Dear A-level PE student - how to make your AQA PE exams a breeze!

If you are an AQA A-level PE student, it is in your interest to read this post. By way of an introduction, I am James Simms. I am a PE teacher and I have managed the biggest and most successful A-level PE programmes in the world. I am also a prolific online teacher and publisher specialising in academic PE. I have created TheEverLearner.com with the specific intent of supporting A-level PE students to perform better in exams. Within this article, I am aiming to provide you with 10 critical tips that will help you to achieve better in your AQA A-level PE exams this summer. You will notice that I am not including base concepts such as making an exam timetable, getting plenty of sleep and managing stress. Anyone can give you these suggestions. My 10 tips are specific to AQA A-level PE and, in most cases, will not be provided to you by other people. 

The 10 tips are not in priority order. Each will have greater and lesser meaning for each of you individually. Take your time with this post. Read it in sections if you need to but, most importantly, take action based on what is contained.

Before we get started, I am writing this post aimed primarily at students of AQA A-level PE. If you are an OCR A-level PE student, you can read the equivalent post for your course here . 🙂 Furthermore, I strongly recommend that you download the AQA A-level PE 2023 infographics. These are available here and are utterly free. 

My 10 top tips :

• Practise skills as much as you practise content.
• Over-learn common question types.
• Be prepared to explain why/how on every topic.
• Over-learn the most assessed topics but learn EVERYTHING well.
• Use these questions when revising every single topic.
• Complete the National Mock Exam and act on your diagnostic.
• Over-learn the structure of my model answers when I publish them in April.
• Learn the requirements for extended writing.
• Change the order in which you complete the papers.
• Take part in my pre-exam revision sessions in May.

OK, so without further ado, let's dive in.

 Top Tip #1: Practise skills as much as you practise content 

It is incredibly easy to view your A-level PE exams as content exams. You’re probably thinking about energy systems and learning theories, the impact of commercialisation on performers, etc. This is completely normal. However, I want to encourage you to think about this content in context so that when you are asked about energy systems, say, you can represent your knowledge in the best possible way. 

Your specification has assessment objectives. In essence, these are how you represent your knowledge. For all three mainstream courses, the assessment objectives can be summarised as follows:

Assessment Objective 1 : Knowledge and understanding of concepts. Assessment Objective 2 : Ability to link knowledge and understanding to examples. Assessment Objective 3 : Ability to evaluate and/or analyse concepts.

I am simplifying these requirements but, in all cases, these objectives are represented by types of questions (skills) in your exams. 

Let’s focus on AQA A-level PE Paper 1. On average, 71 out of the 105 marks available come from something other than just knowledge (AO1) (2018 onwards):

And this is represented by the typical commands that AQA provide within questions (2018 onwards):

“Analyse” (a broadly AO3 skill) is the most used command. After that, “Evaluate”, another AO3 command is very significant. In other words, we can establish not just what you might be asked but also how you might be asked it. This is a major advantage to an A-level PE student (you). If you are able to over-focus your preparations on analysis and evaluations, this will stand you in good stead assuming that you do not neglect the other skills, all of which are relevant too. 

 Top Tip #2: Over-learn common question types 

By reading tip #1, you probably already realise that I strongly believe in having full awareness of what to expect in your exams. With this in mind, I want to focus on question types. 

Once again, focusing on AQA paper 1 (average marks for all paper 1s since 2018), take a look below:

From this data, we can summarise that practising 15-mark and 8-mark questions would have a very significant impact when preparing for Paper 1. If we combine this with our awareness of the “Analyse” and “Evaluate” skills, for example, we can summarise further that practising 15-mark and 8-mark “Analyse” and “Evaluate” questions for Paper 1 would be worthwhile. Once again, we need to ensure that we practise all question types but the data analysis helps us to prioritise our time.

Now, let’s compare this to AQA Paper 2 (average marks for all paper 2s since 2018):

For Paper 2, the same trend emerges. 15 and 8-mark questions are the most critical practice that you, an AQA A-level PE student can do.

Now that you know this, how does this impact your preparations for each paper? What are you going to do differently as a result? If the answer is “Nothing”, you are under-preparing. Equally, if you tell me that you are only going to practise 15-mark “Analyse” questions for Paper 1, you are over-applying these principles. 

 Top tip #3: Be prepared to explain why/how on every topic 

It is essential that you learn your PE studies for meaning. Being able to define or identify is not enough. You must be able to explain why and explain how something happens. Get in the habit of expecting this from your teacher too. Asking them questions (see below) such as “Sir, why is that the case?” or “Miss, could you tell me how that happens?” is essential and you should do this relentlessly. Your teacher will typically provide you with these explanations without you asking but if you feel unsure or, perhaps, the explanation needs to be provided again, make a point of asking this question.  

Another thing that I recommend that you get in the habit of is demonstrating that you can explain things. Once you have learned a concept, ask a peer, your teacher or a parent if you can explain it to them. If they understand it too, your explanation is likely to be strong.

Take this example:

This is the statement of a fact. In other words, it is knowledge (AO1) but we want to elevate it to the level of understanding. Here’s my explanation of how this happens:

It might not seem like much but I am taking my knowledge further. I am stating how. 

Now consider me providing you with an explanation without the concept being named. Can you tell me what I am explaining?

I am ensuring that I understand the concept. This is what you must ensure too. If you achieve it, other skills such as making examples or even evaluating become far easier. 

 Top tip #4: Over-learn the most assessed topics but learn EVERYTHING well 

Trying to predict an exam is a dangerous game and what I write below is certainly not an attempt to achieve that. However, data trends do inform us of areas of priority. Take a look at the most assessed topics across Papers 1 and 2:

Total marks for all Paper 1s since 2018

Let’s use the example of Paper 1 and focus on types of practice. We know that types of practice has accrued 23 marks over five papers (2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022). We also know that types of practice have appeared on all but one paper (2019) since 2018:

Furthermore, we also know what has been asked in each of these cycles:

So, would you agree with me that establishing an outstanding understanding of types of practice is a good use of your exam preparation time? Would you agree with me that types of practice is a possibility for an extended-writing piece? Would you agree with me that types of practice can be questioned using AO1, AO2 and AO3 skills? Hopefully, your answers to these questions are “Yes” and you can make informed decisions on how to prepare your knowledge of this topic in preparation for the summer Paper 2 exam. 

IMPORTANT : It is my responsibility to tell you categorically that revising only some material for your exams is a very bad idea. Look back at the title of this section. It says: Top tip #4: Over-learn the most assessed topics but learn EVERYTHING well. Ensure that this is exactly what you do.

 Top tip #5: Use these questions when revising every single topic 

You have already read about the need to be able to “explain why” and “explain how” but we can take this further. Your A-level PE exams are skill papers just as much as they are content papers. Therefore, “thinking about” each topic with the following prompts in mind will help you. Typically it is me (a classroom teacher) asking these questions to my students but, as you will probably be revising alone, you can ask them of yourself. If you are a teacher, ask these questions of your students throughout their study:

• Define X precisely.
• Explain to me exactly how X happens.
• Explain to me exactly why X happens.
• Explain to me exactly why X is important to a performer of your choice.
• Convince me that X is true.
• Can X be broken down into segments/sections? If so, what are they?
• Can X be broken down into phases? If so, what are they?
• Describe the data trend to me from the table. Use specific values to support your answer.
• Describe the data trend to me from the graph. Reference the title, axes and data points from the graph to support your answer.
• Tell me how X and Y are different.
• Tell me how X and Y are similar.
• Is X definitely true? Has anyone ever argued X differently?
• Tell me why you broadly agree/disagree with this statement about X.
• Now you have the facts, tell me the other side of the story. When is X different from how we have learned it?
• Criticise X. Find everything that is wrong with X.
• Regardless of your own opinion of X, tell me why someone would agree/disagree with X.
• Based on your opinion of X, tell me what evidence you would need to receive to change your opinion about X.

