About this book
Moor Study is an independent publication about studying in the UK. It is written by its editors and by guest contributors, and it is not connected with any school, college, exam board or regulator.
What it covers
Three things, mostly: GCSE and A-level revision, coming back to qualifications as an adult, and distance learning. The look comes from the school exercise book, which is still where a lot of real studying happens. We want the same habit in the articles: show the working, and let you check the sums.
How we write
- Rules, dates and figures come from pages we have opened, such as GOV.UK, Ofqual, UCAS and the awarding bodies. Each article lists them at the end.
- Research gets described as cautiously as the people summarising it describe it. Where evidence is mixed, or does not quite apply to the situation, we say so.
- Worked examples are written by us for illustration, and are labelled. They are not real exam questions or real students.
- Where something is our opinion or our suggestion, we try to say so plainly.
Our articles are general information. They are not personal advice about money, health or your application. Where it matters, we say who to ask.
Guest posts and links
We accept guest articles, under the rules on our write for us page. Any commercial connection a guest author has must be disclosed.
Corrections
Exam rules and funding change often and we will sometimes be out of date. If you spot something wrong, email [email protected] and tell us where to look.
