• AS level business studies (unit BUSS2) - incomplete information in a question

As was the question 3 brands of 80 worth of potentially impossible to answer, we discounted it. We adjusted the other brands so that the maximum mark, i.e. 80 remained.

• AS level computing (unit COMP2) - error in a chart

As possible to achieve some marks for the question was for students, we gave all the students the maximum marks (5 brands of 60) for the affected part of the question.

• As level geography (unit GEOG2) - error in a chart

As possible to achieve some marks for the question was for students, we gave all the students the maximum marks (4 stamps of 50) for this question.

CCEA

GCE mathematics (unit FP2) - other errors in a mathematical equation

An error in a formula meant that students can not part of the last question answer have been and have potentially could two marks therefore missed.

Following measures have been taken:

¦, that each paper individually was reviewed by a team of senior examiners.

¦ The mark scheme has been adapted so that to give full credit for method.

¦ The bug will be taken into account when setting the class.

¦ We inform UCAS all students affected by this bug.

EDEXCEL

We take very seriously the quality of our investigations to Edexcel. Unfortunately a bug found on 16 may biology was lifestyle, transport, genes and health (6BI01) as a paper in the Edexcel GCE, unit 1:.

In this paper was a multiple choice question where no answer as an option was offered. We greatly regret this error, and we have the necessary measures to ensure that no students are either beneficiaries or disadvantaged by it.

The issue affected was Q6c(i) on page 21 of the paper issue. All students have "0" for this issue been achieved, and a total raw mark for the paper reduced been by a mark of 80 brands 79 marks.

The question paper is completed this and we now understand how students have performed 6c(i) both before and after issue. For each individual student we have carried out carefully, as they, before and after the relevant question on paper, which sat with us estimated grades from their teachers and their performance in the other GCE biology unit.

Adjustments can be on a small number of candidates as a result of these checks mark. The schools and centres concerned student be notified during the week of 8 August 2011.

OCR

A2 level Physics (unit G485)

Error: Correct value of the record distance in the graph is inconsistent with the value in text

When the test met team, in due course standardize labelling this paper, aid in the mark scheme give full credit to candidates who either had used the plate separation values, has been cited in centimetres or metres.

Conducted a detailed research of the statistical data which compared the performance of the candidates, the inclusion in this paper with the same unit in June 2010, before the award has taken place. In particular comparisons were made of the performance in a similar question by June 2010, with the error in June 2011.

The results of this research clearly showed that the error in the paper had 2011 affected not qualifying as a whole. However, separate statistical analysis on candidate was carried out get an inappropriate grade endangered understood.

Attention has been given in the award happen where the boundaries of the class were selected to ensure that the performance in the G485 with the performance in the other examined unit from this series, G484 as well as targeted as possible. This ensures that the class unit G485 awarded fair for the candidates as a whole, with this unit.

AS level mathematics (unit 4736 decision 1)

Error: Incorrect information in a question

The mark scheme for this article has been adapted to minimize the effect of the issue with the error during the standardization session. All brands were directed special attention to this question. Strike-through work was marked, even if it has been replaced and was given credit for the most accurate attempt.

A detailed research of the statistical data which compared the performance of the candidates, the inclusion in this paper with the same unit in June 2010 and January 2011 was carried out before the award has taken place. At the pre award created the areas of the scripts of the awarding Committee are taken into account. These were significantly lower and wider than been examined in previous sessions had, because the question paper was more difficult than usual.

The agreed boundary mark for any judgmental was with different forms of statistical analysis and reasonably as identified by the code of practice. They may include compensation for the failure on the paper and still this unit with the others as applied units, and with previous sessions kept aligned.

Separate statistical analysis was performed to identify an inappropriate note get candidates at risk.
