Details of how next summer's exams in Wales will be run and graded have been released. Regulator Qualifications Wales said grade boundaries would be set midway between pre-pandemic 2019 and this summer's overall higher grades. This is despite England planning to largely return to pre-pandemic grading levels next year.
The decision means students and schools can expect results to be lower in 2023 than this year - when sat exams returned - and lower than the two pandemic years under teacher assessed grades, but higher than 2019.
Students and teachers will be given some advance information of the topics, themes, texts or other content to expect in summer 2023 exams.
