Exam help isn't just for students!
In this section we will attempt to debunk myths, offer advice, and clear up some common confusions surrounding the examinations for Classics in the UK. Look at the menu on the left to browse the titles of our articles.
Whilst CSCP works closely with both OCR and Eduqas, we are not affiliated with either and as such the advice and guidance we offer should not be considered the 'official line' of the boards. Unless an event, resource or person is officially connected to the boards you cannot guarantee the accuracy of the information you may receive. We make every effort to fact check our information, however it is no substitute for information provided directly by the boards.

quis custodiet ipsos custodes
Exam boards do their best to ensure the reliability and validity of students' results, but errors can occur and sometimes they may fall below the expected standard. Should this happen you can raise a concern with the regulator, Ofqual.
Ofqual is responsible for checking that boards fulfil their responsibilities and have the power to sanction them. Should you feel that something is amiss with an exam, for example it deviates from the accredited specification or contains a major error, and the exam board has not responded acceptably then you can report this to them directly. Details of this process can be found here.
Ofqual also publishes information about the exam system as a whole, policy updates and other useful information. Do have a look at their website including a helpful breakdown of the regulations around different qualifications and issues.
Finally, if you want to know what regulations the boards are subject to, how exams are administered, or information about exam entries and results, the Joint Council of Qualifications (JCQ) is where you need to look.
