Details

The National Reference Test (NRT) provides additional information to support the awarding of GCSEs in England, specifically in English language and maths.

Ofqual processes personal data in association with the NRT in line with its statutory objectives and duties and in the exercise of its public task. The first document sets out what personal data we collect, how we will use it, who we will share it with and how long it will be kept.

The second document provides the background to the National Reference Test (NRT), and includes information about how the NRT was developed, the approach taken, and the way the test is administered, marked and analysed.
