From 22 August 2019 until 13 December 2019, you will be able to view and download scripts which have been marked online free of charge from our self-service portal.
The portal can only be accessed by Edexcel Online users who have the Exam Viewer profile ticked on Edexcel Online. Your exams officer gives teachers access to Exam Viewer.
Please note that these scripts do not contain examiners' annotations.
If scripts have been marked 'traditionally' (i.e. not online), you will have to request them, free of charge, via the Post Results section of Edexcel Online.
Candidate consent is required before requesting script copies, as per section 6.2.1 of the JCQ's Post-Results Services guide. Candidate consent can only be obtained after results have been published.
1. To download examiners' reports on examined components on results day go to ResultsPlus and sign in using your Edexcel Online username and password. If you've forgotten your password you can generate a reminder from Edexcel Online by selecting 'forgot password'. Then follow the steps below.
2. Once you are logged in under your centre, select 'ResultsPlus Analysis'.
3. Then select 'Whole cohort results' followed by 'Cohort paper analysis'.
4. Select the relevant qualification and series, 'GCSE' and 'June 2019', followed by the relevant subject and 'View paper analysis'. Select 'Exam docs' you will find the Examiners' Report for that component.

Please speak to your exams officer if you wish to proceed with a review of marking. Exams officers should contact their Centre Account Specialist on 0344 463 2535 if they require guidance or view the video tutorial below. All applications for reviews of marking must be submitted through Edexcel Online.
Senior examiners who carry out reviews of marking are re-trained prior to commencing reviews. As soon as you submit a request for a review of marking on Edexcel Online, the script is sent to the allocated senior examiner electronically. If they are sitting at their desk, they could receive the script and start reviewing it within minutes of your request.

If you are dissatisfied with the outcome of a review of marking, you may wish to appeal against the decision. We will allow the head of centre (or designated member of the centre’s senior management team or examinations manager) 14 calendar days from the receipt of the outcome of the review of marking, during which an appeal may be lodged by writing to the following address:
Edexcel Appeals Office
One90 High Holborn
London
WC1V 7BH
or by email to edexcelappeals@pearson.com
We cannot accept appeals directly from candidates, their parents or other third parties acting on their behalf. However, private candidates may appeal directly without the support of the entering centre.
Our support section provides useful information and a video explaining GCSE 9-1 grading.
We wish you and your students a well-deserved break over the summer, and the best of luck on results day.
Best regards,
This update is for BTEC Science teachers with key dates and information to support you over the results period for the January and February exam series. Other items have also been included that I hope you find useful.
