Editorial policy

A factual claim about an examination comes from the authority that conducts it. Not from another education site, not from a news report of what the authority said, and not from a press summary — from the notice itself.

Where we cannot find such a document, we publish nothing for that field. An empty row means we have not confirmed it. It never means the answer is no.

Dates, deadlines, fees, eligibility rules and results are approved by a person before publication. No automated process may publish one, however confident it is, and the reviewer sees the extracted value alongside the exact line it came from before deciding.

The reviewer’s name is recorded against the value. A published fact on this site is something somebody stood behind.

A confident-sounding wrong answer is worse than a hedged right one. Where a value is projected, provisional or drawn from a completed cycle, it says so on the page. Where a source is ambiguous — a date that could be read two ways, a schedule spanning several days — the ambiguity is surfaced rather than resolved by preference.

Machine assistance is used for the mechanical parts: reading documents, extracting candidate values, and drafting explanatory copy like this page. It is not used to decide what is true.

No factual value reaches a page because a model produced it. Every one is traced to a document and approved by a person. We do not generate plausible-sounding exam information, and we do not publish text that asserts facts no source supports.

Government notices are linked, quoted briefly as evidence for a specific claim, and never rehosted wholesale. Coaching material, textbooks and commercial question banks are not ingested or redistributed.

One exception, scoped narrowly: for one exam so far, individual previous-year questions are transcribed from the official question paper — the question, its options and the official answer, nothing else from the paper — and cited back to the source paper and the official answer key. The paper itself is still not rehosted.

Every question states how its answer was checked. The AI-generated content section above sets the general rule — a person approves before publication — but this table’s first batch (one exam, one shift, 75 questions) is a stated exception: the answer was matched against the official answer key by the question’s own ID, automatically, and no person read it before it published. That is disclosed on each of those 75 questions, not just here, and it will stop being true as human review of this batch catches up.

Being able to read a document is not permission to reproduce it. Those are separate questions and we treat them separately.

ExamSource is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or acting on behalf of any examination authority, board, university or coaching institution. Where that changes — through advertising, sponsorship or partnership — it will be disclosed on the page it affects, not in a footer.

Errors are fixed on the record rather than quietly edited away: a superseded value keeps its history and the date it stopped being current. If you find one, report it.
