Therefore, the DfE has confirmed that advance information will be provided by 7 February 2022 at the latest. The policy intention of providing advance information is that it will support studentsвЂ™ revision.The advance information will meet the principles set out in the consultation document. Exam boards will provide advance information about the focus of the content of the exams for all GCSE, AS and A level subjects (except GCSE English literature, history, ancient history and geography) for the summer 2022 exams.Students taking GCSE, AS and A level art and design will be assessed on their portfolio only.Exam boards can carry out remote monitoring of centresвЂ™ application of the CPAC.Centres will be allowed to assess the Common Practical Assessment Criteria (CPAC) across the minimum number of practical activities required to enable students to demonstrate their competence in A level biology, chemistry, physics and geology.This does not require changes to the assessment arrangements that the exam boards have in place for each of these specifications. We would encourage centres to continue to make available hands-on practical activities for their students wherever possible. Centres will be allowed to deliver practical work in GCSE biology, chemistry, physics, combined science, geology and astronomy, AS level biology, chemistry, physics and geology, and AS and A level environmental science by demonstration.Ofqual will require exam boards to change how they assess these subjects to reflect the expected changes to the way the subject content is assessed, as proposed in the consultation. There will be optional topics and content in GCSE English literature, history, ancient history and geography.In summary, these decisions mean that for summer 2022:
