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.
