**FAQ GCSE Astronomy:**

**Do I need to supply evidence of completing observations?  
**_The exam board requires that all students complete at least one aided and one unaided observation from the list given in the specification. When booking the exam, you will be asked to confirm that you will be able to provide this evidence to comply with the exam board requirements. You will need to either upload or email evidence from a tutor that this has been completed._

**What additional equipment do I need to bring to the exams?**  
_For GCSE Astronomy you may use a HB pencil for graphs and diagrams and a ruler is also required. A basic scientific calculator which meets JCQ regulations is the best option for GCSE Astronomy, if the calculator has any memory capacity this must be cleared before the exam and the calculator should have no formulae or other information on it._

_Yes, calculators are allowed for both exam papers._
