About the seminar
The SCORE partnership held a seminar to launch its report on the
GCSE Science 2008 examinations. The report investigated how the

GCSE science. The seminar gave delegates an overview of the
main findings of the report and also an overview of the Ofqual
report which investigated the validity and reliability of different
assessments in science at GCSE.