Now, I could go on and on and on. My students, all of whom I am going to ask to read this article, will be familiar with these questions. Give or take, they are the only questions/prompts that I use when teaching. If you are a teacher, I want you to notice that I am putting agency in the hands of students. I also want you to notice that these are skill questions. I ask them because they focus on the relevant skills of A-level PE learning via A-level PE content.

Teachers who are interested in this type of questioning should definitely read my series on classroom questioning techniques. I currently have three articles on this and you can find them here:

• Questioning Techniques Part 1
• Questioning Techniques Part 2
• Questioning Techniques Part 3

 Top tip #6: Complete the National Mock Exam and act on your diagnostic 

Many of the ideas from above are best expressed if you take the National Mock Exam for your course. The National Mock Exam is all of the following:

• An exact replica of the exam-board requirements for your course.
• Based on the data trends that you can access here .
• Completely unseen questions and mark schemes.
• Utterly free to everyone that wishes to use it.

The National Mock Exam will give you a true flavour of your exams. We anticipate that well over 50% of all the students sitting PE exams in 2023 will use the mock exams, so make sure you are one of them. Otherwise, you may be disadvantaged compared to others.

Furthermore, if you complete the National Mock Exam under assessment conditions, you can use it to achieve a diagnostic on your performance. The idea of the diagnostic is to give you specific foci for both content and skills. Take a look at the example below:

You will notice that acting on the diagnostic can be as easy as clicking a button but, even if you are not enrolled on TheEverLearner.com, the knowledge that you are stronger and weaker on specific skills and knowledge is very helpful. 

 Top tip #7: Over-learn the structure of my model answers when I publish them in April 

In April 2023, I will be publishing model answers for all of the questions contained in the mock exam papers. I have a simple message for you: LEARN THEM! I want to be clear, I am not just asking you to read the model answers but to learn them, if necessary, by heart.

When I write model answers for students, I am aiming to provide them with world-class responses to specific questions. If you remember from the points above that my mock exam papers are written with the exact data trends of your exam board in mind, learning the model answers is a very good use of your time and could have a significant impact on the quality of your own exam performance in the summer.

Remember that my mock exams, model answers and even revision sessions are utterly free, so this doesn't cost you a penny. 

I will include below an example of a model answer from 2022. This is just for guidance and to give you an insight into what to expect in April 2023.

Example from my model answers AQA A-level PE Paper 1 2022.

 Top tip #8: Learn the requirements for extended writing 

Every A-level PE paper includes the need for extended writing. You will be writing essays in your exams. I have produced specific guidance on how to format your model answers but, beyond this, I strongly recommend that you are fully aware of the history of extended writing requirements for your exams. Take a look below:

AQA Paper 1 Extended Writing 8-mark questions.

What summary can we make of this table? We certainly know the following:

• You will write three eight-mark responses for Paper 1.
• It is most likely that you will be asked to “Evaluate” or “Analyse” but “Evaluate” is most common.
• You will be required to cover two topics for some of your eight-mark responses.

AQA Paper 1 Extended Writing 15-mark questions

• You will write three 15-mark responses for Paper 1.
• It is most likely that you will be asked to “Analyse” or “Evaluate” but “Analyse” is most common.
• You will be required to cover two topics for some of your 15-mark responses and these questions will be synoptic.

AQA Paper 2 Extended Writing 8-mark questions.

• You will write three eight-mark responses for Paper 2.
• It is most likely that you will be asked to “Evaluate” or “Analyse” and these commands are equally common.

AQA Paper 2 Extended Writing 15-mark questions.

• You will write three 15-mark responses for Paper 2.
• You will be required to cover two topics for many of your 15-mark responses and these questions will be synoptic.

So, all in all, monitoring these trends gives us an excellent insight into how to prepare for extended writing. 

 Top tip #9: Change the order in which you complete the papers 

In general, students start answering their exam papers at question 1 and end it by answering the extended-writing question. I recommend that you change this.

I want to be clear here: you have complete choice about whether you do this but here is my recommendation:

• Invigilator tells you to start.
• Turn straight to eight and 15-mark questions for each section. Spend a few moments considering these extended writing pieces and what they are asking of you.
• Return to the front of the paper and now spend 2-3 minutes reading each question in turn without answering them.
• Return to the front of the paper and answer question 1. Continue until the end of the paper.
• As you write your shorter-answer responses it is likely that your mind will process the other questions on the paper, including the extended writing. You may recall definitions or facts or even ideas about examples. You should have some extra exam paper (ask for this from the invigilator) next to you. Note down all of your ideas there so that when you arrive at the extended-writing question you already have some ideas recorded.

I would like to think that at the start of every A-level PE exam in every school, every A-level PE student will be asking for extra paper. You should do this as it is good practice. Whilst this might annoy a few invigilators, it will be a sign of students en masse doing things the right way. 

 Top tip #10: Take part in my pre-exam revision sessions in May 

To finish this off, I want to keep things very simple. In April and May 2023, you can take part in a series of online revision sessions with me. Full details can be found here . 

Every session guarantees you the following:

• Exam infographics.
• Downloadable notes booklet.
• Mock exam to practise or review.
• Mock exam mark scheme to self-mark your writing.
• Mock exam model answers.
• Live and recorded session of me teaching both the content and the skills of your course.

So that you have an idea, you can see here last year’s sessions . Best of all, this service is outright free. You do not need to spend one penny in order to take part in 100% of this service. There are no catches, folks, so please be confident. My team and I are simply trying to get the best resources possible into the hands of the students that need them at exactly the right time. 

Thank you for reading this post. Please leave a comment if you have a question about anything that is contained.

How can you study A-level Physical Education online?

That’s the first question we asked before we decided to become the UK’s first provider to offer this online course. We knew we could unlock the potential for thousands of students who want to study A-level PE online.

Most of this course focuses on physical education theory, which is key to success. Our carefully curated course content, developed by subject specialist experts in their field, covers the knowledge you will need to pass your exams. It covers physical education’s scientific, anatomical, psychological, and social principles.

PE Practical

As you would expect with a PE course, there’s a physical element. The physical requirement is in the coursework element of the course, also known as your Non-Examined Assessment (NEA). You’ll need to participate in physical activity as either a participant or a coach, and this activity will be recorded as evidence for your coursework. This will all take place remotely and be submitted via video so you can do your physical activity locally to you. Your course materials will outline how to do this and what to cover in your recordings. We will be on hand to support you throughout.

This is a brand new course, and you can enrol today. It will be available in your MyOxbridge portal on 2nd September 2024. The first exam date for this course will be in 2026.

What you will learn

Unit 1: applied anatomy and physiology.

In this topic, you will understand the anatomical/structural and physiological/functional roles performed in the identified systems of the body. You will understand how the controlled stress of exercise will affect the systems and how the effect is measured. The topic will cover how different stresses/types of exercise will bring about both acute responses and chronic adaptations. The principles of Newton’s Three Laws of Motion – force, centre of mass and stability – will also be covered and are essential to a student’s understanding of how sporting technique and performance can be improved. You will understand energy concepts and how they relate to physical activity and sport.

Unit 2: Exercise physiology and applied movement analysis

In this unit, you will understand the importance of diet and nutrition pre-, during and post-physical activity. You will also study fatigue and recovery, which will build on your knowledge of energy systems in Topic 1: Applied Anatomy and Physiology.  You will gain an understanding of how to apply knowledge of energy systems and how to train, maintain and improve your performance. This includes an understanding of fitness components, methods of training and physiological adaptations. You will also understand how to prevent and rehabilitate from injury. You will be able to demonstrate an understanding of movement analysis through examples to include linear motion, angular motion, projectile motion and fluid mechanics.

Unit 3: Skill acquisition

In this unit you are required to show an understanding of the nature and development of skills in sport. This understanding could be enhanced and developed through applied practical experiences in the role of either coach and/or performer. You should have an awareness of the relevant learning theories and how they relate to skill development. At A Level, you will develop a detailed appreciation of the role of memory systems in the acquisition of skills. You can relate knowledge of practices, feedback and guidance to practical performance situations. You will be able to understand how quantitative data can be generated in appropriate areas of skill acquisition and be able to produce and evaluate the meaning of such data.

Unit 4: Sport psychology

You will understand the role of sports psychology  in facilitating optimal sporting performance of an individual athlete, sports teams and individuals in the teams. You will understand the different psychological views, theories and perspectives, as indicated in the specification, and be able to apply this understanding by way of explanation to behaviours that ultimately affect sporting performance. Central to this topic will be the ongoing debate offering explanations between either nature or nurture or the interaction of both. You will look at the theories and then apply the different interpretations of each to the different situations and scenarios identified. You will be able to demonstrate both support for and challenge to a given theory or perspective and provide sporting examples to support this view.

Unit 5: Sport and society

You will understand the dynamic relationship between sport and society. You will understand the parallels between societal changes and sport and will utilise this knowledge and understanding to consider historical and contemporary events and trends and potential future developments. You will understand how, as society developed and became increasingly commercial and political, these phenomena were reflected in sports. You will understand the context of varying ethics, and pressures on performers to cheat and consider a range of factors that influence deviance and the response of national and international organisations. You will understand the relationship between media and sport and the role of social media.

Duration of Anticoagulation Post-PE: Things to Consider

Expert analysis.

Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a common medical condition affecting over 250,000 patients in the United States each year. 1 For those patients diagnosed with PE in whom therapeutic anticoagulation is deemed appropriate, current guidelines recommend an initial treatment period of 3 months. 2 However, extending the duration of anticoagulation beyond this initial period requires careful consideration of multiple factors.

Identifying Provoked vs. Unprovoked PE

Identifying patients who may benefit from extended anticoagulation requires a careful history that permits clinicians to classify a PE as either provoked or unprovoked . Provoking conditions can be then classified into transient and persistent risk factors (Table 1). 3 This classification is vital because it is the key driver in determining risk of recurrence. Of note, history of long-distance travel is a question commonly asked of those patients presenting with PE; however, only flights with a duration greater than 12 hours have been associated with increased incidence of venous thromboembolism (VTE). 4

Table 1: Provoked and Unprovoked Conditions Related to VTE

Current guidelines recommend patients with provoked PE or those with transient risk factors, such as major surgery or immobilization, be treated for a duration of 3 months. This is driven by the fact that the risk for recurrent VTE in these patients is 1% in the first year after stopping anticoagulation and 0.5% per year after. 2 As long as patients with provoked PE return to their pre-PE baseline, anticoagulation can be stopped after this initial 3-month treatment. Conversely, indefinite anticoagulation is recommended in those patients with unprovoked PE or persistent risk factors. In those with unprovoked PE who elect to stop indefinite anticoagulation, the risk for recurrent VTE is 10% in the first year after stopping anticoagulation and 5% per year after. 2 Although indefinite treatment is recommended in these patients, it is important to reassess the risks and benefits of ongoing anticoagulation at regular intervals.

Special Patient Populations

Consistent with therapeutic anticoagulation for other disease processes, the benefit of treatment must be weighed against the risk of bleeding. As discussed above, the benefit of anticoagulation is directly related to the risk of recurrence of PE, and patients with unprovoked VTE are at high risk for recurrence if anticoagulation is stopped. Though not necessary for most patients, several tools including the HERDOO2 rule, DASH prediction score, and Vienna Prediction Model have been proposed to better quantify the risk of recurrent VTE after stopping anticoagulation in those patients with unprovoked VTE (Table 2). Male sex and an elevated D-dimer either during or just after discontinuing therapeutic anticoagulation is associated with a higher risk of recurrent VTE (>5% per year) and merit ongoing treatment. 5-10

Table 2: Risk Assessment Tools for VTE Recurrence

The risk for bleeding complications while on anticoagulation should be considered in all patients who are recommended indefinite anticoagulation. There are several validated tools that can be used to assess bleeding risk; however, many were developed by analyzing patients with atrial fibrillation on warfarin. Thus, these tools may not accurately reflect bleeding risk in patients with VTE or in whom a direct oral anticoagulant is used. 11 For those patients deemed to have a high bleeding risk (Table 3) and unprovoked PE or persistent risk factors, current guidelines recommend against extended therapy. 2 However, the decision to continue anticoagulation in patients with unprovoked PE and moderate or low risk of bleeding requires further analysis and discussion of the patient's values.

Table 3: Risk Factors for Bleeding With Anticoagulation and Estimated Risk of Bleeding 2

Given its role as a persistent risk factor, patients with active cancer are also recommended to continue indefinite anticoagulation. 3,12 Current data favor low-molecular-weight heparin over vitamin K antagonists; 13 however, ongoing studies are analyzing the safety and efficacy of direct oral anticoagulants in this patient population.

Finally, patients presenting with persistent unexplained dyspnea or exercise intolerance 6 months after a PE merit ongoing anticoagulation while additional workup is undertaken. Although these symptoms can be related to underlying comorbidities, patients should be assessed for the presence of new onset pulmonary vascular disease and chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension because these disease processes not only increase the risk for recurrent VTE but can also be more effectively managed if identified early on. 14

Alternate Treatment Strategies

Current guidelines indicate that the choice of anticoagulant in the early phase of treatment can be continued for extended therapy. However, there are alternate medication and dosing options available to patients who require indefinite anticoagulation. In appropriate patient populations, such as those without active cancer or renal insufficiency, direct-acting oral anticoagulants can be considered for extended therapy given the relative reduction in bleeding risk over vitamin K antagonists. 2 Additionally, the AMPLIFY-EXT (Apixaban After the Initial Management of Pulmonary Embolism and Deep Vein Thrombosis With First-Line Therapy–Extended Treatment) trial and EINSTEIN-CHOICE (Reduced-Dosed Rivaroxaban in the Long-Term Prevention of Recurrent Symptomatic Venous Thromboembolism) trial showed comparable rates of VTE recurrence between higher and lower doses of apixaban (5 mg vs. 2.5 mg) and rivaroxaban (20 mg vs. 10 mg), respectively, suggesting lower-dose options can also be considered. 15,16 If patients with unprovoked PE elect to discontinue anticoagulant treatment entirely, the use of aspirin 81 mg daily may be benefical in reducing major vascular events by about one-third compared with placebo, but aspirin does not reduce the recurrence of PE. 17 Thus, it is important to counsel patients that the use of oral anticoagulants versus aspirin alone reduces the risk of recurrent VTE by approximately 81-92%. 18,19

Follow-Up After Discontinuation of Anticoagulation

For many patients, the decision to stop anticoagulation after the initial treatment course is dictated by concerns regarding anticoagulation and its interference in their daily lives. If a patient with an unprovoked PE and thus higher risk for recurrence elects to discontinue anticoagulation, routine follow-up and serial D-dimer testing at 2-3 weeks and then again at 1-2 months after stopping treatment are recommended. Those patients with elevated D-dimer on follow-up testing should be advised of the ongoing risk of VTE recurrence off anticoagulation. Among patients with elevated D-dimer levels after initial anticoagulation, those who discontinue anticoagulation have an increased hazard ratio for VTE recurrence of 2.27 (95% confidence interval, 1.15-4.46; p = 0.02) compared with those who continued anticoagulation. 19 Additionally, although the presence of a hypercoagulable disorder such as antiphospholipid antibody syndrome, protein C deficiency, or protein S deficiency does not significantly increase the already high risk of recurrence in patients with unprovoked VTE, it is reasonable to test for these disorders during the period after discontinuing anticoagulation so as to best inform the patient's decision. 21

• Patients diagnosed with PE who are deemed appropriate candidates for therapeutic anticoagulation should be treated for an initial period of 3 months.
• In general, those patients with unprovoked PE or those with persistent risk factors should be considered for indefinite anticoagulation with routine follow-up to assess ongoing benefit.
• Validated tools exist to quantify risk of recurrent VTE and may be helpful in patients with unprovoked PE who have an intermediate bleeding risk or in those who choose to discontinue anticoagulation.
• Serial D-dimer testing is a useful tool to detect recurrence and inform the decision to restart anticoagulation after the initial 3-month period in patients with unprovoked PE.
• Patients with unexplained persistent dyspnea or exercise intolerance merit ongoing anticoagulation while undergoing workup for new onset pulmonary vascular disease such as chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension.

