GCSE review of marks and clerical checks
We have changed the way we charge
In the past we charged by subject, so you paid the same fee for a
review of a candidate's English Literature (one paper) as you did for
a review of a candidate's French (up to four papers).
We have now made our pricing structure fairer and more
transparent so that:
- GCSE is charged by component – not by subject
- you only pay for the components you want reviewed
- it will be easier 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.
