What is it?

A check of all clerical procedures which lead to us issuing a result. This includes making sure:

• all parts of the exam paper have been marked
• marks have been recorded/added up correctly
• special consideration has been applied (where appropriate)
• the grade boundaries have been applied accurately

You might consider this service if the results for one candidate are unexpected compared to the rest of the cohort.

Candidates’ marks or grades can go up, down or stay the same.

The deadline for completion is within 10 calendar days of receiving the request and is available when the component is from one of the following qualifications:

Edexcel Level 1 and Level 2 components/units

Edexcel GCSE

Edexcel International GCSE

Edexcel Awards in Mathematics

Edexcel Digital Applications (CiDA/DiDA)

Edexcel Level 3 components/units

Edexcel AEA

Edexcel AS and A level

Edexcel Awards in Mathematics

Edexcel International AS and A level

To get a copy of the clerically checked exam paper, you should request an Access to Script (ATS) service at the same time as submitting the Service 1. There is a fee for this additional service.
