The deadline imposed on exam boards for completing a Priority Review of Marking is 15 calendar days, although they are often quicker than that. When did your school / college submit the request to the exam board?

Assuming your school sent it off on results day, then the 15 calendar day deadline is up on Friday 29th (if I've got my date arithmetic right). However, then don't normally use all 15 calendar days, so hopefully you get a response before then. Has your firm university given you a deadline?

in an email i sent asking to be let in on a near miss they said if i have requested a remark my school needs to send results by the 31st but thats a sunday so im assuming ill probably have to have sent it by friday. idk why its taking so long from what ive seen online ocr is usually relatively quick :frown: i emailed my school again today asking for updates just in case they forgot to send or something
