Moderation review (service 3)
Post-results services not available in summer 2021
There will not be normal post-results services in summer 2021, except for Functional Skills where some exams have gone ahead.
If you’re unhappy with your results, see our page on Appeals for Summer 2021.
When we review the moderation of an internally assessed non-exam assessment (NEA) mark, we’ll check to make sure the assessment criteria were applied fairly, reliably and consistently.
It’s only available for whole subjects, not individual students. Private candidates can request it, but only for certain specifications and when the work has been assessed by a moderator.
Fees
The review is free if your school’s original marks are re-instated. Otherwise, we charge a fee regardless of whether the marks changed.
For five or fewer students, the fee is halved.
- £225.80 per unit/component for GCSE, AQA Certificates (except Level 3), ELC, FCSE, Functional Skills, FSMQ foundation and higher, Level 1 and Level 2 projects
- £251.60 per unit/component for AS, A-level, FSMQ advanced level, Level 3 Extended project and AQA Certificate Level 3 Applied General qualifications.

How long it takes
A moderation review takes up to 35 calendar days from when the moderator receives the original sample from your school/college.
What happens next
We’ll email your school/college's exams officer when your moderation review outcome is available on e-AQA.
We'll send an additional feedback form to the school/college after the moderation review outcome is available.