• How to Make Your Coursework as Good as It Can Possibly Be

Many GCSE and A-level subjects are assessed in part by coursework in addition to exams, meaning that the mark you receive for coursework contributes to your overall grade. Many students prefer coursework, because it’s a chance to showcase your academic abilities away from the high-pressured environment of the exam room, making it ideal for those who don’t perform to the best of their abilities in exams. However, the time you have available for coursework, in contrast with the time constraints of the exam room, can lull some students into a false sense of security. Coursework is arguably just as challenging as exams, just in different ways – and, given the fact that you have more time, much higher standards are expected of you in coursework than in exams. Careful planning and research are needed for successful coursework, as well as strong data-gathering and essay-writing skills. In this article, we look at how to produce excellent coursework, from planning to proofreading. This information might also be useful to you if you’re planning on attending an Oxford Summer School this summer.

What is coursework?

GCSE and A-level coursework typically takes the form of an extended essay or project. Its objectives vary from one subject to another, but there’s usually an emphasis on the student conducting independent research into a topic of their own choice. Thus coursework often takes the form of some sort of investigation; it may, therefore, help to have your ‘detective’ hat on as you explore, investigate and analyse your topic. You can usually work on your coursework at home, though it’s sometimes completed under controlled conditions through sessions at school. To give you a better idea of how coursework varies from one subject to another, here are some examples:

• English – English coursework usually takes the form of an extended essay with a title of your choice. You’re usually given a choice of themes and/or texts to explore, and you could choose a format such as a comparison between a set text and another one.
• Geography – Geography coursework usually focuses on the gathering, reporting and interpretation of data designed to answer a particular geographical question. You could investigate usage of a shopping centre, for example, or look at erosion on a particular beach.
• Sciences – coursework for science subjects often takes the form of a scientific project or experiment that you conduct and report on yourself.

Before you start work on your coursework, it’s essential that you have a thorough understanding of the rules. Failing to conform to the rules – inadvertently or not – may result in your coursework (or possibly even your entire qualification) being disqualified, so it’s a serious matter.

• No plagiarism – this is particularly dangerous given the ready availability of relevant information on the internet these days. Make sure everything is in your own words; you’ll need to sign a declaration stating that it’s your own original work.
• There’s only so much help your teacher can give you . They can provide guidance on what you need to include, and on what the examiners will be looking for. You can ask them questions, but they’ll usually only be able to check through your first draft once and offer broad hints on updating it.
• Check the word count , and stick to it. Find out whether footnotes, appendices and bibliographies are included in the word count.
• Check what topics you’re allowed to do your coursework on; if there’s an exam on this topic, you’ll almost certainly have to choose a different one for your coursework.

Choose your topic wisely

Ideally, choose something you’re genuinely interested in, as your enthusiasm will come across and you’ll find it more enjoyable to write. If there’s something you’ve been working on for the course so far that you’ve particularly enjoyed, you may be able to focus more on this as part of your coursework. For science coursework, you’ll need to choose something to investigate that you can measure, change and control; it should be what’s called a ‘fair test’, meaning that you have to acknowledge all the controls you use in the experiment and why. Try not to pick a topic for which the scope is too vast, as you’ll struggle to research it properly and you’re unlikely to do it justice, and it’ll be hard to keep within the word limit. Ask your teachers for some guidance on choosing your topic if you’re not sure what to write about; they might even tell you a bit about what previous students have done to give you some inspiration.

Plan how long it’s going to take

Never leave your coursework until the last minute, even if this is your normal approach to essays and it usually works for you. Make sure you understand when the deadlines are, including time for submitting a first draft for comments from your teacher. Then schedule blocks of time for working on it, allowing plenty of time before the deadline to cater for any unexpected delays. Allow ample time for making corrections based on teacher feedback on your first draft, and keep some time aside before the deadline for final editing and proofreading. Because actual deadlines are few and far between, you’ll need to take responsibility for the writing process and impose some deadlines on yourself to ensure it’s finished in time. Write down your deadlines on a calendar, with the coursework broken into stages and dates assigned to each, by which time each task should be complete. You can base your stages on the next few points in this article – research and data gathering, a structure plan for the piece of work, writing up, and so on.

Conducting your research and gathering data

As coursework is primarily a research exercise, the research phase is crucial, so don’t be tempted to skimp on it and go straight to writing up. Use as many different resources as you can to gather data: books, journals, newspapers, television, radio, the internet and anything else you think might be relevant. For science and Geography coursework, you’ll need to base your work on a hypothesis, so the research stage should start by coming up with at least one hypothesis, otherwise your research will lack direction. The research phase for some subjects may involve site visits for gathering data, so allow plenty of time for this, particularly if you need your parents to drive you somewhere to do so. If it’s a scientific experiment you’re conducting for your coursework, you’ll need to pay careful attention to planning the experiment using rigorous scientific methods (also noting what Health and Safety precautions you are taking), as well as reading up on the background and theory so that you have an idea of what to expect from the outcome of your experiment. In the research stage, make notes about what you expect to happen, so that you can later compare your expectations with what actually did happen. The experiment itself also forms part of the research and data-gathering stage for your science coursework; in the write-up stage, which we come onto shortly, you analyse and write up the results.

Plan your structure

Once you’ve completed your research, the process of writing up begins. Before you get down to the actual writing, however, it’s advisable to write a plan for how you’re going to structure it – essentially an essay plan for English coursework and other subjects for which the coursework is based on an extended essay. It’ll look slightly different from an essay plan for science subjects and others that revolve around project work, but the principle is the same: plan out what order you’re going to present your information in. For big projects, this is particularly important, because with a lot of information to convey, you risk being disorganised and waffling.

Writing up your project

For any coursework, but particularly coursework based around an extended essay, you’ll need to perfect your essay-writing abilities. For science coursework, writing up your project also involves data analysis, as you interpret the results of your experiment and work your notes into formal scientific language.

When you’re writing up, it’s important to find a place where you can work quietly, without distractions that could cause you to make careless errors. You wouldn’t want noise or distractions when you were in an exam room, so treat your coursework with the same reverence.

Supporting materials and images

For some subjects, namely the sciences and Geography, it would be appropriate to include images, graphs, charts, tables and so on in your coursework. For example, for Geography coursework, your extra material could include annotated images and maps of the site you’re talking about, plus tables, graphs and charts. An appendix could then detail your raw data; if, for example, your coursework focused on the results of a survey, you could put the raw survey responses in an appendix and provide summaries and analysis in the main body of the coursework.

Footnotes and bibliography

As we said earlier, it’s important that you always use your own words in your coursework to avoid the possibility of falling foul of plagiarism rules. However, it’s acceptable to quote from another source, as you would in any piece of academic writing, but you must make sure that you state where it is from and use quotation marks to show that it’s a quote from somewhere else. The best way of citing another work is to use a footnote; word processors will allow you to insert one, and it just puts a little number at the end of the sentence and another in the footer of the document, into which you put the name of the author and work, and the page within that work that the quote can be found. At the end of your piece of work, include a bibliography that includes a list of every external source you’ve used in the creation of your coursework. Stick to a set formula when including books. A common format is: Author Surname, Initial. (Date) – Title of Book , page number For example: Lewis, C.S. (1960) – Studies in Words , p. 45 When you get to university, you’ll be expected to include footnotes and bibliographies in all your essays, so it’s a good habit to get into and coursework gives you good practice at it.

