ResultsPlus is our online results analysis tool for teachers. Included as part of your qualification fees, ResultsPlus gives you a detailed breakdown of your students’ performance in Pearson exams and external assessments.
Past question papers and mark schemes are offered free of charge on our website with ‘restricted access’ to teachers at Pearson centres for 12 months after an exams series and then ‘open access’ to all users thereafter.
Teachers and exams officers at Pearson centres require an Edexcel Online login to access assessment materials during the 12-month restricted access period. Access to Edexcel Online is managed by exams officers in each centre.
Question papers and mark schemes are released with restricted access as follows for the summer series:
Past question papers, mark schemes and examiner reports are normally kept under restricted access to teachers with Edexcel Online access for 12 months. This is to allow centres to use these materials as unfamiliar mock assessments or practice resources with their students.
You can access May/June 2025 grade boundaries on our website from results day.
In addition to the official grade boundaries that are produced at subject level, we will also be providing notional grade boundaries at component level. These can help you mark and assess future mocks.
For help understanding marks and grades, please see these dedicated support guides.
And for General Qualifications, please see these guides to help understand how grade boundaries are set.
The dedicated Tech Awards Understanding Results page includes a grade calculators, mark converters, and other useful links that will help for results day. For further information and guidance, please see the Tech Awards Support Index.
Read our BTEC Tech Award Assessment and Results Guide for Schools for details on how these qualifications are awarded and grade boundaries.
Watch the BTEC Bitesize Qualification Grade video for Tech Award Art and Design Practice for details on how the overall qualification grade is calculated.
As part of our responsibility for delivering the Technical Qualification, we issue results for the core component (the core exams and employer set project) and the occupational specialism.
We'll send component results to exams officers’ Edexcel Online mailboxes on 13 August 2025. These will consist of statements of results (one PDF per student) and a broadsheet of results for all students at the centre across all Technical Qualification components. The release of these component results to students is embargoed until 14 August 2025.
We will transfer all component results to the DfE, who are responsible for:
For more information, explore the DfE’s T Levels support for schools and colleges or contact DfE directly.
If you have any questions about the Manage T Level results service, you can contact tlevel.resultsandcertification@education.gov.uk.
Moderator Reports provide feedback on the accuracy of internal assessment at your centre and advise you on suggested improvements. These will be accessible from results day.
You can find these on Edexcel Online. Please speak to your examinations officer if you don't have access to Edexcel Online.
These reports are for components that are internally assessed and externally moderated.
The 'Coursework moderation and mark adjustments' guide explains how we calculate final coursework marks.
For support understanding your moderator reports, please check out these helpful resources.
The Principal Moderator also 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 as well as on the qualification course materials page. Please speak to your examinations officer if you don't have access to ResultsPlus.
These reports are for components that are internally assessed and externally moderated.
Examiner reports are made available after results days and you will be able to view Examiner Reports through our Pearson Qualifications website.
You will need to navigate to the course materials page of the required qualification.
These reports are for qualifications and units / components that are externally assessed by Pearson.

JCQ guidelines require that 'live' work is kept secure until results day and review of marking and moderation (ROMM) dates have taken place, as well as any subsequent appeals if applicable.
This applies to both Component 1 and 2 of GCSE, International GCSE, and A Level Art and Design.
If work is taken out of secure conditions and a centre subsequently wishes to apply for a review of marking and moderation after results day, this could be compromised by loss of or damage to work that was in the sample.
Once your centre has completed this process after results days and any requested reviews are finalised, you are free to release the students' work back to them.
Access the JCQ Instructions for conducting non-examination assessments
Original learner evidence must be kept current, safe, and secure for 12 weeks after learners have been certificated (unless specifically advised longer due to unforeseen circumstances). Please note that the 12 weeks starts once the certificates have been received by your centre.
Following learner certification, the following BTEC documentation should be retained for a minimum of three years for centre and awarding body scrutiny as required:
As we conclude the May/June 2025 assessment series, we seek your feedback to improve future assessments.
If your students took our qualifications, please share your thoughts. Your input will be shared with senior moderators, examiners, and subject teams to enhance the assessment experience.
We appreciate your participation. Please take a few minutes to complete this survey.
