Results and post results services

The question papers and mark schemes from this summer's assessments will be published on our website in July. Question papers will be available on 2 July and mark schemes will be available on 16 July. Examiners Reports will be available on our website from 20 August.

Results will be released to centres on 14 August with results released to candidates on 15 August.

ResultsPlus

ResultsPlus is a free online results analysis tool for teachers that gives you a detailed breakdown of your students’ performance in Edexcel exams. 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.

Principal Examiner report

The Principal Examiner 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. Please speak to your examinations officer if you don't have access to ResultsPlus.

Watch our short video on how to find the Principal Moderator/Examiner Report.

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.

Exam feedback survey

We hope the exam season went well for you and your students. Now that the May/June assessments have been completed, if you’ve not already had chance to do so, we would greatly appreciate your feedback on this year's exam papers.

We wish to provide students with the best possible exam experience, and your insights are crucial in helping us to achieve this goal. If you're a teacher whose students have taken any of our exams in the May/June 2024 series, we're eager to hear your thoughts.

Please take a few moments to complete our survey. Your input will be shared with our senior examiners and across our subject teams to help us continuously improve our assessments.
