A B reader is a physician certified by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) as demonstrating proficiency in classifying radiographs of the pneumoconioses. 1  1 History.  2 Objectives of the B reader program.
On the subject of pupils taking fewer GCSE exams, Mr Dodd added: The whole accountability system is changing and they will focus on GCSEs in eight subject areas. Candidates won't be doing 12 GCSE's, as some have done in the past, because the whole accountability system will drive candidates to do fewer subjects..eachers will be able to choose between two papers for their pupils: higher maths, which offers pupils a pass at grades 4 to 9, and a less testing paper, which offers only grades 1 to 5.
For example, it is not right to say simply that a new grade 4 will equal a current grade C. The read across is at the bottom of each grade, so that broadly the same proportion of students will get 4 and above as currently get C and above.A subtle but important difference.ew GCSEs in English language, English literature and maths will be taught in schools in England from September 2015, with students getting their results in August 2017. The new GCSEs will be graded 1 to 9, with 9 being the top grade.
