Are exam arrangements the same for GCSE as for National Curriculum (NC) Tests?
They are similar but not entirely the same. Although the principles behind the arrangements are the same there are some differences of detail. This is partly because NC Tests are the same for all pupils of a certain age across the whole country, whereas GCSEs and other general qualifications can be based on different syllabuses from different examining bodies, and not all pupils sit every subject.
Further information about exam arrangements and access for pupils with vision impairment can be found on RNIB's Access to exams and tests webpage.
