Review of Results (RoRs)

A Review of Results services offer a clerical re-check and/or a review of marking

Service 1 (RoR1): Clerical Re-Check 

This service is a re-check of all clerical procedures leading to the issue of a result. There will be no change to your final grade. This service will include the following checks:

  • That all parts of the script have been marked
  • The totalling of marks
  • The recording of marks

Service 2 (RoR2): Post-results Review of Marking

The review will determine if the agreed mark scheme has been applied correctly and a re-check of the clerical procedures as detailed in Service 1 (RoR1).

It is essential to note that if a review is carried out there are three possible outcomes:

  • Your original grade may be lowered
  • Your original grade is confirmed as the same
  • Your original grade is raised

Access to Scripts

Students can request access to their marked script(s).

If you are happy with your results and do not wish to carry out a review of marking you may request a copy of your script to be returned. Please note non-priority scripts may be used for teaching and learning purposes. If a request for a non-priority script is made, you cannot then submit a request for a review of marking.  A consent form must be signed before requesting a script.
