Results and post results services

The question papers, mark schemes and examiner reports from this summer's assessments are now available on the qualifications pages. 

You can download centre-specific moderator feedback for Devising. To find out how to do this please read the guidance below.

Moderator Reports (E9)

Your moderator writes a report to explain where it was necessary to adjust your centre’s marks. Where possible, your moderator advises you on how you could make improvements for future series.

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

ResultsPlus

ResultsPlus is a free online results analysis tool for teachers that gives you a detailed breakdown of your students’ performance in Components 2 and 3. It provides the most detailed analysis available of your students’ performance and helps you to identify topics and skills where your students could benefit from further learning, helping them gain a deeper understanding of their subject. 

Access ResultsPlus

Access to scripts

For Component 3, you are now able to view and download scripts which have been marked online free of charge from our self-service portal via Edexcel Online.

You can save and/or print any scripts they need for teaching and learning purposes before the deadline (to be confirmed but is usually in December).

Scripts do not have examiner annotation on them. The marked script allows teachers to evaluate how the student performed on particular questions in relation to what they have been taught; the Principal Examiner's report and the exemplars that we make available demonstrate how the mark scheme is applied.

If scripts have been marked "traditionally" (i.e. not online), centres will have to request them via the Post Results section of Edexcel Online as in previous exam series.

These scripts will also be free of charge, but the final dates to request them are the same as the published JCQ Access to Scripts deadlines.

Review of marking and moderation (RoMM)

If you're a centre with a concern about a student's results, you can use our post results services. We have details about these services and their cost online.

Post results fees

Details of the fees for post results services from 1 August 2024 to 31 July 2025 are now online.
