Cambridge Assessment Conference 2012

EXAMINING RISK: deeper analysis of the pressures on assessment in England will be the theme of the 6th Cambridge Assessment Conference, which will take place on Wednesday 10 October at Downing College, Cambridge.

Human error has always been at the forefront of risk in public assessment. But are there other risks associated with the processing of tests and examinations? And who is running what sort of risk? Are the risks for learners different to the risks for governments? Can we, should we and how do we reduce risk?

The biennial Cambridge Assessment Conference 2012 will bring together speakers from a wide range of backgrounds to help stimulate new thinking on risk in the world of examinations.

We will:

• reflect upon lessons from events of the past
• consider what might be learned from insights within other fields
• reflect upon how best to confront the reality of risk in the future
