General information
This document lists the unit and subject award entry codes for all series in the academic year 2016/17. Further
information about making entries is available from the Exams administration | Entries page of our website aqa.org.uk
Series
All entries for our examinations are collected by series, irrespective of the method of entry you use to submit them.
The closing date for the receipt of entries and the date of publication of results for particular examinations determine
each series.
A copy of the Exam series guide 2016/17 in A3 format was sent to your centre in September 2016. It is also available
from the Exams administration | Entries page of our website aqa.org.uk
Entry codes
Section 5 contains all the entry codes for all the exams (subject awards, options, units and components) that are
available in any given series. You must use the appropriate entry code irrespective of your method of entry.
Basedata (containing information on the specifications, units, options and components) will also be provided for each
series for centres wishing to submit entries by EDI.
A separate entry, using the appropriate entry code, is required for every assessment (subject award, unit or option) for
which a result is to be reported.
Before making an entry for a particular subject, you should refer to:
• the specification for the subject
• any changes to examination provision detailed in the appropriate specification
• any restrictions on entry detailed in Section 2 of this document.
Please see the Exams administration | Entries | Entries for exams officers page of our website aqa.org.uk for full
details on basedata and submitting entries.

Restrictions on entry in 2016/17
Unique Learner Numbers (ULNs)
From January 2014, all students entered for an exam at a state funded school/college in England need a ULN. The
ULN is a 10-digit number used to access the Personal Learning Record (PLR) of anyone over the age of 14 involved
in education or training. The PLR is an online, lifelong record of individuals' achievements which they can share with
other parties (for example employers, colleges, universities).
Before entering students, you need to get valid ULNs for them that match the details held in the Learning Records
Service (LRS). We can't access LRS to amend errors so if there are mismatches, we will return the invalid data to you,
via e-AQA, for you to resolve with LRS.
Where the ULN is mandatory we will not process entries if the ULN is not present. However, if the supplied ULN
returns as a mismatch from LRS we will report this. We will still issue student results as normal but will be unable to
upload these to the PLR.
ULNs will not replace UCI numbers (Unique Candidate Identifier) so please ensure you include them in your entries
submissions.
Discount (classification) codes
Discounting guidance can be found on the Department for Education (DfE) websites
•
•
RAISEonline www.raiseonline.org in the ‘library’ section
QAN Web Site https://collectdata.education.gov.uk/qwsweb
The Department for Education (DfE) assign each specification a national discount code (sometimes referred to as a
classification code) on the basis of the subject area it covers - these codes are used in the calculation of
school/college performance tables.
Some awards (for example GCE Advanced Subsidiary (AS) awards) have two discount codes, as they are grouped
1
differently for key stage 4 (pre-16) and key stage 5 (post-16) discounting purposes .
An early entry rule for key stage 4 (KS4) qualifications was introduced following the Secretary of State announcement
that, from 29 September 2013, only a pupil’s first entry to a KS4 qualification counts towards their school’s
performance measures. The early entry rule applies even where qualifications are taken with one exam board and
then re-taken with another. Although the new rule does not prevent schools from entering pupils for examinations
before the end of key stage 4, it aims to focus attention on whether pupils have been sufficiently prepared to achieve
the very best possible outcome in that subject. Pupils can sit an examination more than once but it will be their first
certificated grade in that subject that will be used for performance measures.
You may wish to advise your candidates that, if they take two specifications with the same discount code, schools,
colleges, universities and employers are very likely to take the view that they have achieved only one of the two
specifications. The same view may be taken if candidates take two specifications that have different discount codes
but have significant overlap of contents. Candidates who have any doubts about their subject combinations should
check with the institution to which they wish to progress or company they wish to join, before embarking on their
programmes.
Discount codes are shown in the tables in Section 5.
1
The JCQ basedata formats only allows for one discount code in basedata. For specifications with two codes, our
basedata includes the key stage 4 (pre-16) code.

