Exam lifecycle update

To better support teachers we have made our exam papers available more quickly. You may have noticed that after every exam in summer 2018, we uploaded papers to Interchange within two to ten days.

Mark schemes followed onto Interchange on results days. The summer 2018 GCSE, AS and A Level exam papers will then be added to our public website in early May 2019 to help students prepare for their exams.
