GCSE Assessment Information:
The weighting of the different content domains for the 9-1 GCSE is prescribed by the Department for Education (DFE) as follows:
| Weighting of marks per assessment series for “Probability & Statistics” | |
|---|---|
| Foundation tier | Higher Tier |
| 15% | 15% |
.
Exam boards are to apply these weightings, subject to a +/-3% tolerance across the assessments for each tier in each Assessment Series. Note that where they do not achieve this in a given Assessment Series they should achieve them in as few Assessment Series as is possible.
