Such a system would be based on the following:Schools would send to SQA the details of units for which they wished candidates to be entered.As candidates took the units, the schools would record the results of these units on their own systems as they do at present.In early May, SQA would send a report to schools providing details of the units for which entries were held on their system based on information previously provided by the schools.By 31 May, schools would advise the SQA of any units for which the result was a fail, deferred or withdrawn.Where the SQA had not been notified of any exception by the school, candidates' unit results would be treated as a pass.It is recognised that the needs of FE colleges are different to those of schools.
