Preliminary entries provide us with an estimate of the number of candidates that centres intend to enter for a unit or qualification. The deadline for submission is 10th October. Preliminary entries are an important source of information for ľ¹ÏÖ±²¥, and are used to calculate the despatch of examination stationery, pre-release materials and early exam papers to centres. It is therefore imperative that they are submitted as accurately as possible and by the 10th October deadline.
Basedata is required by any centre wishing to make entries using EDI (Electronic Data Interchange). It is imported into a centre's Management Information System (MIS) and contains all the necessary information for the various subjects that ľ¹ÏÖ±²¥ Eduqas offer, providing details of how each subject breaks down into its constituent parts, e.g. options, components, papers, maximum marks, exam dates, fees, etc.
It is essential that for each examination level and series, centres use the latest version of basedata available.Ìý
Each candidate must be issued with a UCI. This thirteen-digit number forms part of the candidate entry. Centres must always keep a candidate's original UCI and not create a new one if they move centres, but it is particularly important for unitised specifications and if carrying forward NEA marks.
Further information regarding UCIs is available on the .
