IGCSE Post-Results Services: Re-Mark and Recheck

After IGCSE results are released, both Cambridge and Edexcel offer post-results services so you can request a clerical check or re-mark if you think something is wrong.

Types of Service

• Clerical recheck: Marks are checked for addition and transfer errors. No re-marking; lower fee.
• Re-mark (review of marking): A second examiner looks at your script. Grade can go up or down; higher fee.
• Priority re-mark: Faster re-mark for urgent cases (e.g. university deadline); extra fee.

How to Request

• School candidates: Through your school; the school submits to the board.
• Private candidates: Through your exam centre (e.g. British Council).
• Deadline: Usually within 2–4 weeks of results—don’t miss it.
• Fees: Per component; often refunded if the grade goes up.

Before You Request

• Re-marks can lower your grade; only request if you have a strong reason (e.g. big difference from your expected performance or from other components).
• Clerical check is low risk (no re-marking) and can be worth trying if you suspect an adding-up error.