Entry codes 2016/17
Prohibited combinations
Before making an entry for a particular subject, you should refer to any statement in the specification that deals with
prohibited combinations of units and specifications, in addition to any restrictions of specifications within the same
discount code.
Candidates entered for prohibited combinations of subjects will be reported on the Centre Entry Query Report. You will
be required to cancel or amend the entry. You must inform us of these decisions by EDI or e-AQA.
Private candidates
A private candidate is someone who enters for exams through an AQA-approved school or college but is not enrolled
as a candidate there. Private candidates may be self-taught, home-schooled or have private tuition with a tutor or
through a distance learning organisation.
Candidates can only become a private candidate in the UK. Exams are not available for private candidates to sit
outside the UK.
Not all specifications are available to private candidates and those with internally-assessed units may have
restrictions. Further information can be found on the private candidates page of our website aqa.org.uk/private
Restricted pilot specifications
Specifications offered as part of a restricted pilot have been included in this booklet. Most pilot schemes have the
maximum number of candidates and centres that can participate determined by the regulator. Centres will normally be
invited to take part in the pilot scheme. If you require any information on any of the restricted pilot specifications,
please contact the appropriate subject team.

Changes to exams
A-level reform
Some A-levels have been reformed for first teaching in September 2015 (see table below) with the first assessment of
AS in June 2016, and the first assessment of full A-level in June 2017. Phase two and three subjects will follow, for
first teaching in September 2016 and September 2017 respectively.
Changes to AS levels
•
•
•
AS levels will be standalone qualifications and will no longer contribute to A-levels
New AS levels will be designed to offer breadth to the curriculum and will broadly remain at their current
standard
In some subjects, it may be appropriate for the AS to be designed to be co-taught with the first year of the
A-level

Entry codes 2016/17
Availability of reform qualifications within Wales
We’re not planning to offer our new GCSE, AS or A-level qualifications in Wales.
WJEC was the only exam board that committed to offering Wales-specific general qualifications for first teaching from
September 2015, 2016 and 2017.
This means that, in Wales:
•
•
•
maintained schools and colleges can only offer WJEC specifications
independent schools can still offer qualifications from any exam board
outside of GCSE, AS and A-level, all schools can offer qualifications from any exam board.
There’s more information, including a full list of the qualifications affected, on the Qualifications Wales FAQ page.
For qualifications where no new specifications are being developed specifically for first teaching in 2016 or 2017 in
Wales, to avoid restricting the choice of subjects available to learners, the Welsh Government is allowing all schools
to:
•
•
offer existing (non-reformed) GCSE, AS and A-level qualifications
offer new GCSE, AS and A-level qualifications designed for England or Northern Ireland, as long as they meet
the respective regulator’s requirements.
Currently this only applies to GCSE and A-level Dance.
Availability of reform qualifications within Northern Ireland
Schools and colleges in Northern Ireland can offer all of our GCSE, AS and A-level qualifications as long as they meet
any subject-specific requirements, even if the qualification was specifically designed for England.
The only AQA specifications that schools in Northern Ireland cannot offer are:
•
•
•
AS Biology (7401) & A-level Biology (7402), AS Chemistry (7404) & A-level Chemistry (7405), and AS Physics
(7407) & A-level Physics (7408) as these awards don’t have a mark for assessing practical skills that
contribute to the overall grade.
GCSE English Language (8700)(first exams June 2017), as it doesn’t have a mark for speaking and listening
that contributes to the overall grade.
GCSE Biology (8461), Chemistry (8462), Physics (8463), Combined Science: Synergy (8465) and Combined
Science: Trilogy (8464) (first exams 2018) as these awards don’t have a mark for assessing practical skills
that contribute to the overall grade.
Availability of outgoing GCSE, AS and A-level qualifications
It is expected that schools will offer reformed GCSE, AS and A-level qualifications wherever they have been
introduced. Information about re-sit opportunities for the equivalent outgoing specifications is available from Ofqual’s
website.
GCSE exams in 2016/17
In December 2011 Ofqual announced that all GCSEs taken in June 2014 and after will be linear in structure. All
candidates will be required to take all GCSE assessments at the end of the course with the following exceptions:
•
•
For most GCSEs, a candidate who has previously certificated and is satisfied with the result(s) awarded for the
controlled assessment unit(s) may be able to carry forward the result(s) for the controlled assessment.
For most Double Award GCSEs, candidates can use the result of their Full Course Single Award towards the
GCSE Double Award.
This change to specifications, including information on carrying forward controlled assessment and ‘topping up’ Single
Award to Double Award GCSEs, is detailed in the information in Section 5 for each specification.

