Regulating use of calculators in new GCSEs, AS and A levels

This document sets out proposed new rules for the use of calculators in new GCSEs, AS and A levels.

We are proposing to put in place rules which require exam boards to ensure that – if students use calculators in exams – the assessments remain fit for purpose.

These rules would replace our published subject-specific rules for new GCSEs in mathematics, and also cover all other subjects at GCSE, AS and A level where students can use calculators in exams.
