Post-Results Services

If you have a query about your results, you should contact your centre (school/college) about using the Post Results service. All applications for this must come from your centre. CCEA cannot accept requests from candidates or parents/carers/guardians.

If you are an external candidate, you should contact the centre where you sat your exams to submit a Post Results request.

The following services are available through your centre:

Clerical Recheck

You can apply for a clerical recheck of your script. This service checks that all parts of the script have been marked, and the marks are recorded and totalled correctly. This may result in a change to your mark/grade, up or down.

Review of Marking

You can apply for a review of marking to ensure the mark is accurate and it may result in a change to your mark/grade, up or down.

Access to Script

You can apply for an access to your examination script. You can apply for a copy of your script before having a review of marking or accompanying a review of marking once it has taken place. You can also request a copy of your script for Teaching and Learning purposes. These scripts are subject to additional quality assurance checks which may result in a change to your mark/grade, up or down.

The costs and deadlines for the Post Results services can be found in CCEA’s Post Results Services Summary Document.

Your centre has information about the marks you achieved in each component or unit you sat with CCEA and the grade boundaries for each of these. Where your mark lies in relation to these grade boundaries may affect your decision as to whether or not you should apply for a review of marking. You should contact your centre for advice. Your teachers and your Head of Centre are the best people to advise you. All requests for a review of marking must be submitted by your centre.

Yes, CCEA offers an access to scripts service (as outlined above in 5.2). Contact your centre to make the application for you.

Please note the following:

• Once you request access, your script will be subject to additional quality assurance checks which may result in a change to your mark/grade. Please bear this in mind before requesting access to a script.

Be aware of the different types of access to script services available: before a review of marking; accompanying a review of marking; for teaching and learning. There are different application dates and receipt dates for each of these. Please discuss these with your centre to determine which service best suits your requirements.

The costs and deadlines for Access to script can be found in CCEA’s Post Results Services Summary Document.

Each service has a charge. To view full information on all charges see CCEA’s Post Results Services Summary Document.

The outcome of a clerical check will be reported to your centre within 10 calendar days of receiving your request.

The outcome of the review of marking will be reported to your centre within 20 calendar days of CCEA receiving your request.

All outcomes of review of marking/clerical checks enquiries are returned to centres and not directly to candidates.

If you request a Review of marking, Clerical check or Access to script and it results in a mark change, the new mark will be reported to your centre. If this change of marks in turn leads to a change of grade, you will be issued with a new statement of results which reflects this change. Your certificate will also carry the new grade.

Candidates should be advised before using any Post Results service that marks and grades can go up or down compared to the original provisional mark and grade reported.

A fee will not be charged for these services in the following circumstances:

• If the Review of marking results in a change to an overall subject grade (up or down) when a candidate has cashed-in no charge will apply to any units requested for the subject.
• If the Review results in a change to the notional unit grade (up or down). No charge will apply to the individual unit only.
