Special consideration isn't recorded on your results sheet. The score you achieved on the impacted papers is adjusted upwards (by between 1% and 5%, depending on severity of the situation). Then the grade is assigned. That's the grade you see on your results sheet.

But how do you know this as been applied without any conformation. We was told it had been granted but would not know by what untill we got the results

Your exam centre (typically your school) can check on your behalf. The exact process will depend on the exam board.

For example, Pearson/Edexcel detail the procedure here ("How can I check whether Special Consideration has been applied to a learners grade?"). It allows the exam centre (school) to access a document like the one below, which contains SPEC CON note in the right-hand margin if applicable.

Unfortunately, AQA don't have anything like the technical sophistication of the other exam boards. I suggest that you ask your school to contact their Exams Officer Services team at [email protected] and ask for confirmation that special consideration was applied.

Although e-mail is clearly a fairly antiquated way of handling this, I've found the EOS team to be quick to respond to e-mails.

I received special consideration for some missed exams , it doesn’t show on my exam sheet at all and just looks as if i took the paper as normal.
