GCSE Examinations 2024
Exams and assessments for all qualifications are going ahead as normal this year and grading arrangements will be as normal, with GCSE exams in 2024 being conducted in the same way as before the pandemic. The gaps between exam papers have been reduced, and the longer gaps used in the 2023 exam series do not appear on the 2024 GCSE exam timetable.
The Department for Education has confirmed it is not necessary for students to memorise formulae for GCSE mathematics and equations for GCSE physics and combined science in 2024. Students will be provided with support materials in the form of formulae and revised equations sheets for GCSE mathematics, physics, and combined science exams in 2024 only.
The Department for Education has confirmed that 2024 will be the final year for these changes to its subject content requirements. There will be a return to normal exam arrangements for these subjects in 2025. This means that formulae and revised equation sheets will not be available after 2024. Students preparing for GCSE mathematics, physics, and combined science exams in 2025 and beyond will be expected to know and recall all the usual formulae and equations set out in DfE’s subject content.