This specification will be withdrawn after the June 2017 series.
Candidates may enter for only one of the eight options per series. A single entry is all that is needed for both
examination papers and certification.
The entry code is dependent on the combination of tiers being entered. Within each of the three subject areas
(Biology, Chemistry, Physics) candidates must take the same tier for both papers 1 and 2, but need not take
the same tier in each of the three subject areas.
The Department for Education (DfE) assign each qualification national discount (classification) codes on the
basis of the subject area it covers - these codes are used in the calculation of school/college performance
tables. Please see page 5 for information about changes to discounting and the new ‘early entry’ rule.
This specification is available to private candidates.

make an entry for the overall subject award (4351) if certification is required in June 2017.
The two FSMQ choices must not be from the same topic area. The following combinations of units may not
be used towards an award in this qualification:
•
4981 Money Management
with
4984 Financial Calculations
•
4982 Using Spatial Techniques
with
4985 Shape and Space
•
4983 Using Data

tables. Please see page 5 for information about changes to discounting and the new ‘early entry’ rule.
This specification is available to private candidates where:
•
Units 3 and 6, option X - candidates are attending an AQA centre that must supervise and authenticate
the practical PSV/EMPA and written components of the EMPA
•

A unit entry will not trigger certification. You will also need to make an entry for the overall subject awards
(5361, 6361, 5366, 6366, 5371, 6371 as appropriate) if certification is required in June 2017.
Units MM2A (Mechanics 2 option A) and MS2A (Statistics 2 option A) were last offered in June 2008. Unit
MM1A (Mechanics 1 option A) was last offered in June 2012.
Candidates re-taking unit MS1A can also carry forward marks from the previous combined GCE Mathematics
and GCE Statistics coursework component MS/SS1A/C, last offered in June 2013.
Rules for combinations of awards and unit entries
Full guidance (including examples) is available in the JCQ document GCE Maths Rules - guidance for centres
at www.jcq.org.uk/exams-office/entries/gce-maths-information
•
Units that contribute to an award in A-level Mathematics may not also be used for an award in Further
Mathematics.
o
Candidates who are awarded certificates in both A-level Mathematics and A-level Further
Mathematics must use unit results from 12 different teaching modules.
o
Candidates who are awarded certificates in both A-level Mathematics and AS Further Mathematics
must use unit results from 9 different teaching modules.
o
Candidates who are awarded certificates in both AS` Mathematics and AS Further Mathematics must
use unit results from 6 different teaching modules.
•
Where candidates claim a combination of awards, the units will be aggregated to provide the best grade(s)
for the combination. For a candidate entered for both Mathematics and Further Mathematics, the best
grade for Mathematics will be generated first.
•
When units have contributed to an award in a previous series they are tied to that subject title. To release
them, candidates need to re-enter the award code for these subjects again. This is particularly important
for candidates who have certificated AS or A-level Mathematics in a previous series and now wish to
certificate Further Mathematics.
•
AS Further Mathematics (5371) cannot be certificated unless AS level Mathematics or A-level
Mathematics has been or is being concurrently certificated with AQA or another awarding body.
•
A-level Further Mathematics (6371) cannot be certificated unless A-level Mathematics has been or is
being concurrently certificated with AQA or another awarding body.
•
Combinations of subject awards for this specification are subject to the following conditions.
o
Awards in the following pairs of subject titles will not be allowed:
AS Mathematics and AS Pure Mathematics;
AS Mathematics and A-level Pure Mathematics;
A-level Mathematics and AS Pure Mathematics;
A-level Mathematics and A-level Pure Mathematics.
AS Pure Mathematics and AS Further Mathematics;
AS Pure Mathematics and A-level Further Mathematics;
A-level Pure Mathematics and AS Further Mathematics;
A-level Pure Mathematics and A-level Further Mathematics.
•
Concurrent entries for the following pair of units will not be accepted:
MS1A and MS1B
The Department for Education (DfE) assign each qualification national discount (classification) codes on the
basis of the subject area it covers - these codes are used in the calculation of school/college performance
tables. Please see page 5 for information about changes to discounting and the new ‘early entry’ rule.
This specification is available to private candidates subject to the conditions above and the following:
Unit MS1A: This unit comprises coursework and a written examination and is available only to private
candidates who have already received a result for the unit, in which case the mark for the coursework
component must be carried forward and the written component of the unit can be retaken.