The final pre-submission check

Having completed a first draft, received feedback from your teacher, and honed your work into a finished piece of coursework, have a final check through it before you send off your coursework for submission.

• Sense check : have a read through your completed piece of work and check that it all makes sense. Make sure you haven’t contradicted yourself anywhere, or repeated yourself, or laboured the point. If there are any facts that you may have meant to look up to double check their accuracy, do so now.
• Word count : ensure that the completed work falls within the word count, and double check whether the bibliography should be included in the word count. If you’ve exceeded it, you’ll need to work through the piece and tighten up your writing, omitting unnecessary information, reordering sentences so that they use fewer words, and so on.
• Proofread : check your spelling and grammar, and ensure that there are no typos. Don’t just use the spellcheck – go through it with a fine toothcomb, manually, and if you can, ask someone to read through it for you to see if they spot anything you haven’t.
• Formatting : check that you’ve included page numbers, and that the font and line spacing is consistent throughout the work. Ensure that the font is plain and easy to read, such as Arial or Times New Roman.
• Bibliography : check that you’ve included everything, that the format is the same for all sources mentioned, and that the right information is included for each.

Once this stage is complete, you’re ready to submit your coursework along with your declaration that it’s entirely your own work. Get ready for a feeling of immense satisfaction when you finally send off your hard work!

• Scheme of assessment

Non-exam assessment administration

• General administration

The non-exam assessment (NEA) for this specification is split into two strands: a practical performance, and an analysis and evaluation of a performance .

Visit aqa.org.uk/7582 for detailed information about all aspects of NEA administration.

The head of the school or college is responsible for making sure that NEA is conducted in line with our instructions and Joint Council for Qualifications (JCQ) instructions.

Supervising and authenticating

To meet Ofqual’s qualification level conditions and requirements:

• students must sign the Candidate record form (CRF) to confirm that the work submitted is their own
• all teachers who have marked a student’s work must sign the declaration of authentication on the CRF. This is to confirm that the work is solely that of the student concerned and was conducted under the conditions laid down by this specification
• teachers must ensure that a CRF is provided with each student’s work.

Teachers must ensure there is sufficient direct supervision so the work submitted can be confidently authenticated as belonging to the student concerned. Further guidance on supervising and authenticating student work for the performance assessment (practical performance) and the performance analysis assessment (analysis and evaluation) aspects of NEA is provided below.

If a student receives additional assistance which is acceptable within the guidelines for this specification, you should award a mark that represents the student’s unaided achievement. You must record the support the student received on the CRF and sign the authentication statement. If the statement is not signed, there is no evidence that the work has been properly authenticated and AQA will set the associated marks to zero.

Performance assessment

Where practical performances have been carried out within the school/college, students must be under direct supervision and the work must be marked by the teacher. The teacher can then be confident the performances are authentic.

Work may be completed outside of school/college without direct supervision for offsite activities and/or activities that cannot be replicated live at moderation. Where an assessed activity has been performed outside of school/college (see Moderation for more detail) an audiovisual recording of that performance must be made. To identify the performance, the student must provide the following information at the start of the recording:

• five digit centre number
• candidate number
• candidate name
• component code

To ensure the authenticity of the performance, the student’s face must be clearly visible at the start of the recording. If the activity involves multiple competitors, eg team games, the student must stipulate how they can be identified on the recording, eg by a coloured bib or a shirt number. This ensures the teacher can be confident the performance on the recording is authentic and is by the student. The teacher must use this evidence to mark the student in that activity.

Performance analysis assessment (analysis and evaluation)

Students don’t need to be supervised at all times when completing this work. Work may be completed outside of school/college without direct supervision, provided the teacher is confident the work produced is the student’s own and marks the student’s work. Teachers must be sufficiently familiar with the student’s general standard to judge whether the piece of work submitted is within his/her capabilities. Familiarity with the student’s general standard will be obtained over the duration of the course of study.

Where this work has been carried out in written format, students must insert the following details on each page of work as a header or footer:

• component code.

Where this work has been carried out in verbal format and been evidenced via an audiovisual recording (see Moderation for more detail), the student must provide the following information at the start of the recording:

To ensure authenticity of the work, the student’s face must be clearly visible throughout the recording. This is to ensure the teacher can be confident the performance on the recording is authentic and that of the student.

Avoiding malpractice

Please inform your students of the AQA regulations concerning malpractice. They must not:

• submit work that is not their own
• lend work to other students
• allow other students access to, or use of, their own independently-sourced source material
• include work copied directly from books, the internet or other sources without acknowledgement
• submit work that is word-processed by a third person without acknowledgement
• include inappropriate, offensive or obscene material.

These actions constitute malpractice and a penalty will be given (for example, disqualification).

If you identify malpractice before the student signs the declaration of authentication, you don’t need to report it to us. Please deal with it in accordance with your school or college’s internal procedures. We expect schools and colleges to treat such cases very seriously.

If you identify malpractice after the student has signed the declaration of authentication, the head of your school or college must submit full details of the case to us at the earliest opportunity. Please complete the form JCQ/M1 , available from the JCQ website at jcq.org.uk

You must record details of any work which is not the student’s own on the front of the (CRF).

You should consult your exams officer about these procedures.

Teacher standardisation

We will provide support for using the marking criteria and developing appropriate tasks through teacher standardisation.

For further information about teacher standardisation visit our website at aqa.org.uk/7582

In the following situations teacher standardisation is essential. We will send you an invitation to complete teacher standardisation if:

• moderation from the previous year indicates a serious misinterpretation of the requirements
• a significant adjustment was made to the marks in the previous year
• your school or college is new to this specification.

For further support and advice please speak to your adviser. Email your subject team at [email protected] for details of your adviser.

Internal standardisation

You must ensure that you have consistent marking standards for all students. One person must manage this process and they must sign the Centre declaration sheet to confirm that internal standardisation has taken place.

Internal standardisation may involve:

• all teachers marking some sample pieces of work to identify differences in marking standards
• discussing any differences in marking at a training meeting for all teachers involved
• referring to reference and archive material, such as previous work or examples from our teacher standardisation.

To meet Ofqual’s qualification and subject criteria, you must show clearly how marks have been awarded against the assessment criteria in this specification.

Your comments will help the moderator see, as precisely as possible, where you think the students have met the assessment criteria.

You must record your comments on the Candidate record form .

Submitting marks

You must check that the correct marks are written on the Candidate record form and that the total is correct.

The deadline for submitting the total mark for each student is given at aqa.org.uk/keydates

Factors affecting individual students

Occasional absence: you should be able to accept the occasional absence of students by making sure that they have the chance to make up what they have missed. You may organise an alternative supervised session for students who were absent at the time you originally arranged.

Students not available for moderation: where a student that has been requested to form part of the moderation sample is unavailable for the moderation visit, then the moderator will select an alternative student to make up the sample. The school/college must ensure that the replacement student is available for moderation. This will be in the form of a live performance as part of the visit or through audiovisual evidence. If it is via audiovisual evidence, the school/college must ensure that this evidence is available on the moderation day. The replacement student must have the same mark (or a mark as close as possible to the same mark), as the student originally selected in the sample.

Short term and long term injury: where students are injured for a short period of time, then after they have recovered they should make up what they have missed. If the student is suffering a long term injury, then either audiovisual evidence for the performance can be provided, if available and if it meets the authenticity requirements OR the student can be assessed as a coach in their chosen activity. If there is no audiovisual evidence available, the school can apply for special consideration through AQA. In these circumstances students must complete a minimum of 50% of the overall assessment for the qualification and all of the assessment objectives in the NEA must be covered.

