post results services

Post Results Services (JCQ) or Enquiry About Results, to use Cambridge International’s descriptor, is the process by which a candidate can query/challenge the grade(s) they have been awarded, following marking and moderation by Awarding Organisations.

Prior to any Post Results Service request, a candidate must provide their written consent for clerical re-checks and reviews of marking after the publication of results. Access to these services can only be made via the centre where you sat your examination(s) and typically incur a fee, per paper, to cover the cost levied by the AO for lodging your enquiry and associated centre administration costs. Post Results Service options available, with their associated fees, can be found in our Fees List.

Pearson Edexcel have produced a useful guide to Post Results Services which you can view here

If you require more detailed information on Post Results services and what options are available to you (for AQA, Eduqas, Pearson Edexcel and OCR Awarding Organisations) you can view the JCQ document here

Alternatively, Cambridge International publish a separate Enquiries About Results guide here

We will inform you how to submit a Post Results Service request, should you wish to do so, via the arch portal each time we issue examination series results.