deleted no later than the date of the publication of results for that series.
•
Visiting examiner option
Centres who request a visiting examiner must meet the requirement for a minimum of ten candidates.
The Department for Education (DfE) assign each qualification national discount (classification) codes on the
basis of the subject area it covers - these codes are used in the calculation of school/college performance
tables. Please see page 5 for information about changes to discounting and the new ‘early entry’ rule.

The e-AQA qualification code for units 2, 3 and 4 (the FSMQ units) is FSM. The qualification code for units 1,
5 and 6, and the AS and Advanced subject awards is GCE.
This is a pilot specification and, as such, centres will be invited to take part with the maximum number of
candidates and centres participating being determined by the regulator.
A unit entry will not trigger certification. You will also need to make an entry for the overall subject award
(9361, 9362 as appropriate) if certification is required in June 2017.
The Department for Education (DfE) assign each qualification national discount (classification) codes on the
basis of the subject area it covers - these codes are used in the calculation of school/college performance
tables. Please see page 5 for information about changes to discounting and the new ‘early entry’ rule.
This specification is available to private candidates only at centres approved for the pilot.
Private candidates wishing to submit coursework for assessment must make arrangements for their work to be
authenticated. Details of their authentication arrangements must be submitted to us using a Private candidate
coursework information form at the time their entry request is made. Please see our website

This specification is being withdrawn. June 2017 is the final opportunity to make entries.
This unitised specification must be taken in a linear manner – which means that each unit contributing to the
GCSE award must be taken in the same exam series. A separate entry is required for each unit and for the
subject award.
If a candidate wishes to re-take the qualification, they may carry forward the result of the controlled
assessment unit provided the candidate has previously certificated the same qualification. If a candidate has
more than one previous attempt, the attempt that was used in the most recent award will be carried forward. If
a candidate wishes to carry forward the result for the controlled assessment unit, a new entry for the unit is still
required in the certificating series.

basis of the subject area it covers - these codes are used in the calculation of school/college performance

This specification is available to private candidates where:
•
because of the nature of the controlled assessment, candidates are attending an AQA centre that must
supervise, authenticate and mark the controlled assessment
•
if the candidate has certificated in a previous series, then the result for the controlled assessment can
be carried forward.

