Review of Marking

PLEASE BE ADVISED THIS IS NOT A REMARK OF YOUR PAPER(S)

Before applying for a Review of Marking, you should note:

component results can go up, down or stay the same – this means that your overall grade can also do the same.
on average, reviews only result in a change of 3 or 4 marks – and they, more often than not, do not change at all.
component results do have notional grade boundaries, but these are irrelevant when considering a review of marking. You must check your
Award Grade Boundary, to see if you are close to the next grade up.
if having two (or more) components in the same subject reviewed, it is entirely possible that one of the reviews could take the total mark above the award grade boundary, whilst the second review brings it back under again.
the outcome document you will receive from the awarding body will only indicate the overall mark for the reviewed component(s) it will not show any changes to marking at the question level – if question level information is required, you must request an EAR2S Review of Marking, plus a photocopy of your reviewed script or EAR2PS Review of Marking, plus a photocopy of your reviewed script service.
All reviews of marking include a copy of the reviewed script.
