section_headers: What if students are unhappy with their calculated grade?
section_content: Ofqual and the exam boards are working to ensure that candidates are awarded a
fair grade that recognises the work they have put in. If an A level, AS level
or GCSE student does not believe the correct process has been followed in
their case, they will have access to a right of appeal on that basis. Ofqual
has consulted on the arrangements for these
appeals and announced its
decisions on 22 May. In addition,
if a student does not feel their grade reflects their performance, they will
have the opportunity to take an exam in the autumn. Ofqual launched a
consultation on 22 May on the details of the autumn series of
exams.
DfE has also published guidance on centre
responsibility for autumn GCSE, AS and A level exam
series.
Students will also have the option to take their exams in summer 2021, in line
with usual practice.

Answer passage (source: UK):
page_title: Guidance Coronavirus (COVID-19): cancellation of GCSEs, AS and A levels in 2020
section_headers: How will you ensure that certain groups of students (for example those from disadvantaged backgrounds) do not lose out because of bias in teachers’ assessments?
section_content: Ofqual is developing a fair and robust process that takes into account a broad
range of evidence, including assessments by schools and colleges of the grades
that students would have been likely to obtain if exams went ahead and their
prior attainment. Ofqual’s overriding aim is to make sure arrangements this
summer are as fair as possible for all students.
Ofqual ran a
consultation from 15 to 29 April
seeking views on aspects of their proposed assessment arrangements for GCSEs,
AS and A levels, including an equality impact assessment informed by a review
of the research literature on bias in teacher assessments.
Ofqual has taken feedback to its consultation, and the findings from its
literature review and equalities impact assessment, into account in finalising
the arrangements for these qualifications this summer. Decisions from this
consultation were published on 22
May. Ofqual has also published additional guidance for schools and colleges on
objectivity in grading and ranking.
Pupils who do not feel their calculated grade reflects their ability will have
the opportunity to sit an exam as soon as is reasonably possible in the
autumn.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
Can be improved by adding more then one option for a student to take to protest their calculated grade.
This answer fully relates to the question and fleshes out how exactly grades are calculated and how to petition if a student feels their grade is unfair.

section_headers: What will happen to those who have already done some non-exam assessment?
section_content: Students who were due to sit A level, AS level or GCSE exams this summer will
receive a calculated grade. The calculated grade process will take into
account a range of evidence including, for example, non-exam assessment and
mock results. To make sure that grades are fair between schools and colleges,
exam boards will put all centre assessment grades through a process of
standardisation using a model developed with Ofqual, the independent
qualifications regulator. There’s separate guidance from Ofqual on awarding
GCSE, AS and A levels which includes the implications for non-exam
assessment.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
Explains how the calculated process is done. Does not address what a student can do if not satified with their grade.
This answer does not help give information on where students can go to petition if they feel their grade is not correctly calculated.
