Daeth adolygiad annibynnol gan Gymwysterau Cymru i’r casgliad a ganlyn:  


* Mae’r defnydd parhaus o gofrestru amryfal a chofrestru cynnar ar lefel TGAU yn peri risg i fyfyrwyr ac i’r system, ac nid oes modd cyfiawnhau hyn yn hawdd iawn.
* Mae hyn yn annog y dull o “addysgu ar gyfer prawf” ar draul cael gwybodaeth ehangach am y pwnc.
* Gwariwyd dros £3\.3m gan ysgolion ar gofrestriadau cynnar yn y flwyddyn academaidd ddiwethaf.

Daeth Cymwysterau Cymru i’r casgliad eu bod “yn poeni am y defnydd eang a chynyddol o’r system cofrestru’n gynnar a’r system cofrestru amryfal.”  
  
Mewn ymateb, cyhoeddodd yr Ysgrifennydd Addysg mai dim ond ymgais gyntaf disgybl sy’n sefyll arholiad TGAU fydd yn cyfri ym mesurau perfformiad yr ysgol o haf 2019 ymlaen.  Mae'r polisi cyfredol yn caniatáu i ysgolion gymryd y radd orau o sawl ymgais.  
  
Dywedodd Kirsty Williams:  
  

> "Bydd y newidiadau sy’n cael eu cyhoeddi heddiw, ar sail canfyddiadau Cymwysterau Cymru, yn sicrhau mai buddiannau’r disgybl sy’n dod gyntaf o hyd.
> 
> “Rwy’n pryderu bod disgyblion sydd â’r potensial i gael graddau A\*, A neu B ar ddiwedd cwrs dwy flynedd, yn gorfod bodloni ar C. Yn amlach na pheidio, mae hyn oherwydd eu bod yn sefyll yr arholiad yn gynnar ac nid ydynt yn cael eu hail gofrestru ar gyfer yr arholiad eto. Rwyf am weld pob plentyn yn cyrraedd eu potensial llawn yn yr ysgol. Ni ddylid cofrestru disgyblion yn gynnar ar gyfer arholiadau oni bai bod y disgybl o dan sylw yn mynd i elwa ar hynny.

> “Mae TGAUau yn arholiadau sydd wedi eu cynllunio i’w sefyll ar ôl dwy flynedd o addysgu, nid un.  Bydd y newidiadau hyn yn sicrhau bod ein pobl ifanc yn cael mynediad at gwricwlwm cytbwys ac eang, ac yn canolbwyntio ar yr hyn sydd orau i’n plant a’n pobl ifanc.”

An independent review by Qualifications Wales has found:  


* The continued widespread use of early and multiple entry at GCSE poses risks to students and to the system, which are not easily justified.
* The practice encourages a “teaching the test” approach at the cost of wider subject knowledge.
* More than £3\.3m was spent by schools on early entry in the last academic year.

Qualifications Wales concluded that they are “concerned about the extensive and growing use of early and multiple entry.”  
  
In response the Education Secretary has announced that, from summer 2019, only a pupil’s first entry to a GCSE examination will count in their school’s performance measures.  The current policy allows schools to count the best grade from multiple sittings.  
  
Kirsty Williams said:
> "The changes I am announcing today, based on Qualification Wales’ findings, will ensure that the interests of pupils are always put first.  
> “I am concerned that pupils who had the potential to get an A\*, A or a B at the end of a two year course end up having to settle for a C. Too often this is because they take their exam early and are not re\-entered again. I want every child to reach their full potential in school. Early entry must only be for the minority of pupils who will benefit.“GCSEs are designed to be sat after two years of teaching, not one. These changes will ensure our young people access a broad and balanced curriculum, and focus in on what’s best for our children and young people.”
