Yes - it’s been stated in the Aug 6th key messages that term 1 exams for years 1 and 2 are mandatory formative, but starting in 2021 (ie term 2) the plan is back to summative. Formative exams you can’t ‘fail’, but you can still be marked as requiring academic support if you’re too many standard deviations below the mean.
