The option of retaking the exam is described elsewhere on this site. You can only get a remark through the centre where you took the exam. That's generally your school or college. You'll need to talk to your teachers anyway to work out whether getting a remark makes sense see below. The exam centre does all the paperwork with the board. Each exam board has its own procedures, and although they all have to conform to national post-results service rules , procedures can differ.
If you sat exams as a private candidate , you can ask the exam board directly under certain limited circumstances. There are two main sorts of remark or Review of Results , and several others that are more important to schools and teachers.
The two options you are likely to have are a clerical check also called Service 1 , and a review of marking Service 2. A clerical check simply involves somebody going through your exam paper adding up all the points the examiner awarded, to check that none were missed. A review of marking involves an examiner looking through your script and checking that it was marked consistently with the mark scheme.
It is not actually remarked from scratch. Scripts are only fully remarked if the exam board decides that a particular marker keeps getting things wrong. Clerical checks are cheaper to request but much less likely to uncover a mistake, especially now that many scripts are marked online with the totting up done by computer. Confusingly there's also a process called an appeal. This applies only if you have had the results of a remark, and you and your school want to challenge the result.
You also have the right to appeal if your school refuses to request a remark for you. There are plus and minus points to getting a remark. The big plus is of course getting a better grade if the remark works out. The minus points are:.
Each case is different, and we strongly advise you to talk to your teachers before getting a remark. Well, neither: many remark requests are from students who have good reason to suspect errors, while nationally, many who might benefit from getting a remark don't ask for one.
Whether getting a remark is worthwhile depends entirely on individual circumstances! You need to talk to your teachers to assess what your chances are. Your teachers can help you decide on getting a remark They know your work, they know what the exam was like and they know the results of your class-mates.
All that gives them a perspective on whether something has gone wrong. They also had to give the exam board a grade prediction for you earlier in the summer.
They can check the number of marks you got for the exam and tell you how close it was to the grade boundary mark. If you were very close, getting a remark might nudge you up a grade. We can't remoderate a controlled assessment for an individual or remoderate work where we didn't change your teacher's mark. Controlled assessments can be remoderated if we changed the marks given by your teacher, but it is down to your school to decide whether to request this.
Your school or college will need to base their decision as to whether to request remoderation on what is best for the majority of students. When we receive a request for remoderation, the work of all students originally entered at your school or college goes through the moderation process again. This means that changes made to grades during remoderation may affect all students who submitted work.
The rules around marking, moderating and remoderating coursework and controlled assessments are agreed jointly by the major UK awarding organisations. They are in place to ensure that all students are treated equally, regardless of the awarding organisation used for their subject.
The exams officer at your school or college will be able to request for us to return your marked question paper on your behalf. Your school or college may ask you to pay for these services before they submit your application. You can ask your school or college to return any project, coursework or controlled assessments.
It's no longer possible to resit individual GCSEs units in order to improve your overall grade. The rules for resubmitting controlled assessments vary by subject. So, if you decide to retake your qualification, you'll need to check with your teacher to see whether you can improve your existing work or will need to complete a different task.
Resitting usually refers to retaking an individual exam or unit. Retaking a qualification means that you start again, redoing all of the exams. If you decide to retake the qualification, you may be able to carry forward your grades for controlled assessments but you'll need to double-check with your teacher that this is possible.
All other GCSE exams are only available in the summer. You can find exam dates by checking our exam timetables or by speaking to your exams officer.
There is a charge for entering each unit and you'll need to check with your exams officer to see if your school will pay for you to redo an exam or piece of coursework. Grade protection does not apply to any of our post-review services that include a review of marking.
