Hartismere School

Once you've received your results, you may wish to have your marks reviewed. There are three options available:

• Access to scripts - an electronic version of your script can be emailed to you, usually within 48 hours.
• Service 1 - a clerical check. The marks are added up again and checked against the board’s database. A check is then made that the correct grade was awarded. Your script is not reviewed. This usually takes one or two weeks.
• Service 2 - a review of marking. Includes: a clerical re-check, a second examiner will review the paper/recording again to identify genuine marking errors or unreasonable marking and make sure all the marks are counted. Your grade can go down as well as up. This usually takes one or two weeks.

You should get advice from your subject teachers before making a decision:

• They have a full breakdown of your marks and can look at your script.
• They may have already requested a remark if they have any concerns.

Historically, about a quarter of reviews are successful usually by only one or two marks.

IMPORTANT: Your marks and grade can go down as a result of a remark.

Service 1 and Service 2 incur a fee that is set by the Awarding Bodies. Please attach a cheque payable to Hartismere School, cash, or contact our finance department for other options.

Fees are per paper, not per subject. For example: to remark 3 mathematics papers costs three times the unit fee.

If the outcome results in a change of grade the fee is waived and your payment will be refunded.

Application forms for remarks are available below.
