Welcome to Long Road Sixth Form College
Summer 2017 Post Result Services

As you proceed you will have the option to pay using your credit or debit card - the same deadline applies to both methods of payment.

Take extra care making your exam selections as no refunds can be given after requests have been submitted and no services will be presented until full amount is paid – there is no facility to pay in instalments.

NB: if you are considering requesting a review of marking because you are dissatisfied with your examination grade, please bear in mind the following:

• Consider your predicted grades, ongoing assessment provided by your teacher(s), mock exam results and any advice or expectations you had about what you were realistically going to achieve. If your result is way off what you expected and how well you think the exam(s) in the subject went, then you may be right to consider a review of marking.

• Exam boards will only change a grade due to errors, or if marking is out of tolerance when reviewing papers. Reviewers will not re-mark scripts: the service is a post-results review of the original marking to ensure that the agreed mark scheme has been applied correctly. Adjustments will not be made due to minor differences in professional opinion (e.g. slightly firmer or slightly softer marking).

• Your marks could be lowered following the outcome of a review and your overall grade could go down.

• Requests for a review of marking is expensive (see the links below for details).

• Grades awarded by the Exam Boards are only occasionally increased. The college’s experience is that exam boards have rarely changed marks in the past and have put systems in place to reduce the number of changes considerably in the past year or so. However, they have improved the quality and checking of marking.

• The services are available for written papers of both modular and linear specifications. Coursework and practical elements cannot be reviewed and have already been checked and moderated.
