Here you’ll find our guidance to support you from creating your Mocks Service account, finding your mocks booking window and submitting your student entries, to receiving your results in ResultsPlus and our post-mocks results support.
We also provide additional guidance in our Mocks Service FAQs.
Before creating your mocks service account you will first need to purchase your mock exams via our Pearson Schools and Colleges website.
Once your have made your purchase you will then need to create or login to your mocks account, so that you are able to upload your students details. The links to the account login and the account creation form can be found in your order confirmation email.
We have a dedicated web page with the Mocks Service Terms and conditions.
We offer our Mock service on an on-demand basis from September until July.
From September we offer a fresh set of past papers from the previous summer series, including any new unseen content that is made available.
Every January, our GCSE English and Maths papers are updated with the past papers from the November series.
From May we offer a reduced service to include Maths and English GCSE and International GCSE as well as AS Level Maths. This provides end of year assessment support for year 10 and 12 students during the exam season.
The link to the Mocks Service platform can be found in your order confirmation email. You can also use our step-by-step guide for candidate entries for more information.
Please refer to our step-by-step Mock Entry Guidance to walk you through the process. Also, for extra help, take a look at ‘Making and amending entries’ in our Mocks Service FAQs.

You can continue to offer onscreen or paper-based* mocks to your students even if they are working from home.
Although the mock will not be taken under the same exam conditions, the benefits of the mock experience and the information that the mock service provides on student performance can still be achieved in a home setting.
There are lots of ways that you could arrange for mocks to be taken at home. For guidance on invigilating onscreen mocks please see the Mocks Service onscreen assessment web page.
For paper-based mocks at home, one suggestion could be:
- Give clear date and time for mock exam to take place.
- Post the exam scripts to your students in a clearly sealed envelope to arrive in time before the exam.
- Invigilate the exam remotely by asking your students to have both their screen and sound on. Mocks exams could also be invigilated by parents at home. Invigilation of mocks is subject to individual school or college discretion.
- Ask the students to open the envelope with their exam paper in it in full view of the invigilator. Invigilator can then turn their own mute on but observe the students throughout the exam.
- Students should post/deliver the exam script back to the school in a postage-paid envelope provided. Or where they have access to laptop or PC, they can share a document file immediately at the end of the exam.
Schools must post completed mock exam papers back to Pearson for the full mock cohort.
Students must not send their mock papers to us directly, or individually.
Once you have received your students’ mock papers, please send them clearly labelled to:

Hellaby Industrial Estate
