REVIEW OF RESULTS
If you would like to use any post result services for your exam results please scan the QR code enclosed with your exam results on results day. Alternatively, please complete the form below.
If you are unhappy with your exam result(s) you can ask for a clerical check or a review of marking (both priority and non-priority). Additional information surrounding fees and deadlines can be found below. All requests for post-results services must go through the Examinations team at Weston College, who will make requests to the awarding bodies on your behalf. Grade protection does not apply for any post-results service which means that candidates’ marks and subject grades may be lowered, confirmed, or raised as a result.
You will receive a refund of the paper(s) IF the overall grade is changed.
FAQS
A clerical check of a marked paper will ensure:
- All the pages were marked
- All the marks were counted
- The result matches the marks on the paper.
There is a selection of either a priority review of marking (usually for those who are urgently awaiting on result to attend higher education) or a non-priority review of marking. Review of marking is carried out to ensure that the agreed mark scheme has been applied correctly and includes a clerical check.
