BTEC Firsts in Music and BTEC Tech Award in Music Practice: July 2023 update

On behalf of the Pearson Edexcel Music team, we want to thank everyone in schools and colleges for your dedication in supporting students and helping to make sure they achieve the grades they deserve. We wish you and your students a well-deserved break over the summer, and the best of luck on results day.

Summer 2023 results

The standards verification process is coming to an end and you will be able to access your SV report once it has been completed. You can access the SV report via Edexcel Online. We have produced a short video showing how to access your SV report.

For the external assessments from the summer series the results will be issued to centres on 16 August for BTEC Level 2 Firsts and BTEC Tech Award (2017), and 23 August for BTEC Tech Awards (2022). Results can be released to candidates on 24 August 2023. 

You can find the results for externally assessed units for your cohorts via Edexcel Online.

Access to scripts

After the results are published in August, centres will be able to view and download scripts which have been marked online free of charge from our self-service portal via Edexcel Online.

Customers should 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.
