CCEA Specification • All papers have 100 marks • T 1 - T 4 papers address 3 grades each • T 5 and T 6 – papers split in 2 parts but nevertheless address 5 grades each • Papers are also balanced across Number/Algebra/SS & M/Data Handling

CCEA Specification • T 1 - T 4 all calculator • T 5 and T 6 – papers split in 2 parts; hence 27. 5% non-calculator overall • T 5 requires only knowledge of T 1 and not T 2; no T 2 material on T 5 • T 6 requires only knowledge of T 3 and not T 4; no T 4 material on T 6

Scheme of Assessment § For a full award, candidates must complete two tests: a unit test and a completion test: § Foundation Tier candidates would normally enter for T 1 or T 2 and T 5 § Higher Tier candidates would normally enter for T 3 or T 4 and T 6

CCEA Specification But - any combination of T 1 to T 4 along with T 5 or T 6 is possible Uniform marks T 3 = 143 T 5 = 153 Total = 296 Grade B = 280 T 3 MAX = 83 T 5 MAX = 75

Assessment Objectives In GCSE Mathematics, students are assessed against three assessment objectives. They must: recall and use their knowledge of the prescribed content (AO 1); select and apply mathematical methods in a range of contexts (AO 2); and interpret and analyse problems and generate strategies to solve them (AO 3).

Assessment Objectives Assessment objective weightings The table below sets out the assessment objective weightings for the overall GCSE qualification: Assessment Component Weighting Objective Foundation Tier Higher Tier T 1 or T 2 and T 5 T 3 or T 4 and T 6 AO 1 45– 55% AO 2 25– 35% AO 3 15– 25%

The 40% rule • The Completion Test (T 5 or T 6) should normally be taken at the end of the course as terminal assessment and contributes to the candidate’s final grade • Candidates must take at least 40% of the assessment in the same series they enter for certification of the qualification

Terminal and Resit Rules • JCQ circular sent to schools in Jan 2010 • Students must take at least 40% of the assessment in the final examination series when they certificate. • This means that at the time they cashin, they must sit at least one unit of either T 1, T 2, T 3, T 4, T 5 or T 6.

Terminal and Resit Rules • The 40% terminal assessment means that there is limited flexibility in the way that students can progress throughout the course. • Students may only resit a unit once.

Terminal and Resit Rules • The better result for the two attempts at a unit counts, as long as the 40% terminal requirement is satisfied. • The final grade will include the assessment unit result which satisfies the terminal requirement. • This means that the results for the unit that satisfies the terminal requirement will count (i. e will be used to calculate the grade) even if there is a better score for an earlier attempt at this unit.

On-Screen Marking • CCEA marked 150, 000 scripts online across 73 components at GCSE and GCE in Summer 2014 • The benefits of online marking include: ü improved marking accuracy; ü quicker turnaround in return of results; ü greater control of the process; ü reduced logistics costs; ü increased examiner satisfaction; and ü question/item level data readily available.

Benefits of item level data § Can be used to see how well students have achieved in relation to other centres e. g CCEA performance for students in N. Ireland based on grammar/non grammar, overall achievement. § Enables teachers to view results in relation to different aspects of the specification, down to responses to individual questions and even parts of questions. § Can be used by teachers to quickly and easily analyse student results and identify strengths and weaknesses.

Benefits of item level data § Identify which questions proved most challenging and how different classes performed. § Track pupils, identify weaknesses for resits in different areas of the subject e. g algebra. § Should be able to feed into planning, so that HODs can focus on various areas for revision work and teach effectively. § Provide more comprehensive and diagnostic feedback from teachers to parents.

Clarification GCSE Mathematics: Use of Pencil Circular S/IF/92/13 issued December 2013 Please advise candidates in the above subject of the following information: Questions which require drawing or sketching should be completed using an HB pencil. All other questions must be completed in blue or black ink. Gel pens are not to be used. This information clarifies the instructions on the January 2014 GCSE Mathematics question papers, which do not make reference to the use of pencil. Please ensure invigilators are aware of this information in advance of the January 2014 series.
