General information
This document lists the unit and subject award entry codes for all series in the academic year 2017/18. 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 2017/18 in A3 format was sent to your centre in September 2017. 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 2017/18
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 • •
Discounting guidance page of the GOV.UK website QAN website 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. From 2017/18 onwards our basedata includes: • Key Stage 4 codes for all Level 1, 2 and 1/2 awards (eg GCSEs), where the DfE have published a KS4 code • Key Stage 5 (post-16) codes for all Level 3 awards (eg AS and A-level), and for any other award that hasn’t been assigned a Key Stage 4 code. 5
Entry codes 2017/18
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 have followed, 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
Phase one subjects (first teaching September 2015)
Phase two subjects (first teaching September 2016)
Phase three subjects (first teaching September 2017)
Art and Design Business Computer Science Economics English Language English Literature English Language and Literature History Psychology Sciences (Biology, Chemistry, Physics) Sociology

GCSE reform English Language, English Literature and Maths have been reformed for first teaching in September 2015 with the first assessment in June 2017. Phase two and three subjects have followed (see table below) for first teaching in September 2016 and September 2017 respectively. There will no longer be GCSE English (which was available for the final time in June 2017). Phase two subjects (first teaching September 2016)
Phase three subjects (first teaching September 2017)

Entry codes 2017/18
Availability of reform qualifications within Wales We are offering all our new GCSE, AS and A-level qualifications in Wales. Of these, only ‘designated’ qualifications recognised by Qualifications Wales will be eligible for state funding. Details of which qualifications attract state funding can be found on the Qualifications Wales website.
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), 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) are now available in Northern Ireland for first teaching in September 2017. The first examinations for pupils in Northern Ireland will be in June 2019.
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 2017/18 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.

These specifications are not available to centres in Northern Ireland. For more information, see the Changes to exams section on page 7. A single entry is all that is needed for examination papers, endorsement entry (where applicable) and certification. If a candidate wishes to re-take the qualification, they may carry forward the endorsement provided the candidate has previously certified the same qualification. If a candidate has more than one previous attempt, the attempt that was used in the most recent award (including grades of ‘Not Classified’) will be carried forward. The endorsement may be carried forward across awarding bodies. 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 AS specification is available to private candidates. It is expected that students undertaking the AS will carry out at least the six required practical activities in section 7.2 of the specification, and private candidates should make arrangements to complete sufficient practical work to fulfil this expectation. 15% of the marks in the AS papers will relate to practical work. The Advanced specification is available to private candidates. Centres accepting private candidates must make provision for them to carry out all the required practical activities specified in section 8.2 of the specification and must submit a non-exam assessment and fieldwork centre declaration form.

Mathematics (continued)(outgoing spec) GCE This specification will be withdrawn after June 2018. A final re-sit only opportunity will be available in June 2019. Students starting AS studies for the first time in September 2017 are expected to study the new specification. Please see pages 78 - 79 for details of our new GCE Further Mathematics specifications. 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. 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.

Physics (continued) (new spec) GCE These specifications are not available to centres in Northern Ireland. For more information, see the Changes to exams section on page 7. A single entry is all that is needed for examination papers, non-exam assessment (where applicable) and certification. Candidates taking the A-level qualification will only be allowed to enter one of the five options per series. If a candidate wishes to re-take the qualification, they may carry forward the endorsement provided the candidate has previously certified the same qualification. If a candidate has more than one previous attempt, the attempt that was used in the most recent award (including grades of ‘Not Classified’) will be carried forward. The endorsement may be carried forward across awarding bodies. 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 AS specification is available to private candidates. It is expected that students undertaking the AS will carry out at least the six required practical activities in section 7.2 of the specification, and private candidates should make arrangements to complete sufficient practical work to fulfil this expectation. 15% of the marks in the AS papers will relate to practical work. The Advanced specification is available to private candidates. Centres accepting private candidates must make provision for them to carry out all the required practical activities specified in section 8.2 of the specification and must submit a non-exam assessment and fieldwork centre declaration form.

This specification will be withdrawn after June 2018. A final re-sit only opportunity will be available in June 2019. 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.

This specification is available as a final re-sit only opportunity. Route 1 (units 1-4) is the only route of assessment available. June 2017 was the final opportunity to make entries for Route 2 (units 4-6). 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 AS4P or MAS4P) provided the candidate has previously certificated the qualification (route 1 4408 or route 2 4409 or Additional Science M route 1 4608). 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 following combinations of awards may not be claimed in the same series: •
GCSE Additional Science (Route 1) with GCSE Biology
•
GCSE Additional Science (Route 1) with GCSE Chemistry
•

Entry codes 2017/18 - GCSE
Additional Science (continued) GCSE (linear assessment) 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 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 was available for the last time in June 2017. The following combinations of awards may not be claimed in the same series: •
GCSE Biology with GCSE Science A (Route 1)
•
GCSE Biology with GCSE Additional Science (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 specification will be withdrawn after June 2018. 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.

This specification will be withdrawn after June 2018. 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 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 tables. Please see page 5 for information about changes to discounting and the new ‘early entry’ rule. continued on next page 157

This option is available only to candidates who have previously certificated the Single Award (4812). 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 (4812 and/or 4814). 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 not available to private candidates. 167

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 PH4P or MPH4P) provided the candidate has previously certificated the qualification (either Physics 4403 or Physics M 4603). 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 Physics 1 was available for the last time in June 2017. The following combinations of awards may not be claimed in the same series: •
GCSE Physics with GCSE Science A (Route 1)
•
GCSE Physics with GCSE Additional Science (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.

June 2017 was the final opportunity to make entries for route 2 (units 4-6) and for the on-screen units within route 1. 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 SCA4P or MSCA4P) provided the candidate has previously certificated the qualification (route 1 4405 or route 2 4406 or Science M route 1 4605). 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.

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. 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(s)
•
if the candidate has certificated in a previous series, then the result(s) for the controlled assessment(s) can be carried forward.

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).

Subject award
A unit entry will not trigger certification. You will also need to make an entry for the overall subject award if certification is required. The subject award will be available from the June 2019 exam 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 not available to private candidates.
