If you think there has been a mistake in the marking of your exams, you can request a review of the marking or clerical re-check of your exam paper.
- Review of marking
A second examiner will review the exam paper again to identify marking errors and ensure the mark scheme has been applied correctly. This service includes a clerical re-check. Exam boards will aim to complete A Level and GCSE reviews within 20 calendar days.
- Priority review of marking
This is the same as a review of marking but is processed faster. You can request a priority review of marking if you are depending on the outcome of the review to secure a higher education place. You should inform your intended higher education provider that you have requested a review of marking. Exam boards will aim to complete A Level priority reviews within 15 calendar days.
- Clerical re-check
A clerical re-check of a marked exam paper includes checking:
- All parts of the exam paper have been marked
- All marks have been counted/recorded correctly
- The grade boundaries have been applied accuratley
A clerical re-check takes up to 10 working days.
Access to scripts
You can request the 'access to scripts' service for a copy of your exam paper to use for teaching and learning. Do not choose this service if you have not yet requested a review of marking, clerical re-check or appeal but would like to, as enquiry about results cannot subsequently be made.
Priority access to scripts
You will be sent a copy of your exam paper to help you decide whether to request a review of marking/clerical re-check.
Exam boards will aim to return priority copies of A Level exam scripts by 7 September and GCSE exam scripts by 14 September.
This service is not suitable for students with higher education places pending (if this applies to you, we advise you go straight to a priority review of marking).
You must be aware that by requesting a clerical re-check or review of marking, your final subject grade/mark awarded may be lower than, higher than, or the same as the results which were originally awarded for the subject.
Each awarding body charges different fees for each service, please contact examinations@ccn.ac.uk for more information.
If you would like to request a post-results service, email examinations@ccn.ac.uk as soon as possible after you receive your results. The college is unable to accept requests after the deadlines below.
