The ability to allocate extra time for particular subjects for a candidate so this is displayed on their exam timetable
If extra time is only relevant for particular subjects, the candidates exam timetable would only reflect the actual subjects they are entitled to extra time for rather than showing extra time for all subjects which can lead to some confusion.

It is now possible to add access arrangements by entry (subject). Thank you.
It would also be great if access arrangements could be removed by subject. For example, if a candidate has extra time for all of their exams, except for the art practical (for example), then this means adding the extra time individually to the other 9 or 10 subjects. Could the arrangement be added globally, but then edited/deleted for the individual subjects?
I cannot believe nearly 2 years on, nothing has been done about this. Seating students with extra time for some subjects is going to be a nightmare. How do we know when they should be entitled to it from when they should not?
I support this. For GCSE and A level Art exams there isn't Extra Time allowed (except for a physical disability) so it is difficult as every pupil with an exams access arrangement of Extra Time looks on their timetable as if they are going to get it when they aren't. I am then emailing each pupil to advise them and the Art Head needing to advise pupils too
