GCSE and A-level results in England 2020
GCSE and A-level results in England will be slightly higher in the summer of 2020. Exam boards have said they will be lenient using the predicted outcome. Here at the Exam House GCSE & A level Exam Centre we have worked hard to provide an accurate reflection of the candidate with the predicted grades. We hope that leniency doesn’t undermine this value.
The watchdog Ofqual says the numbers getting good grades will be 2% higher at A-level and 1% at GCSE.
But they will be much lower than the "optimistic" predictions from teachers, which at A-level would have pushed up results 12% higher than last year.
The exam regulator said it is reasonably confident, from preliminary results, that there has been no "unconscious bias" in predicted grades that would have disadvantaged ethnic minorities or poorer students.
A report from the parliamentary select committee this month warned of the chance that some pupils could be discriminated against.
Ofqual claims there is little evidence of any widening gaps in this summer's results including ethnicity, gender or deprivation, compared with years when pupils have taken exams.
