[senco-forum] access arrangements

I personally didn't know about the change in date until I read it on here
and I didn't know about the 'centre delegated' changes until the nice man
from the National Assessment Agency told me.

Dear Amanda,

Writing speeds for GCSE for 25% extra time (25% slower than average) : 
Year 10: 12.2 wpm

Year 11: 12.7 wpm.

Writing speeds for GCSE for scribes (40% slower than average) Year 10:  
9.8 wpm

Year 11:  10.1 wpm

(Taken from information from PATOSS)

When were we told. - I kept looking on the JCQ website during August and 
I think I found the new regulations on the website on 1st Sept. No we 
were not asked and given no warning as far as I know. I phoned an exam 
board access arrangements dept on 4th Sept, and they didn't know the 
date had been brought forward and had not received their hardcopy of the 
JCQ regulations!!

Regards,
Janet
