BSC Examinations Publishing Policy for Specifications
Specifications are published on 1 August each year to allow registered centres, course providers and candidates adequate time to prepare for assessments from 1 January the following year.
For all BSC specifications, the electronic version on the BSC website is definitive in the case of any difference between it and a previously printed version.
The electronic version on the website is updated if any significant changes are made during the lifetime of the specification. Registered course providers are notified of such changes.
All significant changes to a specification are side barred, irrespective of whether they are changes to the subject content, the scheme of assessment or the administrative arrangements. The exceptions are presentational changes or correction of typographical errors. Side bars are used to indicate any changes from the previous version only; side bars in Version 3 indicate changes from Version 2, but not changes from Version 1.
