A review is the standard speed service for any student. A priority review is a quicker service for students whose place at a university or other higher educational institution depends on the outcome.
Access to a copy of marked scripts
This is a photocopy of the marked exam paper that you can use to decide whether to request a review of marking or a clerical check.
Don’t do this if your university place is pending, go straight to a priority review of marking instead.
Priority copies aren’t available for some externally assessed units, but you can request the candidate record form or marking grid instead.
Where available, a copy of the mark scheme will also be provided.