Unit 4: ISAs have a specific submission date each year. Candidates may attempt any number of the ISAs
supplied by AQA for a particular subject. The best mark they achieve from a complete ISA is submitted.
A candidate is only allowed to have one attempt at each ISA, and this may only be submitted for moderation
on one occasion. It would constitute malpractice if the candidate is found to have submitted the same ISA
more than once and they could be excluded from at least this qualification.
The Department for Education (DfE) assign each qualification national discount (classification) codes on the
basis of the subject area it covers - these codes are used in the calculation of school/college performance

This specification will be withdrawn after the June 2017 series.
This unitised specification must be taken in a linear manner – which means that each unit contributing to the
GCSE award must be taken in the same exam series. A separate entry is required for each unit and for the
subject award.
If a candidate wishes to re-take the qualification, they may carry forward the result of the controlled
assessment unit provided the candidate has previously certificated the same qualification. If a candidate has
more than one previous attempt, the attempt that was used in the most recent award will be carried forward. If
a candidate wishes to carry forward the result for the controlled assessment unit, a new entry for the unit is still
required in the certificating series. Candidates are not allowed to carry forward their externally set task result.
The Department for Education (DfE) assign each qualification national discount (classification) codes on the
basis of the subject area it covers - these codes are used in the calculation of school/college performance
tables. Please see page 5 for information about changes to discounting and the new ‘early entry’ rule.
This specification is not available to private candidates.

This specification is being withdrawn. June 2017 is the final opportunity to make entries for the on-screen
units. A final re-sit opportunity, for which the on-screen units will not be offered, will be available in January
2018.
This unitised specification must be taken in a linear manner – which means that each unit contributing to the
GCSE award must be taken in the same exam series. A separate entry is required for each unit and for the
subject award.
If a candidate wishes to re-take the qualification, they may carry forward the result of the controlled
assessment unit (from either BL4P or MBL4P) provided the candidate has previously certificated the
qualification (either Biology 4401 or Biology M 4601). If a candidate has more than one previous attempt, the
attempt that was used in the most recent award will be carried forward. If a candidate wishes to carry forward
the result for the controlled assessment unit, a new entry for the unit is still required in the certificating series.
The on-screen route to assessment in GCSE Biology 1 will be available in June 2017. A different entry code is
used to identify on-screen and paper based options: please ensure that the correct entry code is used.
The software required to run the test can be installed free of charge. Further information on the on-screen
tests, including details of the minimum system requirements, can be found on our website at aqa.org.uk/ost
Concurrent entries for both the paper based and on-screen routes for Biology 1 will not be accepted.
In addition, the following combinations of awards may not be claimed in the same series:
•
GCSE Biology with GCSE Science A (Route 1)

Unit 4: ISAs have a specific submission date each year. Candidates may attempt any number of the ISAs
supplied by AQA for a particular subject. The best mark they achieve from a complete ISA is submitted.
A candidate is only allowed to have one attempt at each ISA, and this may only be submitted for moderation
on one occasion. It would constitute malpractice if the candidate is found to have submitted the same ISA
more than once and they could be excluded from at least this qualification.
The Department for Education (DfE) assign each qualification national discount (classification) codes on the
basis of the subject area it covers - these codes are used in the calculation of school/college performance
tables. Please see page 5 for information about changes to discounting and the new ‘early entry’ rule.
This specification is available to private candidates where:
•
because of the nature of the controlled assessment, candidates are attending an AQA centre that must
supervise, authenticate and mark the controlled assessment
•
if the candidate has certificated in a previous series, then the result for the controlled assessment can
be carried forward.

This unitised specification must be taken in a linear manner – which means that each unit contributing to the
GCSE award must be taken in the same exam series. A separate entry is required for each unit and for the
subject award.
If a candidate wishes to re-take the qualification, they may carry forward the result(s) of the controlled
assessment unit(s) provided the candidate has previously certificated the same qualification (for example a
candidate re-taking the Full Course must have previously certificated the Full Course award). If a candidate
has more than one previous attempt, the attempt that was used in the most recent award will be carried
forward.
If a candidate wishes to carry forward the result for the controlled assessment unit(s), a new entry for the
unit(s) is still required in the certificating series.
The Department for Education (DfE) assign each qualification national discount (classification) codes on the
basis of the subject area it covers - these codes are used in the calculation of school/college performance
tables. Please see page 5 for information about changes to discounting and the new ‘early entry’ rule.
This specification is available to private candidates where:
•
because of the nature of the controlled assessment, candidates are attending an AQA centre that must
supervise, authenticate and mark the controlled assessment
•
if the candidate has certificated in a previous series, then the result for the controlled assessment can
be carried forward.

