GCSEs, AS levels or A levels
You can ask your school or college to request a review from the exam board.
Other qualifications
You can ask your school, college or training provider to review the results of any other qualification, for example a BTEC or an NVQ.
If you’re not satisfied with the outcome, you can appeal directly to the awarding organisation. They’ll send you a final report after they’ve reviewed the result.
If you think the awarding organisation did not deal with your appeal correctly, you can complain to Ofqual.
