Understanding your Results
Enquiries About Results (EAR): If you were disappointed with your grade and you were close to the grade boundary, you can request to have a paper re-marked by asking the exams officer. If your University place relies on your grade and you want to get it re-marked (Priority EAR) you must do this with 1 week of getting your results or you will miss the opportunity.
The cost of an EAR is approximately £50.00, The cost of a Priority EAR is approximately £65.00, both are payable on request by the candidate.
Understanding GCSE grades
The Department of Education has issued guidelines to support parents and students. It breaks down the new grading system and gives the new scale with some context with regard to the old A-G grades.
