5. SEV Update - Feedback General comments
Main focus on new units but not exclusively
Quite a few centres used the 2004 framework
Overall verification was very successful, but there were instances of deficiency

6. SEV Update - Feedback
Unit specifications, instruments of assessment and exemplification models
The transition to the new Business Graded Unit 1 was relatively seamless
Regularly check for changes to the specifications and the exemplar
Do not just focus on the exemplar

7. SEV Update - Feedback Evidence Requirements
A slight erring towards generosity in GU 1 in the A and B grades
Markers meeting to iron out issues and enhance consistency
Match the exemplar/assessment against the evidence requirements and record this in IV records

8. SEV Update - Feedback Administration of assessments
Most centres are ‘old hands’ at
Most centres use the exemplars
All assessments must go through internal verification
Record issues don’t hide them

9. SEV Update - Feedback Areas of good practice
Is old good practice still good practice?
Indicating border-line marks and discrepancies between markers
Recording issues in IV records
Detailed feedback and guidance

10. SEV Update – Importance of Internal Verification
Specific areas for improvement
Keep a close eye on the higher graded marks in GU 1
If reviewing examination scripts ensure security is maintained, and candidates will question marking. Best avoided with successful candidates
Marks or grades?
Look at the Unit specifications to check the requirements
Distinguish between remediation and reassessment (NOT for GU examinations)

11. SEV Update
Keep up the good work and remain alert
