Assessment arrangements - important deadlines today

Today, Friday 31 January, is the deadline for the following assessment arrangements requests.

Adapted and digital question papers

You must submit requests for adapted question papers and digital question papers by today, Friday 31 January. If we receive any requests after this deadline, we can’t guarantee that we’ll be able to fulfil them. In this situation, we’ll offer you the most suitable version that’s already available.

Delivery of digital question papers

You can only request digital question papers as part of an approved assessment arrangement. Please make these requests using the Assessment Arrangement Request (AAR) system. We’ll then provide the files to you on a CD. If you would prefer to receive these files electronically, please email qpdelivery@sqa.org.uk by today, Friday 31 January. If you request electronic files, you’ll receive those instead of a CD.

English as an additional language (EAL) word lists

You must submit requests for EAL word lists by today, Friday 31 January. We can’t guarantee that we’ll be able to fulfil requests received after this deadline.

You can find instructions on how to submit requests for these learners on the SQA Secure website.
