 Accessing Results

You can access the following results and reports on Edexcel Online.

Report name Used for: Contains:
Broadsheet Checking student performance at a glance.  All unit level scores and overall subject grades 
Component Mark List Checking student performance against grade boundaries (also useful for teachers and
heads of departments).
Listed by component, shows: subject marks,
UMS, maximum raw and weighted marks. 
Contributing
Units Results
Checking how raw unit marks contributed to each UMS (also useful for teachers and heads of departments).   Grades, component unit scores, total UMS
and grade boundaries. 
CSPRs Providing results information to students. It details overall grades and contributing units.  Shows grades for all subjects and scores for
each unit.  

ResultsPlus is our online results analysis tool for teachers. Included as part of your qualification fees, ResultsPlus gives you a detailed breakdown of your students’ performance in Pearson exams and external assessments.

Past question papers and mark schemes are offered free of charge on our website with ‘restricted access’ to teachers at Pearson centres for 12 months after an exams series and then ‘open access’ to all users thereafter.

Teachers and exams officers at Pearson centres require an Edexcel Online login to access assessment materials during the 12-month restricted access period. Access to Edexcel Online is managed by exams officers in each centre.

Question papers and mark schemes are released with restricted access as follows for the summer series:

  • Question Paper: 7-8 weeks before results day
  • Mark Scheme: 4-5 weeks before results day

Past question papers, mark schemes and examiner reports are normally kept under restricted access to teachers with Edexcel Online access for 12 months. This is to allow centres to use these materials as unfamiliar mock assessments or practice resources with their students. 

You can access May/June 2025 grade boundaries on our website from results day. 

In addition to the official grade boundaries that are produced at subject level, we will also be providing notional grade boundaries at component level. These can help you mark and assess future mocks.

We have published guidance to support you with the Tech Awards (2022) results. 

The new Tech Awards Assessment and Results gude gives an overview of assessment and results, highlighting key differences to legacy qualifications.

The dedicated Tech Awards Understanding Results page includes a grade calculators, mark converters, and other useful links that will help for results day.  

As part of our responsibility for delivering the Technical Qualification, we issue results for the core component (the core exams and employer set project) and the occupational specialism.

We'll send component results to exams officers’ Edexcel Online mailboxes on 13 August 2025. These will consist of statements of results (one PDF per student) and a broadsheet of results for all students at the centre across all Technical Qualification components. The release of these component results to students is embargoed until 14 August 2025.

We will transfer all component results to the DfE, who are responsible for:

  • aggregating and issuing the overall T Level result via their Manage T-Level results service, including results from the two Technical Qualification components and the completion of the industry placement
  • issuing T Level certificates and statements of achievement
  • reporting T Level grades to UCAS.

For more information, explore the DfE’s T Levels support for schools and colleges or contact DfE directly.

If you have any questions about the Manage T Level results service, you can contact tlevel.resultsandcertification@education.gov.uk.

Moderator and Examiner Reports

Moderator Reports provide feedback on the accuracy of internal assessment at your centre and advise you on suggested improvements. These will be accessible from results day.

You can find these on Edexcel Online. Please speak to your examinations officer if you don't have access to Edexcel Online.

These reports are for components that are internally assessed and externally moderated.


The 'Coursework moderation and mark adjustments' guide explains how we calculate final coursework marks.

The Principal Moderator also compiles a report on how candidates performed in this year’s examinations. It provides general feedback and highlights good approaches that can be taken forward to future examination series.

You can find these reports on ResultsPlus as well as on the qualification course materials page. Please speak to your examinations officer if you don't have access to ResultsPlus.

These reports are for components that are internally assessed and externally moderated.

Examiner reports are made available after results days and you will be able to view Examiner Reports through our Pearson Qualifications website.

You will need to navigate to the course materials page of the required qualification. 

These reports are for qualifications and units / components that are externally assessed by Pearson.

Here you will find our fees for all post-results services, including details of the situations where we won't charge:

A centre that is dissatisfied with the outcome of a review of marking or moderation (RoMM), special consideration or access arrangement request, or malpractice determination may wish to appeal against the decision.

We will allow the head of centre (or designated member of the centre’s senior management team or examinations manager):

  • 30 calendar days from the receipt of the outcome to lodge an appeal against a RoMM decision
  • 14 calendar days from the receipt of the outcome to lodge an appeal against a malpractice decision
  • 14 calendar days from the receipt of the original decision to lodge an appeal against a special consideration or access arrangement decision.

All appeals must be submitted by the entering centre. We cannot accept appeals directly from candidates, their parents or other third parties acting on their behalf. The only exception to this is if private candidates are appealing directly without the support of the entering centre. Any appeals submitted directly to us by candidates (other than private candidates), parents or other third parties will be invalid and will not be accepted for processing. Candidates wishing to appeal should contact their centre.

BTEC Retention of Learner Work and Evidence

Original learner evidence must be kept current, safe, and secure for 12 weeks after learners have been certificated (unless specifically advised longer due to unforeseen circumstances). Please note that the 12 weeks starts once the certificates have been received by your centre.

Following learner certification, the following BTEC documentation should be retained for a minimum of three years for centre and awarding body scrutiny as required:

  • assignment briefs
  • assessment records (feedback sheets)
  • the associated internal verification documentation
  • achievement tracking at criteria and unit/component level
