This follows on from our consultation on Marking reviews, appeals, grade boundaries and Code of Practice.

We announced our decisions and published the analysis of that consultation on 26 May 2016. We are now consulting on the Conditions and guidance we propose to put in place to implement the changes.

There are three areas on which we are now consulting which were not included in our original consultation. These are:

  1. Piloting a new ground on which appeals can be made (challenge marking or moderation on the grounds of a Marking Error).
  2. Retaining specific requirements for exam boards to train original markers and moderators.
  3. Producing statutory guidance on how reviewers determine a Marking Error has been made.
