Frequently Asked Questions
What is Access Arrangements?
Access Arrangements
Access Arrangements are pre-agreed modifications made prior to the exam to accommodate a student’s physical, mental, or emotional disability. Our service helps remove unnecessary barriers, ensuring that every student has the opportunity to succeed in their GCSE and A-Level exams
Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of support can be provided?
Reasonable Adjustments
• Extra Time: Additional time to complete the exam, typically 25% more, to accommodate those with processing difficulties.
• Supervised Rest Breaks: Allowing students to take breaks during the exam under supervision, without it counting against their exam time, to help manage conditions like anxiety or fatigue.
• Use of a Word Processor (Laptop): Allowing students to type their answers instead of writing them by hand, which is particularly useful for those with handwriting difficulties or certain physical disabilities.
