Contact your school or college to challenge a GCSE, AS level or A level grade. They can request that the exam board reviews the marking of your exam entry.
If you’re a private candidate you can contact the exam board directly, or contact the school or college that submitted your exam entry.
You may have to pay a fee if you ask for a review and your grade is not changed as a result. Check with your school or college before they contact the exam board.
What happens next
The exam board will check your work for marking mistakes. Your mark may change if they find any.
If your mark changes your overall grade may also change. Your new grade could be higher or lower than the original.
If you still think there’s a mistake, you can ask your school or college to appeal the result. The exam board will then look at your work again and decide if your mark or grade needs correcting.
If you think the exam board did not handle your appeal properly, you can request a review from Ofqual.
Deadlines for reviews
