Access to Scripts (ATS): •
Copies of scripts to support reviews of marking.
• Copies of scripts to support teaching and learning. Where a concern is expressed that a particular result may not be accurate, the centre will look at the marks awarded for each component part of the qualification alongside any mark schemes, relevant result reports, grade boundary information, etc. when made available by the awarding organisation to determine if the centre supports any concerns. For written components that contributed to the final result, the centre will: 1. Where a place a university or college is at risk, consider supporting a request for a Priority Service 2 review of marking (where the qualification concerned is eligible for this service) 2. In all other instances, consider accessing the script by: a) requesting a priority copy of the learner’s script to support a review of marking by the awarding organisation deadline, or b) (where the option is made available by the awarding organisation) viewing the learner’s marked script online to consider if requesting a review of marking is appropriate. 3. Collect informed written consent/permission from the learner to access their script. 4. On access to the script, consider if it is felt that the agreed mark scheme has been applied correctly in the original marking and if the centre considers there are any errors in the marking. 5. Support a request for the appropriate RoR service (clerical re-check or review of marking) if any error is identified. 6. Collect informed written consent from the learner to request the RoR service before the request is submitted. 7. Where relevant, advise an affected learner to inform any third party (such as a university or college) that a review of marking has been submitted to an awarding organisation. Written learner consent (informed consent via learner email is acceptable) is required in all cases before a request for a RoR service 1 or 2 (including priority service 2) is submitted to the awarding organisation. Consent is required to confirm the learner understands that the final subject grade and/or mark awarded following a clerical re-check or a review of marking, and any subsequent appeal, may be lower than, higher than, or the same as the result which was originally awarded. Learner consent must only be collected after the publication of results.