Lost work: if work is lost you must tell us how and when it was lost and who was responsible, using our special consideration online service at aqa.org.uk/eaqa

Special help: where students need special help which goes beyond normal learning support, please use the CRF to tell us so that this help can be taken into account during moderation.

Students who move schools: students who move from one school or college to another during the course sometimes need additional help to meet the requirements. How you deal with this depends on when the move takes place. If it happens early in the course, the new school or college should be responsible for the work. If it happens late in the course, it may be possible to arrange for the moderator to assess the work as a student who was ‘Educated Elsewhere’.

For advice and guidance about arrangements for any of your students, please email us as early as possible at [email protected]

Keeping students' work

Students’ work must be kept under secure conditions from the time that it is marked, with completed CRF. After the moderation period and the deadline for Enquiries about Results (or once any enquiry is resolved) you may return the work to students.

Performance assessment (practical performance) will be moderated by visiting moderation. The performance analysis assessment will be moderated by post. This will be after the deadline date for submission of marks for all assessments. An indication of the timeline for moderation can be found at aqa.org.uk in a document entitled Teaching guide: NEA .

Performance assessment (practical performance)

At the moderation visit, the moderator will see a sample of student performances. The sample will be made up of students across a range of marks and across a range of activities offered within a school/college and will be selected by the moderator. Schools will send the marks for all of their students, to the moderator no later than two weeks prior to the arranged visit. This can be done electronically via email or in hard copy through the post. The moderator will use these marks to select a representative sample. The criteria that the moderator will apply when selecting the sample are:

• the top scoring student overall
• the lowest (non-zero) scoring student overall, in their best area of assessment
• a number of students across a range of marks in between
• in the roles offered
• and across a range of activities.

Moderators will only see students that form part of the sample in one area of assessment for the purposes of moderation. Ensuring this spread of marks within the sample, across a range of activities, will be the driver behind sampling decisions.

It is the responsibility of the school/college to ensure that the visit is appropriately organised in such a way that students have every opportunity to replicate the level of performance at the time when the mark was awarded by the teacher (students’ performances should be marked at a level at which they can perform consistently, so that replication of that level of performance at moderation is realistic). Performances at moderation must clearly show how the student gained the marks awarded by the teacher.

It is the responsibility of the school/college to ensure that an audiovisual recording is made of the performances evidenced at the moderation visit. They must ensure that the footage is clear and of sufficient quality to be adequately reviewed.

For any activities that cannot be replicated live at moderation, schools/colleges must ensure that audiovisual evidence is available. This is to ensure that this work can be moderated if chosen as part of the sample and as a way of authenticating the evidence generated by the student. It is the responsibility of the school/college to ensure that the footage is clear and of sufficient quality to be moderated. It needs to be of sufficient length to show how the student has gained the marks awarded by the teacher. It is the responsibility of the school to ensure that facilities are available at the visit to view any activities that have been evidenced by audiovisual footage and form part of the moderation sample. Where audiovisual evidence is not available for a student assessment in an activity that has been included in the moderation sample, and the activity cannot be replicated live at moderation, the student will receive a mark of zero for their assessment in that activity. Further instructions about filming moderation and activities that cannot be replicated at moderation can be found at aqa.org.uk in a document entitled Teaching guide: NEA .

At no time during the visit will the moderator discuss marks with teachers/students or give feedback on the accuracy of marking within a school/college. Schools/colleges will only find out the outcome of moderation on results day.

At the end of the visit, the school will provide the moderator with a copy of the audiovisual evidence from the moderation visit and any other audiovisual evidence of activities that formed part of the sample. This is to allow for the completion of all relevant enquiries about results and appeals. If the footage is not clear and of sufficient quality to be adequately reviewed, then a re-moderation will not be possible and the outcome of the original moderation will be upheld.

Before students embark on an activity, which will in due course be assessed, schools/colleges must ensure that there will be no obstacles to the filming of that activity, for example if a swimming pool prohibits filming for child protection reasons or if it is impossible to obtain footage of sufficient quality when filming a student climbing a rock face. If it is not possible to appropriately film an activity for any reason, then students cannot use it as part of their assessment. Students must select a different activity to use as part of their assessment.

The moderator sees a sample of student work. The sample will be made up of work from the same sample of students seen for the performance assessment (practical performance).

The performance analysis assessment (analysis and evaluation) can be completed in either written or verbal format. This work must be evidenced, regardless of the format chosen. If it has been carried out in written format, then written evidence of the work must be available. If it has been carried out in verbal format, then an audiovisual recording of the student completing the task must be made. It is the responsibility of the school/college to ensure that the footage is clear and audible. If it is not, you may jeopardise the moderation process and are liable to have an adverse effect on the marks of some or all students. It is also the responsibility of the school to ensure that all student work is evidenced. If a student’s work is not evidenced and available for moderation, the student will receive a mark of zero for this aspect of the NEA. Further instructions about filming the performance analysis assessment (analysis and evaluation) can be found at aqa.org.uk in a document entitled Teaching guide: NEA . If the work is not available for a student that has formed part of the sample, either in written format or in audiovisual format where the work has been undertaken verbally, the student will receive a mark of zero for this aspect of NEA.

School and college consortia

If you are in a consortium of schools or colleges with joint teaching arrangements (where students from different schools and colleges have been taught together but entered through the school or college at which they are on roll), you must let us know by:

• filling in the Application for Centre Consortium Arrangements for centre-assessed work , which is available from the JCQ website jcq.org.uk
• appointing a consortium co-ordinator who can speak to us on behalf of all schools and colleges in the consortium. If there are different co-ordinators for different specifications, a copy of the form must be sent in for each specification.

We will allocate the same moderator to all schools and colleges in the consortium and treat the students as a single group for moderation.

All the work must be available at the lead school or college.

After moderation

We will return your students’ performance analysis assessment (analysis and evaluation) work to you after the exams. You will also receive a report when the results are issued, which will give feedback on the appropriateness of the tasks set, interpretation of the marking criteria and how students performed in general. Schools/colleges will need to make written performance analysis assessment (analysis and evaluation) work available to AQA in the event of requesting a re-moderation.

We will retain the audio visual recording of the performances seen at moderation, along with any audiovisual evidence for activities that could not be replicated live at moderation but formed part of the sample. This will be for a sufficient period of time to allow for the completion of all relevant enquiries about results and appeals.

To meet Ofqual requirements, as well as for awarding, archiving or standardisation purposes, we may need to keep some of your students’ work. We will let you know if we need to do this.

Schools/colleges will only find out the outcome of moderation on results day. Where marking is deemed to be too lenient/severe at moderation, an adjustment to all student marks will be made by AQA. This will be across the performance assessment (practical performance) and the performance analysis assessment (analysis and evaluation).

When is results day 2024? GCSEs, A levels, T Levels and VTQs

In August, pupils in England will find out their results for GCSEs, A levels, T Levels and VTQ (vocational technical qualifications) exams.  

Ahead of results day, schools, colleges and assessment centres should contact pupils directly to tell them how and when to collect them. They’ll also be able to answer any questions you have ahead of the day.  

Here’s what you need to know about exam results this year.

When is GCSE and Level 1/2 VTQ results day 2024?  

GCSE  results day is on Thursday 22 August.  

Results for Level 1, Level 1/2 and Level 2  VTQs  will also be available on or before this date.  

Normally, pupils will be able to go to their school or college and collect their results in person where they can get advice from their teachers.  

Alternatively, schools will send results to pupils in the post or by email.  

When is A level, T Level and Level 3 VTQs results days 2024?  

AS level, A level and  T Level  results day is on Thursday 15 August.  

