GCSE review of marks and clerical checks

  • GCSE is charged by component – not by subject
  • you only pay for the components you want reviewed
  • it should be easy for you to calculate the cost of a request and thus to accurately inform parents.
AQA does not charge for:
  • any mark review or clerical check which leads to a change of specification grade/module grade. You will be charged if there is no grade change
  • a review of moderation where your centre marks are re-instated. In all other cases, the full review of moderation fee will be charged whether or not specification grades or module grades change
  • stage 1 and stage 2 appeals which you win.

Fees will always be charged when scripts are requested separately via Access to Scripts.
