General Information

Each awarding body offers a range of post result services in line with JCQ Regulations.  Below is an overview of what each service entails.

Clerical Check - This service will include checks to:

• ensure all parts of the script have been marked
• the totalling of marks
• the recording of marks
• Completion of a clerical check takes up to 10 working days

IMPORTANT - If this service is used grades are not protected so can go down, stay the same or go up.

Review of Marking - A review of marking does not re-mark the script but reviews the original marking to ensure the agreed mark scheme has been applied correctly.  This service also includes clerical re-checks.  Completion deadline is within 20 calendar days of the awarding body receiving the request.

IMPORTANT - If this service is used grades are not protected so can go down, stay the same or go up.

A Level Priority Review of Marking is available for a very limited time and is for A Level students whose place is dependent on the review outcome.  Students must include their UCAS ID in the application to access this service.  This service can take up to 15 calendar days.