Results for VTQs at Level 3 taken alongside or instead of A levels, such as BTECs, will be released to pupils on or before Thursday 15 August.  

Results can be emailed or sent in the post, but it’s a good idea to go into school or college to receive your results so you can get support from teachers and career advisers to discuss your options, especially if your results might affect your plans for September.  

If you’re applying to university via UCAS, you can track your  application online .  

How have exams been graded since the pandemic?  

Between 2019 and 2022, we saw a significant increase in the number of entries receiving top grades, due to disruption caused by the pandemic.  

Last year saw a return to pre-pandemic grading arrangements, and overall national results were similar to those of 2019. Ofqual have confirmed that they are continuing with normal grading this year.  

This is key to making sure exam qualifications are trusted – it means that universities and employers understand the performance of candidates, have confidence in their qualifications, and can use them to help them progress into the right opportunities.   

What should I do if I’m disappointed with my results?  

Your school or college and your teachers will support you if don’t get the results you hoped for or if your plans change based on the results you get.  

Remember, there are many different exciting options to take after school and college.  

If don’t get the GCSE results you were expecting, you can find out more about your options here .  

And if you’re worried about not getting the results you need for your university course, you can find out more about your options here .  

If you need help or advice around your exam results or next steps, you can call  the National Careers Service  helpline to chat to a careers adviser on 0800 100 900.  

If you’re feeling stressed or anxious about exams and you’re aged 18 or younger, you can also call Childline for free on 0800 1111 or  chat online  to get support.  

Ofqual has also created this practical guide for students on coping with exam pressure which offers advice and support on coping with exam anxiety and stress.

The first £1 coins featuring King Charles have entered circulation, with collectors encouraged to look out for the historic addition to the nation's change.

Nearly three million of the new designs will be making their way into pockets and tills across the country this week, via Post Offices and banks throughout the UK.

The £1 coin has a pair of British bees on the "tails" side, in honour of the King's passion for conservation and the natural world, and Charles' official coin effigy on the obverse, or "heads".

The other designs, which will be introduced in line with demand, are the 1p showing a hazel dormouse, the 2p red squirrel, the 5p oak tree leaf, 10p capercaillie grouse, 20p puffin, and the £2 with the national flowers - rose, daffodil, thistle and shamrock.

Giving workers the "right to switch off" is key to productivity and could boost economic growth, Downing Street has said.

Labour has promised to give employees the right to ignore work-related calls and emails out of hours, so homes do not become "24/7 offices".

Ministers are looking at models in other countries where there is already a right to disconnect, such as Ireland and Belgium.

The prime minister's spokesperson said the plan was about making sure "we're not inadvertently blurring the lines between work and home life".

The plans were not a "one size fits all" and would recognise companies vary and people have different roles, she added.

The number of firms in England and Wales going bust last month rose by 16% year-on-year, according to official figures.

Commentators said the 2,191 company insolvencies showed how many businesses were still recovering from the impact of high inflation and borrowing costs, despite growing optimism about the UK's economic outlook.

The figure was 7% down on June's total, but insolvency levels remain much higher than those seen during both the pandemic and in the years following the 2008/09 financial crisis, officials said.

Rebecca Dacre, a partner at advisory firm Forvis Mazars, said the data was "a strong reminder that many businesses are still a long way off from recovery".

BT's share price has fallen, wiping off an estimated £1bn from the company's value. 

One share now costs £134.45, a low last seen 10 days ago.  

It comes after an internet network rival CityFibre struck a deal with broadband supplier Sky. 

This means that Sky will now use CityFibre's network to offer its services starting next year. 

It's a hit to BT as Sky customers are hosted on BT's Openreach network. Under the plan, Sky aims to connect so-called "hard-to-reach areas".

CityFibre reaches 3.8 million homes and aims to expand and reach "at least" 8 million premises in the coming years, it said.

"This partnership with Sky is a huge vote of confidence in our business and has cemented CityFibre's position as the UK's third digital infrastructure platform," said company chief executive Greg Mesch.

Formerly British Telecoms, BT is worth roughly £14.44bn, based on the number of shares issued and the share price.

The head of financial analysis at investment platform AJ Bell Danni Hewson said the CityFibre detail may not be that significant. 

"BT shares came under pressure on fears of an enhanced competitive threat for its Openreach broadband operation amid chatter Sky might start partnering with CityFibre in 2025. 

"However, CityFibre's modest scale and focus on rural areas suggest it shouldn't be a huge issue."

Sky is the owner of Sky News.

UK citizens will need to pay a €7 visa-waiver charge to travel to Europe from next year after the EU revealed its timeline for the introduction of new entry requirements for some visitors.

The additional charge, which is similar to the US ESTA, is part of a series of new border checks and entry requirements the EU is bringing in.

They'll apply when entering the Schengen area, which includes 27 EU member states, plus Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland. 

The waiver will last for three years or until your passport expires.

Its official title is the European Travel Information and Authorisation System (ETIAS), and its implementation will follow the introduction of the EU Entry/Exit System (EES). The latter will require people to have their fingerprints registered and their pictures taken on arrival to airports.

Addressing the rollout, EU home affairs commissioner Ylva Johansson said the EES will enter into operations on ­10 November while the ETIAS will follow shortly after that in 2025 - likely May.

The price of gold has soared to a record high of more than $2,522 (£1,938) per ounce today.

It comes after months of the precious metal steadily rising in value.

Many factors are thought to have played a part, but analysts believe the latest leap is largely down to the weaker US dollar and growing expectations that the US Federal Reserve will cut interest rates next month.

Lower rates tend to make a country - and its currency - less attractive to investors, because they end up getting lower returns on bonds, shares and other investments.

There are also general worries about the status of the US economy, amid rumblings it could enter a recession this year or next - although some commentators have downplayed the likelihood of this.

But it is not just the US that is on the cusp of reducing the cost of borrowing.

The European Central Bank and the Bank of England both recently cut interest rates - and are expected to do so again this autumn - which may also be off-putting to some investors.

What has all this got to do with gold?

It's largely because of its perceived status as a "safe haven" investment.

Gold is seen as solid and dependable - both literally and in its value as a commodity.

It has been prized and sought after since ancient times - and its valuable status seems certain to continue long into the future.

So when things seem uncertain - and when interest rates are being seemingly cut everywhere - putting your money in gold may seem like a good bet (or so the thinking goes - of course, many would argue there is no such thing as a sure bet in the financial markets).

This "safe haven" status also helps explain why the price of gold may have been steadily rising in recent months, as fears have grown over an escalation of the wars in the Middle East and between Russia and Ukraine.

Tesco is hiking the price of its meal deal from Thursday.

Those using a Clubcard, which Tesco says is 80% of customers, will now pay £3.60.

This is up from £3.40, which had been the cheapest meal deal available at one of the traditional supermarkets.

Those without a Clubcard will now pay £4 - up 10p.

A Tesco spokesperson told the Money blog: "Clubcard members will pay just £3.60 for a main, snack and drink, meaning our meal deal remains great value and the ideal way to grab lunch on-the-go. 

"With millions of possible combinations across our stores, our recent improvements to ingredients and more than 20 new mains introduced this summer, the Tesco meal deal has got something for every taste."

The cost of the premium meal deal is unchanged at £5.

How does this compare?

Waitrose has the most expensive meal deal at £5 for the main, snack and drink combo. 

In July, Sainsbury increased the cost of its lunchtime meal deal by 25p from £3.50 to £3.75. 

A  Morrisons  meal deal costs £3.50, which is the same as  Co-op members - though non-members pay £4.

Asda  doesn't offer a fixed price for its meal deal. Instead, it operates a 3 for 2 system, which gives customers the cheapest item for free. 

If you read the Money blog on Friday you'll remember Gail's bakery chain came under fire for repurposing unsold pastries into croissants and selling them for almost £4 the next day.

