Post Results Service
Most Post Results services have a fee which is charged by the Awarding Exam Organisation and is payable by the candidate. Candidates must be aware that their grade could go down, go up or stay the same as part of exam board checks.
Review of Marking (Service 2)
This is not a remark. It is a post-results review of the original marking to ensure that the mark scheme has been applied correctly.
A marking error can occur because of:
- An administrative error;
- A failure to apply the mark scheme where a task has only a “right” or “wrong” answer;
- An unreasonable exercise of academic judgement.
The awarding body will train its reviewers to conduct reviews of marking accurately and consistently. Reviewers WILL NOT re-mark the script. They will only act to correct any errors identified in the original marking.
This service will include:
- Clerical re-checks
A review of marking as described above.
Priority Review of Marking – where a university place is pending (Priority Service 2)
This service is available for externally assessed components for A Level specifications only.
This is a priority review of marking. All processes detailed above for the Review of Marking (Service 2) will take place in a shorter timescale to assist where a university place is pending. Again, this is not a remark. It is a review of the original marking.
Important: Awarding bodies strongly advise candidates to inform their university choices that a review of results has been requested. By informing them, they may be able to keep the candidate’s place open until the review has been completed.
An awarding body WILL NOT inform UCAS or others that a review of marking has been requested. However, it will advise UCAS of any grade change arising from a review.
ATS – Access to Scripts
Centres (on behalf of candidates) may request copies of scripts to support reviews of marking.
College Administration fee for Access to Scripts service.
Woking College finance team have set administration fees for requesting and printing the exam scripts. These fees are to cover the time spent and additional workload of dealing with these requests. Details of the fees are in the Post Results Services document which is located below.
