Visiting assessment
As noted in our update of 13 January, it is still the clear intention for national exams to take place in April to June 2022, as long as it is safe to do so. Visiting assessment is a key part of National Qualifications for certain subjects and so we are planning to go ahead with a full visiting assessment diet during the following time periods:
| 14 February–22 April |
National 5 and Higher Dance and Drama, and Advanced Higher Drama |
| 14 February–25 March |
National 5 and Higher Music, Advanced Higher Modern Languages, and Advanced Higher Gàidhlig |
| 25 April–13 May |
Advanced Higher Music |
We would also like to assure centres that our visiting assessors will follow Scottish Government’s Covid-19 guidelines and, when arranging their visit, will check regarding any specific arrangements that are in place in centres.
Full information on visiting assessment is available in section 13.23 of the Guide for SQA Co-ordinators 2021–22 on SQA Connect. If you have any queries about this activity, please contact the Visiting Examining team.