Single Award
This unitised specification must be taken in a linear manner – which means that each unit contributing to the
GCSE award must be taken in the same exam series. A separate entry is required for each unit and for the
subject award.
If a candidate wishes to re-take the Single Award, they may carry forward the result of the controlled
assessment unit provided the candidate has previously certificated the qualification (either the Single Award
4852 or Double Award 4854). If a candidate has more than one previous attempt, the attempt that was used in
the most recent award will be carried forward.
If a candidate wishes to carry forward the result for the controlled assessment unit, a new entry for the unit is
still required in the certificating series.
Double Award
Candidates wishing to take the Double Award have two options:
Option 1 Enter for all four units and the subject award in the same series.
The results for these attempts will be used to form the Double Award. If they wish, candidates can
also claim a Single Award in the same series.
Option 2 Enter for the Double Award units (units 3 & 4) and the subject award (4854) in the same series.
This option is available only to candidates who have previously certificated the Single Award (4852).
The result for these attempts at units 3 & 4 will be combined with the result of the most recent Single
Award (based on units 1 & 2) from a previous series to form the Double Award.
Candidate wishing to re-take the Double Award must enter as above (option 1 or option 2). Results for the
controlled assessment unit(s) can be carried forward provided they have been used in an award previously
(4852 and/or 4854). If a candidate has more than one previous attempt, the attempt that was used in the most
recent award will be carried forward.
If a candidate wishes to carry forward the result for the controlled assessment unit(s), a new entry for the
unit(s) is still required in the certificating series.
The Department for Education (DfE) assign each qualification national discount (classification) codes on the
basis of the subject area it covers - these codes are used in the calculation of school/college performance
tables. Please see page 5 for information about changes to discounting and the new ‘early entry’ rule.

required for each unit and for the subject award.
If a candidate wishes to re-take the qualification, they may:
•
for ENG02 carry forward:
o
the result (grade 5-1) for ENG02 where the candidate has previously certificated either English
(4702) or English Language (4707) and ENG02 was reported as a separate endorsement, or
o
the adjusted mark for ENG02 where the candidate has previously certificated either English (4702)
or English Language (4707) and ENG02 was not reported as a separate endorsement, or
o
the adjusted mark for NENG02 controlled assessment unit, provided the candidate has previously
certificated either English (5702) or English Language (5707).
If a candidate has more than one previous attempt, the attempt that was used in the most recent award
will be carried forward.
•
for ENG03, carry forward the result of the ENG03 or NENG03 controlled assessment unit provided the
candidate has previously certificated English (4702 or 5702). If a candidate has more than one previous
attempt, the attempt that was used in the most recent award will be carried forward.
If a candidate wishes to carry forward the result(s) for the controlled assessment unit(s), a new entry for the
unit(s) is still required in the certificating series.
Candidates cannot be entered for GCSE English and GCSE English Language in the same exam series.

Unit 4: ISAs have a specific submission date each year. Candidates may attempt any number of the ISAs
supplied by AQA for a particular subject. The best mark they achieve from a complete ISA is submitted.
A candidate is only allowed to have one attempt at each ISA, and this may only be submitted for moderation
on one occasion. It would constitute malpractice if the candidate is found to have submitted the same ISA
more than once and they could be excluded from at least this qualification.
The Department for Education (DfE) assign each qualification national discount (classification) codes on the

