Sitting Exams at BWA
Mock exams at BWA are run following JCQ regulations as much as possible, to enable candidates to become familiar with the JCQ rules.
Mock exams are held during the Summer Term of Year 10, and during the Autumn and Spring Terms of Year 11.
The Summer exam season runs from May to the end of June each year, with JCQ Contingency Days throughout. Candidates must be available to attend exams up to and including the last Contingency Day, even if they do not have a timetabled exam.
The dates of the Contingency Days must be taken into consideration.
A personalised timetable will be given to candidates and made available to parents on MCAS in the Spring of Year 11.
We know it can be a stressful time during exams season. Please take a look at further information from the Gov website on exam pressure: Coping with exam pressure - a guide for students - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)
