From GL….. Exact may also be used as a screening tool to help identify students who may qualify for access arrangements, and who will require further assessment by an Access Arrangement Assessor. If Exact is used solely as a screening test the results would be included within Section A of Form 8 (not Section C). Screening may be administered by an suitably qualified Access Arrangement Assessor or by a non-specialist member of staff who is competent in test administration, but does not hold an assessor qualification (e.g. a SENCo or trained Higher Level Teaching Assistant). If Exact is administered by a non-specialist the results cannot be entered into Section C of JCQ Form 8. All tests in Section C must be administered by a qualified Access Arrangement Assessor who must sign to say that they carried out those assessments. If Exact has been used as a screening test by a non-specialist, the student may be retested by an Access Arrangement Assessor using the parallel (equivalent) form of Exact – see the Exact Administrator’s Manual Section 3.8 (accessed from the program and from the GL website).
