GCSE review marking

[MagC]

Which exam review marking should I pay? AQA? Edexcel? Or WJEC?

Are you looking to get a review of marking for a subject? You need to find out which exam board your child took the GCSE with. It should say this on the results slip, or you could check with the school.

It has to be done through the school/exam centre. The student who took the exam will need to contact the exams officer and say they would like a paper to have a marking review. They are likely to have to complete a form and may be asked to pay the school/exam centre at that point.

You need to liaise with your school's exam officer if you want any of your YP's gcse grades reviewed. They would be the ones asking the exam board to do so and they will take payment from you to submit to the exam board

Depends on the board your dc sat which may doffer by subject, but agree reviews go through the exams officer of the school/centre.

Thank you so much.

In reviews of marking, grades can go down as well as up.
The safest (and usually cheapest) approach is to first request Access to Scripts (ATS), then have them reviewed by someone with enough subject knowledge to compare with the mark scheme.
If the mark is fair and/or close to the boundary with the grade below it's safest to leave it and don't request a review of marking - it's more likely to go down than up. But if marks have been deducted not in accord with the mark scheme or it's close to the boundary with the grade above, with some chance of going up, it may be then worth requesting a review of marking.
The question that is asked in a review of marking is whether the original marking was justified/reasonable. It's not a full re-mark. Only in cases where the original marking was unreasonable / not in accord with the mark scheme will it be revised.
Also note that in many cases even if the mark goes up, the fees for the review of marking will not be refunded unless the grade goes up.
