You should now be receiving your Initial E9 report after moderation.
There is lots of useful information about what the report means and how to amend your marks (if required). You don't have to amend the marks.
Change in release dates for the PSA
PSAs will be released three months earlier, giving more time for teachers to plan, prepare, mark, and upload assessments.
This means we will be releasing upcoming PSA’s on:

1 September 2025 for the May/June 2026 assessment series.
Earlier release dates will not alter the submission deadlines each series.
