Book Description: In the summer of 1993, the seven GCE Boards of England and Wales assessed the product of over five million hours of candidates' GCE AS and A-level examinations. Overall, in the sample inspected, they did so with a high degree of reliability and, in almost every case, appropriate standards were seen to be applied. Schools and colleges had prepared their students thoroughly. There are minor problems of comparability between Boards for some subjects and variations in procedures which need to be addressed.
