Remark of A level exam people

Hi there

I don't know if I'm being stupid, but im confused on what the difference is between a review of marking and a review of marking with a photocopied script ??

I'm just looking to get my paper remarked as I am 1 mark off the next grade.

Thank you!

Both include a Review of Marking, which is the service you need - so either will work. Some exam boards include a copy of your marked/reviewed exam paper (which they call a "script" for no obvious reason) automatically. It sounds like your exam board (which one is it?) don't, so you need to decide whether or not you want that.

Another option, although you might be too tight on time (depending on your exam board) is to use the separate Access to Script service first. You can then go through your marked answers with your teacher and decide which paper(s) are more likely to gain a mark if your went ahead with the Review of Marking. Some exam boards provide your school with instant access to your script online, whilst for other you need to wait for it.

The deadline for the exam board receiving your Review of Marking request is 25 September. This is a hard deadline - so don't miss it. (Check with your school when they need to receive your request in order that they can forward it to your exam board in time.)

Hi There

Thank you so much for replying and yes I have already done the free bit where you get the script back and your teachers look at it. So would you recommend I just get the review of marking as im just confused on what the difference is between the review of marking and review of marking with a photocopied script, im getting remarked a OCR English Paper and two AQA Psychology Papers as im only 1 mark off the next grade in English and two marks off in psychology

Thank you so much for your help :smile:

Well, neither AQA nor OCR offer a "review of marking with a photocopied script" service, so I suspect that the "with a photocopied script" part is your school / college taking the standard "Review of Marking" service and bolting-on a photocopy of the script themselves. I'd skip it and just go for the standard "Review of Marking" service myself.

You can see a list of AQA's services here, and a list of OCR's services here.

Ahh okay, thank you so much and yes this is what the school showed us, so just the normal review of marking then just to check ? :smile:.

Yes, just the normal Review of Marking. That would be my choice.
