Ahead of results day the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) has reminded A-level and GCSE students of their right to see details of how their exams were marked.
Under the Data Protection Act students can ask to see information including:
A breakdown of their marks
Examiners’ comments
Minutes of examination appeals panels
Details of how to request the information can be found on our
exam results page.
David Smith, Deputy Commissioner and Director of Data Protection, said:
“The Data Protection Act gives students the right to see some exam related material. The information may not lead to their grades being altered, but it could help them to make important decisions about their future, such as whether to re-sit an exam.”
