  1. BTEC Firsts External Assessment: FAQsHealth & Social Care When should learners take the assessment?You will need to ask your Examinations Officer to make ‘test bookings’ when you judge your learners are ready to take the assessment. You should bear in mind when making this decision that these are level 2 assessments, equivalent to GCSE-level in standard.Can Year 9s take the external assessment?As this is a level 2 assessment, we recommend that you do not enter Year 9 learners unless you are confident they are ready to take the test. What are the key dates I need to know about?We’ve listed the assessment opportunities for Health & Social Care on the final slide, with deadlines for when you need to make test bookings and expected results release dates. Why are there deadline for sectors with paper-based tests?We set test booking deadlines to ensure we pass all the relevant materials to you in time; the deadlines will generally be in line with GCSE key dates. We will announce exact times and dates before every assessment window on the BTEC website at www.btec.co.uk/externalassessment.

  2. BTEC Firsts External Assessment: FAQsHealth & Social Care How much feedback will you give when the results are issued?We will publish an “Examiner’s Report” on the website shortly after we issue the results; the Report will include grade boundaries and comments on learners’ performance. Do we timetable the test – or does Pearson set the dates?Pearson sets the timetable for the test, so you must ensure it takes place at the designated time. We will announce final dates and times before the examination session at www.btec.co.uk/externalassessment. What do test bookings cost?The first test booking is included in the cost of the registration. We will charge re-sits at £13.50 per unit, and we will apply late fees to any test booking made after the advertised deadline.