We reported how the retailer lists the "twice baked" chocolate almond croissants as part of its "Waste Not" range, which means it is made using leftover croissants that are then "topped with almond frangipane and flaked almonds".

The scheme was criticised online, with many pointing out the £3.90 price tag is 95p more than the original croissant.

It's worth reiterating that the practice was not invented by Gail's - almond croissants were originally created by French boulangeries to reuse day-old croissants and stop them going stale.

We asked Gail's for comment and didn't hear back until late yesterday - this is what they said...

"We created our Waste Not range at Gail's to make good food go further. 

"Our almond croissants and chocolate and almond croissants are strong favourites in our bakeries. The croissants are soaked in demerara syrup and topped with our house-made frangipane spread, alongside crunchy almonds.

"The day-old croissants are sturdier than fresh ones, making them the perfect bake to be used. 

"We are big supporters of improving food systems, working with companies such as Too Good To Go and Neighbourly to reduce our impact on food waste and uplift communities. 

"Any bakes leftover at the end of the day are shared with charitable organisations in our neighbourhoods. Through our partnership with Neighbourly, we have donated the equivalent of 81,000 meals, reaching 239 good causes."

It comes as locals in a trendy London neighbourhood signed a petition against a Gail's bakery setting up shop in their area.

After (unconfirmed) rumours began circulating that the chain was looking to open a site in Walthamstow village, more than 600 have signed a petition opposing the plans.

The petition says the village "faces a threat to its uniqueness" should Gail's move into the area.

Basically, Section 75 is a way to get your money back if a retailer hasn't provided the goods or services you paid for - so long as you used a credit card or point of sale loan.

The price of the purchase must be   between   £100.01 and £30,000, but you only have to spend one penny of it using a credit card for your rights to kick in.

Section 75 is enshrined in law - the Consumer Credit Act 1974 - and allows you to raise a claim with your bank for a breach of contract or misrepresentation by the retailer.

The protection was put in place to make sure customers are not forced to pay off debt for faulty goods and services - or those that never arrive - by making the lender just as liable as the retailer.

When does Section 75 apply?

• Goods or services were not as described
• They were poor quality, defective, or not fit for purpose
• An item never arrived - including if the seller went bust
• A service wasn't carried out with reasonable care

How does it work?

You should contact your bank, who will investigate how you made your purchase and who was involved.

There needs to be a clear agreement between the customer, the supplier and your bank.

"They will ask for more details – explain how your consumer rights have been breached, you have exhausted all options with the retailer and cannot resolve your dispute," consumer champion Scott Dixon, from  the Complaints Resolver , told the Money blog.

"You need to push hard on S75 claims, as claims are often rejected on the first attempt."

It is useful to have supporting information to hand, like proof of payment, contracts, terms and conditions, screenshots of product descriptions, correspondence, photo evidence or - in some cases - independent assessments.

Scott added: "If you reach a stalemate with the credit card provider or finance company, ask for a deadlock letter setting out their final position so you can submit a formal complaint (with the final response/deadlock letter) to the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS). 

"They do not like cases being referred to the FOS as it costs them money."

When doesn't Section 75 apply?

• You paid with a debit card, charge card, cash, credit card cheque, or bank transfer;
• You paid with your PayPal balance (but you are protected if you used PayPal Credit);
• The credit was given under an overdraft or general-purpose bank loan;
• You purchased multiple items that only cost between £100.01 and £30,000 when added together;
• You bought the item from a third-party seller, like Amazon Marketplace or a travel agent;
• You used a buy now, pay later service or a hire purchase.

Rising optimism about the prospects of a ceasefire in the war in Gaza has sent the price of oil - and shares in energy giants – tumbling.

The cost of a barrel of benchmark Brent Crude has dropped to just over $76 (£58), the lowest price since the beginning of the month.

Shares in Shell and BP have also both slipped by around 2% in early trading.

Hopes of cooling tensions in the Middle East have helped ease fears of risks to supplies in the region.

Other factors said to be having an impact on oil prices include an increase in production at Libya's Sharara oilfield and concerns over China's slowing economy, including slower industrial output.

Another big faller this morning is BT Group. Its shares are down more than 5% after it was announced that Sky will launch full fibre broadband services next year on the network of BT's rival Cityfibre.

The falls have contributed to the FTSE 100 dipping by more than 0.5% on Tuesday, with the FTSE 250 also down 0.13%.

Gainers include easyJet Plc, which is up more than 1.2% amid optimism over the tourism industry this summer.

Similarly, Intercontinental Hotels Group is up by a similar level, while British Airways owner IAG is up nearly 0.8%.

Meanwhile, on the currency markets, this morning £1 buys $1.30 US or €1.17.

Pensioners are being urged to check if they are eligible for the winter fuel allowance after universal payments were scrapped by new Chancellor Rachel Reeves last month.

Previously, the money was available to everyone above state pension age, but now it will be limited to people over state pension age who are receiving pension credit or other means-tested support.

It means the number of people entitled to the money will drop from 11.4 million to just 1.5 million.

The payment is £200 for households where the recipients are all under 80, and £300 where they are over 80.

While around 1.4 million pensioners are already receiving pension credit, there are up to an estimated 880,000 households eligible for the support who are yet to claim, the Department for Work and Pensions says.

The government's awareness drive will help identify households not claiming the benefit, and encourage pensioners to apply by 21 December - the last date for making a backdated claim for pension credit in order to receive the Winter Fuel Payment.

It will focus on "myths" that may stop people applying, such as how having savings, a pension or owning a home are not necessarily barriers to receiving pension credit.

More information on applying for pension credit can be found on the  government's How to Claim page .

Yesterday we brought you the unwelcome news that winter energy bills are projected to rise by 9%, according to the latest forecast from Cornwall Insight.

Its newest prediction says the price cap from October to December will go up to £1,714 a year for the average user - a £146 hike from current levels.

We'll find out for sure on Friday.

Comparison service Uswitch says the forecast "compounds the worry" about rising bills for residents across the country "just as we reach the season to switch the heating back on".

"The price cap is expected to rise again in January, but bill payers can take action now to lock in certainty on how much they pay," says Uswitch director of regulation Richard Neudegg. 

It is worth pointing out that it's in Uswitch's favour for people to move - but there are definitely savings to be made based on current forecasts.

Here are the top 10 fixed energy-only tariffs that could help you beat the price rise as temperatures drop, according to Uswitch:

What to Know About Ukraine’s Cross-Border Assault Into Russia

The incursion caught Russia by surprise and signified a shift in tactics for Kyiv after more than two years of war with Russia.

Ukraine pressed ahead with its offensive inside Russian territory on Sunday , pushing toward more villages and towns nearly two weeks into the first significant foreign incursion in Russia since World War II.

But even as the Ukrainian army was advancing in Russia’s western Kursk region, its troops were steadily losing ground on their own territory. The Russian military is now about eight miles from the town of Pokrovsk in eastern Ukraine, according to open-source battlefield maps . The capture of Pokrovsk, a Ukrainian stronghold, would bring Moscow one step closer to its long-held goal of capturing the entire Donetsk region.

That underscored the gamble Ukraine’s army took when it crossed into Russia: throwing its forces into a daring offensive that risked weakening its own positions on the eastern front.

Whether that strategy will prove advantageous remains to be seen, analysts say.

On the political front, the offensive has already had some success: Ukraine’s rapid advance has embarrassed the Kremlin and has altered the narrative of a war in which Kyiv’s forces had been on the back foot for months.

Here’s what to know about Ukraine’s cross-border operation, which President Biden said last week was creating a “real dilemma” for the Russian government.

What happened?

Ukrainian troops and armored vehicles stormed into the Kursk region of western Russia on Aug. 6 , swiftly pushing through Russian defenses and capturing several villages.
