What Are Access Arrangements?
If a learner has a special educational need or disability that affects their ability to access exams, Access Arrangements can be put in place to provide appropriate support.
These adjustments ensure that learners can demonstrate their knowledge and skills fairly, without changing the demands of the assessment.
Who this assessment service is for?
- Schools and colleges
- Students from Year 9
- Parents (with school permission)
Who Might Benefit From an Access Arrangements Assessment?
- An Access Arrangements assessment may be helpful for students who experience ongoing difficulties that affect their ability to complete examinations within standard conditions. An assessment may be helpful if a learner:
- Works significantly more slowly than their peers
- Finds it difficult to read or process exam questions
- Has difficulties with writing speed or organisation
- Struggles with memory, processing or concentration
- Has an identified or suspected specific learning difficulty, such as dyslexia
