Around a third of A-level entries are set to achieve at least an A as pupils benefit from ‘cheat sheets' and more generous grading.
Millions of pupils and teachers will today swamp exam board websites to gain details of topics that will appear in this summer's A-level and GCSE papers.
It comes as Education Secretary Nadhim Zahawi insists that exams ‘are the best and fairest form of assessment' and vows they will go ahead despite the pandemic.
However, exam boards will publish ‘advance information' for more than 800 papers, which anyone can access online.
Education Secretary Nadhim Zahawi said: ‘Exams are the best and 파워볼사이트 fairest form of assessment and we firmly intend for them to take place this summer, giving students a fair chance to show what they know.
And the Department for Education has revealed that examiners ‘will be asked to be more generous when setting grade boundaries to provide a safety net for students who might otherwise just miss out on a higher grade'.
The extra leniency - due to disruption caused by Covid - is predicted to lead to around 35 per cent of A-level entries being graded A*-A and 25 per cent of GCSE entries at grades 7-9.

Chris McGovern, of the Campaign for Real Education, condemned the overhaul in England, claiming it is ‘devaluing the currency of exams and short-changing young people'.
He called for GCSE and A-level certificates to make clear that they cannot be compared with pre-Covid years.
He said: ‘This is a cheat's charter, not only for the children, but for all of society.' Advance information will be issued in all subjects at GCSE, AS and A-level - except for GCSE English literature, history, ancient history and geography - ‘where pupils will study and be examined on fewer topics'.
