Description of services
| Clerical Re-Check | This service will include the following checks: • that all parts of the script have been marked • the totalling of marks • the recording of marks |
| Review of Marking | This is a post-results review of the original marking to ensure that the mark scheme has been applied correctly. Reviewers will not re-mark the script. They will only act to correct any errors identified in the original marking. This service includes a clerical re-check. |
| Priority Review of Marking | This is the same as Review of Marking, but conducted as a priority by the awarding body. This service is only available for A-level qualifications. |
| Access to Scripts | This is a priority service that ensures copies of scripts are returned in sufficient time to allow decisions to be made whether a non-priority review of marking should be applied for. |
