Service 1 (Clerical re-check)

- The request must be received by the awarding body by 26 September 2024.
- The deadline for completion is within 10 calendar days of the awarding body receiving the request.
This service will include the following checks:

- the totalling of marks;
- the recording of marks.
The outcome of the clerical re-check will be reported along with a statement of the total marks awarded for each unit, or component, included in the enquiry. Service 1 clerical re-checks can only be requested for objective tests (multiple choice tests).
Review of Marking Procedures:
This 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
The service is available for externally assessed components of both unitised and linear GCE and GCSE specifications.

- Candidate consent is required and must be held on file by the centre
- The request must be received by the awarding body by 26 September 2024.

Post-16 Support
We appreciate that this is a critical time for many Year 11 students who have not yet decided on their next steps. To help support students with this key transition we have put the following resource together to aid with information about different post-16 qualifications and local institutions. This can be found here. A careers advisor will also be available for support on the GCSE results day.
