GCSE Results Day - FAQs
Questions | Answer |
---|---|
When and how are results released? |
GCSE results will be ready for collection from the RTS Assembly Hall from 09:00am to 10:30am on Thursday 22 August. Staff will be available to assist on the day. In the event of a student being unable to collect their results in person, a statement of results will be distributed to the student's Arbor email account. Results cannot be sent to parents/guardians. |
Can I get my results early? | We cannot distribute results any earlier than 09:00 on Thursday 22 August. |
What post results services are available? | Please see these slides for an explanation of all post results services. |
How do I apply for post results services? |
Please fill in the Post Results Request Form 2024. Responses will be monitored daily by the Exams team. Should the papers requested for clerical re-checks and reviews of marking not meet the criteria, you will be informed by a member of the Exams team via email. Should your request meet the criteria, you will receive a confirmation email that the post results service requested has been applied for. A reminder that a review of marking is not a remark of the paper |
What is the wait time for each Post Results Service? |
|
What criteria must I meet to apply for a clerical re-check or review of marking? | Students must be within 2 marks of the upper grade boundary in order to qualify for a review of marking. Once a request is submitted via the Google form, the Exams team will review the marks received for each paper requested against the grade boundaries. A reminder that marks can go down as well as up. |
What are the deadlines for each service? |
|
Can I appeal a decision? | Appeals can only be made to the exam boards under extenuating circumstances. This can only be done once a review of marking has been applied for and an outcome received. If you believe you have grounds for an appeal against a decision made by the exam board, fill in the Post Results Request Form 2024. |
I think my results are wrong; what should I do? | Request the access to scripts service for the exams you believe have been marked incorrectly. From here, a clerical recheck or review of marking can be requested should you notice any clerical errors (e.g. missing marks, incorrect marking). |
When are certificates issued? | Certificates are usually issued in November. An email will go to all students (not parents/guardians) when the certificates are ready for collection. |
