Summer 2021 adaptations In response to Ofqual s consultation regarding mitigating for lost teaching and learning time and the requirements for social distancing a number of adaptations have been implemented for the 2021 examination series. The adaptations can be found here. Adaptations include: Component 1: Learners can choose to perform a monologue. The minimum time for group performances has been reduced. The minimum requirements for lighting, sound and costume design have been reduced. The requirement for the evaluation to be completed under supervised conditions has been removed. A suggested word count of 900 words will be included rather than the time constraint of 1 hour 30 minutes. Component 2: Learners can choose to perform a monologue. The minimum time for group performances has been reduced. The minimum requirements for lighting, sound and costume design have been reduced. Learners will only be required to study one 10-minute extract (instead of two) from a performance text of their own choice. The performance text chosen must still contrast with the text chosen for Component 3. There are no changes to Component 3.
