Post-Results Services

Service 1: Clerical Check

• Makes sure no pages were missed by the marker, and that marks were added correctly and recorded properly.
• Note: We will not process clerical check requests without a signed JCQ consent form.

 

Service 2: Review of Marking

• This is a post-results review of the original marking to ensure that the mark scheme has been applied correctly. Grades can stay the same, or go up, or go down. 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.
  • Reviewers will not re-mark the script. They will only act to correct any errors identified in the original marking.

 

Deadlines:

• Access to Scripts deadline: 11 February 2025.
• Review of Results – Clerical Re-check (Service 1) - deadline: 11 February 2025.
• Review of Results – (Service 2) deadline: 11 February 2025.

Note: We will not process any ATS/ROM requests without a signed JCQ consent form.

An appeal can only be made AFTER a Review of Marking and can only be made by the Principal directly to the awarding organisation (Exam Board). The college would have to clearly state the grounds for appeal.

If you are still unhappy following a Review of Marking, please contact exams@longroad.ac.uk and we will contact you to assess if we would support a further appeal.

If there are other concerns relating to the exams that you are unhappy about, please contact the Principal, Steve Dann, at sdann@longroad.ac.uk in the first instance. The formal complaints' policy can be found on the college website.

If you would like to get your papers back from the exam board please send an ATS  request to exams@longroad.ac.uk along with JCQ ATS signed form.

The college may want to see some student scripts if we think there is a problem with marking – usually if a subject’s results are much worse than we expected. We will get your consent to do this.

• We may decide to ask for a Review of Results for all candidates in a subject.
  • A Review of Results can cause grades to be moved up or down.
• We may want to see some scripts for training purposes – to see where the gaps in knowledge were in order to put more time into those sections of the course for new students.
  • In both these cases, we will ask students for permission to use the scripts and get consent.

Note: We will not process any ATS request without a signed JCQ consent form.