This unitised specification must be taken in a linear manner – which means that each unit contributing to the
GCSE award must be taken in the same exam series. A separate entry is required for each unit and for the
subject award.
If a candidate wishes to re-take the Single Award, they may carry forward the result of the controlled
assessment unit provided the candidate has previously certificated the qualification (either the Single Award
4822 or Double Award 4824). If a candidate has more than one previous attempt, the attempt that was used in
the most recent award will be carried forward.
If a candidate wishes to carry forward the result for the controlled assessment unit, a new entry for the unit is
still required in the certificating series.
Double Award
Candidates wishing to take the Double Award have two options:
Option 1 Enter for all four units and the subject award in the same series.
The results for these attempts will be used to form the Double Award. If they wish, candidates can
also claim a Single Award in the same series.
Option 2 Enter for the Double Award units (units 3 & 4) and the subject award (4824) in the same series.
This option is available only to candidates who have previously certificated the Single Award (4822).
The result for these attempts at units 3 & 4 will be combined with the result of the most recent Single
Award (based on units 1 & 2) from a previous series to form the Double Award.
Candidate wishing to re-take the Double Award must enter as above (option 1 or option 2). Results for the
controlled assessment unit(s) can be carried forward provided they have been used in an award previously
(4822 and/or 4824). If a candidate has more than one previous attempt, the attempt that was used in the most
recent award will be carried forward.
If a candidate wishes to carry forward the result for the controlled assessment unit(s), a new entry for the
unit(s) is still required in the certificating series.
The Department for Education (DfE) assign each qualification national discount (classification) codes on the
basis of the subject area it covers - these codes are used in the calculation of school/college performance

This unitised specification must be taken in a linear manner – which means that each unit contributing to the
GCSE award must be taken in the same exam series. A separate entry is required for each unit and for the
subject award.
If a candidate wishes to re-take the qualification, they may carry forward the result(s) of the controlled
assessment unit(s) provided the candidate has previously certificated the same qualification (for example a
candidate re-taking the Full Course must have previously certificated the Full Course award). If a candidate
has more than one previous attempt, the attempt that was used in the most recent award will be carried
forward.
Candidates wishing to carry forward unit 3 speaking controlled assessment must carry forward both the
recorded and unrecorded components (candidates do not have the option of carrying forward one component
and submitting new marks/work for the other component).
If a candidate wishes to carry forward the result for the controlled assessment unit(s), a new entry for the
unit(s) is still required in the certificating series.
The Department for Education (DfE) assign each qualification national discount (classification) codes on the
basis of the subject area it covers - these codes are used in the calculation of school/college performance
tables. Please see page 5 for information about changes to discounting and the new ‘early entry’ rule.
This specification is available to private candidates where:
•
because of the nature of the controlled assessment, candidates are attending an AQA centre that must
supervise and authenticate the controlled assessment(s). The centre must also mark the unit 3
speaking controlled assessment
•
if the candidate has certificated in a previous series, then the result(s) for the controlled assessment(s)
can be carried forward.

Single Award
This unitised specification must be taken in a linear manner – which means that each unit contributing to the
GCSE award must be taken in the same exam series. A separate entry is required for each unit and for the
subject award.
If a candidate wishes to re-take the Single Award, they may carry forward the result of the controlled
assessment unit provided the candidate has previously certificated the qualification (either the Single Award
4842 or Double Award 4844). If a candidate has more than one previous attempt, the attempt that was used in
the most recent award will be carried forward.
If a candidate wishes to carry forward the result for the controlled assessment unit, a new entry for the unit is
still required in the certificating series.
Double Award
Candidates wishing to take the Double Award have two options:
Option 1 Enter for all four units and the subject award in the same series.
The results for these attempts will be used to form the Double Award. If they wish, candidates can
also claim a Single Award in the same series.
Option 2 Enter for the Double Award units (units 3 & 4) and the subject award (4844) in the same series.
This option is available only to candidates who have previously certificated the Single Award (4842).
The result for these attempts at units 3 & 4 will be combined with the result of the most recent Single
Award (based on units 1 & 2) from a previous series to form the Double Award.
Candidate wishing to re-take the Double Award must enter as above (option 1 or option 2). Results for the
controlled assessment unit(s) can be carried forward provided they have been used in an award previously
(4842 and/or 4844). If a candidate has more than one previous attempt, the attempt that was used in the most
recent award will be carried forward.
If a candidate wishes to carry forward the result for the controlled assessment unit(s), a new entry for the
unit(s) is still required in the certificating series.

