How to make entries
A centre must be registered as an OCR centre to make entries for external assessments. If you are not registered, please click here. Please note, it is not necessary to be registered to use our Teacher Assessment Packs.
If your centre is planning to conduct speaking tests at any point during 2009/10, you must request speaking test materials by the deadline of 05/10/09, as well as making final entries for speaking tests (see below). The procedure for entering candidates for speaking is different from entering candidates for the other skills of listening, reading or writing.
The materials, (examiner and candidate booklets), are free of charge. They will normally be despatched within 4 weeks of receiving a request.
To request speaking test materials, print out and complete the form below, specifying the language and stage you require, and return it to the Centre Services Team by post or fax. Submitting a completed form does not commit your centre to making final entries. Also, if there are significant changes to the numbers of candidates or stages you supplied on a form, please complete and submit a second one.
Centres who decide to particpate in the Asset Languages scheme during the academic year and who wish to make entries for speaking should request speaking test materials using the form above as soon as possible.
Centres must make final entries for all speaking, listening, reading and writing tests required, to meet the deadline for each testing window in November, March, May or June. For the deadline dates please click here.
Final entries must be made for each candidate for each assessment and option required.
- Final entries give us your centre’s detailed data for each candidate for each assessment to be taken.
- OCR uses final entry information to send you the correct assessment materials.
Final entries must be made for speaking tests in addition to requesting the test materials by 05/10/09. Please see the Admin Guide for more information.
There are two methods of making final entries:
Centres which normally use Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) to submit entries to the UK awarding bodies may also do so for Asset Languages external assessments.
To obtain basedata, centres should go to the OCR website. Basedata will be published there by the following dates:

For centres which do not usually use EDI to submit entries, the main method of making final entries for Asset Languages is via the Online Entries and Results System. This is located at
https://entries.assetlanguages.org.uk
(You may need to copy and paste this link into your browser.)
To make your entries on the System, your centre must first agree to the website Terms of Use:
Once your centre has returned the signed Terms of Use (by fax on 01223 556083 or by post), a password and login details will be emailed to the Asset Languages Exams Officer.
Entries can either be made directly on the website or by uploading a spreadsheet. Spreadsheet templates can be downloaded from the Online Entries and Results System.
Instructions on how to use the Online Entries System can be found in the System User Guide:
