Answer passage (source: UK):
page_title: Guidance Guidance for apprentices, employers, training providers, end-point assessment organisations (EPAOs) and external quality assurance providers about changes to apprenticeships due to coronavirus (COVID-19)
section_headers: Apprenticeship assessment frequently asked questions
What about the level 2 English and maths exit requirements for level 3 and higher apprenticeships?
section_content: This requirement applies to intermediate (level 2) apprentices only.
Apprentices undertaking a level 3 or higher apprenticeship are still required
to hold or achieve an approved level 2 English and maths qualification before
they can successfully complete their apprenticeship.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
The response is useful and somewhat clear. It would be more helpful if there were included links or a more complete explanation that was more specific.
This response doesn't really get around to answering the question about whether level 2 apprentices still have to take the test or not. It's mostly talking about level 3

What does this mean for the arrangement for gateway prior to EPA?
section_content: We want to make it as straightforward as possible to continue EPA. Lifting the
rule to take the test for intermediate (level 2) apprentices should help them
to progress to EPA during the coronavirus (COVID-19) disruption.
*[EPA]: end-point assessment

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
The response is clear and specific; however, I think the addition of links to help explain and give further information would be useful.
This is a good response. It is short but direct stating that they're lifting the rule to take the test for level 2 apprentices which answers the question exactly

What evidence do I need to provide to show the apprentice did not take the level 2 English and/or maths functional skills test before entering them for EPA?
section_content: You should add a dated note to the evidence pack for the apprentice explaining
that the test was not taken due to revised guidance during coronavirus
(COVID-19).

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
This response is saying to make note of the test not being taken for an apprentice but this doesn't really say whether or not its required for level 2 which is what the question is asking
While the response pertains to the information in question, it is only a partial response. It doesn't give a complete answer.
