Ofqual makes changes to exam reviews and appeals
A number of changes have been made by Ofqual to the way exams will be reviewed and appealed.
As part of these changes, the exams regulator has decided to introduce the requirement for exam boards to make marked GCSE scripts available before their deadline for requesting a review of marking.
In addition to this, exam boards will have to give reasons for review of marking decisions automatically for the summer 2020 exams series and onwards.
Learners will be given the ability to request results of centre-marked assessments from the summer of 2018.
A final decision regarding extending the grounds for appeal will be taken this spring.