Single Award
This unitised specification must be taken in a linear manner – which means that each unit contributing to the
GCSE award must be taken in the same exam series. A separate entry is required for each unit and for the
subject award.
If a candidate wishes to re-take the Single Award, they may carry forward the result of the controlled
assessment unit provided the candidate has previously certificated the qualification (either the Single Award
4882 or Double Award 4884). If a candidate has more than one previous attempt, the attempt that was used in
the most recent award will be carried forward. Candidates are not allowed to carry forward the external
assignment result (unit 2).
If a candidate wishes to carry forward the result for the controlled assessment unit, a new entry for the unit is
still required in the certificating series.
Double Award
Candidates wishing to take the Double Award have two options:
Option 1 Enter for all four units and the subject award in the same series.
The results for these attempts will be used to form the Double Award. If they wish, candidates can
also claim a Single Award in the same series.
Option 2 Enter for the Double Award units (units 3 & 4) and the subject award (4884) in the same series.
This option is available only to candidates who have previously certificated the Single Award (4882).
The result for these attempts at units 3 & 4 will be combined with the result of the most recent Single
Award (based on units 1 & 2) from a previous series to form the Double Award.
Candidate wishing to re-take the Double Award must enter as above (option 1 or option 2). Results for the
controlled assessment unit(s) can be carried forward provided they have been used in an award previously
(4882 and/or 4884). If a candidate has more than one previous attempt, the attempt that was used in the most
recent award will be carried forward. Candidates are not allowed to carry forward the external assignment
results (units 2 and 4)
If a candidate wishes to carry forward the result for the controlled assessment unit(s), a new entry for the
unit(s) is still required in the certificating series.

supplied by AQA for a particular subject. The best mark they achieve from a complete ISA is submitted.
A candidate is only allowed to have one attempt at each ISA, and this may only be submitted for moderation
on one occasion. It would constitute malpractice if the candidate is found to have submitted the same ISA
more than once and they could be excluded from at least this qualification.

This specification is available to private candidates where:
•
because of the nature of the controlled assessment, candidates are attending an AQA centre that must
supervise, authenticate and mark the controlled assessment
•
if the candidate has certificated in a previous series, then the result for the controlled assessment can

This unitised specification must be taken in a linear manner – which means that each unit contributing to the
GCSE award must be taken in the same exam series. A separate entry is required for each unit and for the
subject award.
If a candidate wishes to re-take the qualification, they may carry forward the result(s) of the controlled
assessment unit(s) provided the candidate has previously certificated the same qualification (for example a
candidate re-taking the Full Course must have previously certificated the Full Course award). If a candidate
has more than one previous attempt, the attempt that was used in the most recent award will be carried
forward.
Candidates wishing to carry forward unit 3 speaking controlled assessment must carry forward both the
recorded and unrecorded components (candidates do not have the option of carrying forward one component
and submitting new marks/work for the other component).
If a candidate wishes to carry forward the result for the controlled assessment unit(s), a new entry for the
unit(s) is still required in the certificating series.
The Department for Education (DfE) assign each qualification national discount (classification) codes on the
basis of the subject area it covers - these codes are used in the calculation of school/college performance
tables. Please see page 5 for information about changes to discounting and the new ‘early entry’ rule.
This specification is available to private candidates where:
•
because of the nature of the controlled assessment, candidates are attending an AQA centre that must
supervise and authenticate the controlled assessment(s). The centre must also mark the unit 3
speaking controlled assessment
•
if the candidate has certificated in a previous series, then the result(s) for the controlled assessment(s)
can be carried forward.
