Notes:
● Centres may start an examination earlier than, or later than, the published starting time for the session without prior approval from Edexcel. However, in order to

afternoon session no earlier than 1.00 p.m. and by 2.00 p.m., except where arrangements have been made for dealing with timetable clashes. No other departure from

refer to the JCQ publication ‘Instructions for Conducting Examinations’ in the first instance.
● Candidates who take an examination earlier than the published starting time shown on the timetable must remain under centre supervision until one hour after the
published starting time for that examination.
● Candidates who take an examination later than the published starting time shown on the timetable must remain under centre supervision from 30 minutes after the

● The papers for GCE Art Units 2 and 4 should be given to the teacher-examiner for reference as soon as they are received in the centre in order to prepare for the
preparatory supporting studies. This will provide the opportunity for centres to incorporate the Externally Set Assignment and the preparatory study period into their
course structure. There is no fixed period for the preparatory work. Centres are free to structure the supporting studies in any way they choose over the year.
However, the date chosen for the eight hour (AS) or twelve hour (A2) test must allow sufficient time for the work to be ready for external moderation between 4 May
2011 and 26 June 2011. If the work is to be sent to Edexcel for moderation it must be submitted no later than 1 June 2011.
● All units for GCE in Applied Art and Design are moderated by means of a centre visit from an Edexcel moderator. External assessment for GCE in Applied Art and

laboratory facilities by arranging for groups of candidates to undertake the Unit 2 listening element at different times are free to do so, as long as they adhere to the
following conditions:

should be free to move on to the other sections of the paper (reading and writing) in the language laboratory if they so wish.
● All papers should be taken in by the invigilators at the end of the 45 minutes and then re-distributed to candidates once they have been escorted to another
examination room.
● Candidates should not re-start their Unit 2 assessment until instructed to do so; but upon commencement candidates must be allocated the remaining time (1 hour 45
minutes).
● Candidates should be "quarantined" to ensure that they cannot talk to each other about the content of any aspect of the Unit 2 assessment.
● To facilitate assessment of the listening element centres are advised that as another alternative to candidates using individual CD listening devices, centres are also
able to download secure sound files to MP3 players.
● Centres requiring a visiting examiner for French units 6FR01 and 6FR03 Option B should contact Edexcel no later than 8 February 2011.
