Original consultation
Consultation description
Ofqual is introducing a national reference test (NRT), which will provide additional information to support the grades awarded at GCSE. Ofqual will trial the test in March 2016, and the first NRT will take place in March 2017.
We鈥檇 like your views on proposed secondary legislation that requires selected schools to take part in the NRT. This requirement will help ensure that the sample of pupils and schools that take part each year is fully representative.
