@hurricaneteach@MichaelT1979 I’ve looked at the contents for Oxford Secondary English Books 2–4 on https://t.co/GLtMrzIgu1 and Kraznir doesn’t appear again. As the only results for exactly ‘Return to Kraznir’ on Google point to a now-deleted TES resource, I assume it was an unofficial follow-up by a teacher.
This year's GCSE and A-Level exams have finally come to an end. In 1969 Tomorrow's World reported on how for the first time A Level Physics papers for the South East Regional Exam board were marked by a computer.
@mactrackerapp@aberkvam@AppStore Hi. Mactracker is a great app and the favourites list is particularly useful because I put every Apple device I’ve ever owned into it. I’m using the latest versions of iOS and iPadOS (17.4.1). I’ve now re-added my favourites and they’ve stuck.
@aberkvam@mactrackerapp@AppStore I’ve had exactly the same issue: all my favourites have been deleted. On iPadOS, they were just gone. On iOS, they were there, but selecting one caused a crash and then they had disappeared when I reopened the app. Very frustrating.
@Mrsdemetriou Lovely to see you too! I had one ready within 45 minutes of the results being released – but it was for Eduqas, so probably not that useful to you?
@hurricaneteach The difference between 2019 and 2022 was narrower than 2018–2019, so looks within normal variation. The whole qualification being out of 500 (because of exam marks being doubled) can make differences appear bigger. Our students did well. Pleasing results. Hope yours did well too.
@hurricaneteach @DanSeanClayton @AnniMatthew These are the overall grade boundaries (I haven’t been posting these the last couple of years because of comparisons being discouraged).
@hitchbloke @FCDWhittaker Eduqas have been second in English GCSEs from the first current spec results in 2017. Before that, WJEC had been second in English (with most entries coming from English) since the mid-2000s. Many schools switched to them for the 2004 specs and they kept growing.
@hitchbloke @FCDWhittaker To be fair, Schools Week has got better at referring to all four boards, but there are still slips like that advanced information article where the whole point was to point towards all the official sources and one was omitted.
@hitchbloke @FCDWhittaker Yes. But, considering ALL of England is outside their historical geographical area, they’ve done well. My original point was that there are four exam boards offering GCSEs and A Levels in England, but Schools Week often exclude Eduqas in articles about all of them.
@hitchbloke @FCDWhittaker Interesting. Last year’s Schools Week article on fees (https://t.co/BO2olAJxuH) didn’t mention Eduqas despite their fees being out months before. Other SW articles, like https://t.co/7Cga3I3SzU, have ignored them too. Schools Week are getting better, but it does happen a lot.
@FCDWhittaker I thought I saw them earlier, but I now think I might have been confused by their website still having the ancient 2022 fees on and was therefore actually looking at this year’s fees. Oops.
