Review of Marking
Once you have received your exam results you may be concerned about the grade awarded to you. If you believe there may have been a mistake then there are a number of options available.
If your University place is pending then it is essential that you opt for the ‘Priority remark’ service which processes the remark slightly faster, in an attempt to meet University deadlines. If there is no urgency then a ‘Remark’ request will provide a remark outcome within 20 days, this option is also cheaper. Scripts can be ordered with a remark request, or separately.
A candidate can request any service through school, however they must be aware that marks can go down as well as up and candidates may want to seek advice before going for a review of marking as their grade may be at risk, if the marks go down. There is a cost to all these services so please consult the Enquires about Results Form on the school website for details of the fees required. The costs are per unit/paper not per subject.
If you require any of these services, please complete a copy of the form and hand to Ms C Griffith (Examinations Officer) with the required funds or email the form but funds will be required before any remark request can be processed. There will be blue copies of this form in school for you to fill in both on results day and in the new term.
Please consult the Examinations Officer (Ms C Griffith) if you have any questions about the Enquiry about Results Services. Also consult the JCQ information and exam board information on the website to help with the services available.
