Exam Tips - on Exam Day
Exam Tips – On Exam Day
- Make sure you have all the equipment you need for your exam in a transparent pencil case.
- Arrive outside your exam room at least 15 minutes before the start time identified on your timetable.
- Check the seating plan outside the exam room to make sure there are no last minute changes. Make sure you sit in the correct seat.
- Learn your candidate number.
- You may bring a drink of water to the exam room but make sure it is in a clear bottle with no label.
- Do not bring any food into the exam room.
- Do not bring mobile phones, iPods, mp3 players, watches, AirPods, smart glasses, earphones/earbuds/headphones or any other smart devices into the exam room. If you forget, ensure they are switched off and handed to an invigilator before you take your seat.
- All personal belongings, such as coats and bags etc, will not be allowed in the exam room and must be kept in the designated area or your locker.
- If you need assistance, raise your hand – an invigilator will help.
- If you’re too ill to attend an exam, your parent/carer must inform the school office before 8.30am on the day. You will not be permitted to sit the exam on another day, so it is recommended that you try to get a doctor’s note to the Exams Officer can try to apply for Special Consideration on your behalf.
- If you are delayed, you must contact the school as soon as possible. Students who arrive very late may still be permitted to sit the exam, but a report must be sent to the Exam Board and they could refuse to accept your work. You must report to reception upon arrival.
- If you have any worries or questions about any aspect of your exams please see the Exams Officer, Mrs Emma Harris. This short animated video offers additional guidance on how to be prepared for your written exams: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sifbrx9_do4

Special Consideration
Your performance in an exam can sometimes be affected by adverse circumstance, such as recent bereavement or recent illness. Exam Boards do make allowances in certain situations providing the school has appropriate supporting evidence. Please speak to the Exams Officer, Mrs Emma Harris, as soon as possible if you think this may apply to you.
Results
Students will be able to collect their results on the morning of the results days. Students will be sent information regarding these dates and times and they will also be listed on our social media platforms. Results will only be issued to the student to whom they belong. For those students unable to collect their results in person, results will be emailed out later in the day.
Certificates
You will be notified by school when certificates are available to collect. For students that leave the school and no longer have access to school email addresses, notifications of the dates they are available for collection will be posted on social media. Certificates for the summer exams are usually ready for collection by the beginning of December.
If you are unable to collect your certificates in person, a relative or a friend can collect them for you, please email the Exams Officer, Mrs Emma Harris, giving permission for a named individual to collect your certificates on your behalf. That person must bring photo ID with them.
Exam certificates are extremely important legal documents – please keep them safe. If you lose your certificates you will need to contact the Exam Boards directly to arrange for a replacement.

Where you are unable to collect your results in person, you may assign an alternative person to collect them on your behalf. You will need to write to us (eharris@sandbachhigh.co.uk) and let us know in advance the name of the individual who will be collecting your results. Your assigned person will need to bring photo ID with them on the day.
Alternatively, exam results will be available for students in the Exams section on Edulink. Please note, for GDPR purposes, exam results will only be available on the Student’s Edulink account.
Results will also be emailed out to your school email account at some point in the afternoon of your results day.
Post Results Services
There are a number of post results services available to you:
- You can request Access to Scripts which will allow you to see your marked work.
- You can ask for a Clerical Check where the accuracy of the adding up of your marks will be checked.
- You can ask for a Review of Marking where the exam board will check the marking scheme has been applied correctly.
It is important to note marks and/or grades can go UP OR DOWN OR REMAIN THE SAME.
For Access to Script requests, you must complete and submit Appendix B (Access to Scripts).
For Clerical Check or Review of Marking requests, you must complete and submit Appendix A (Review of Marking).
Both these forms can be found below in the download section of this page.
Please note you (the candidate) must give consent for any request to proceed.
The Exam Boards have strict deadlines for these requests. The deadlines for the November 2024 GCSE Resit series are:
- For Access to Script requests, you must complete and submit Appendix B by noon on Thursday 13th February 2025.
- For Clerical Check or Review of Marking requests, you must complete and submit Appendix A by noon on Thursday 13th February 2025.

It is important to note that you would be charged for each paper for which you request a Clerical Check or a Review of Marking.
If you request Access to Scripts, you will receive a copy of your exam paper, if you wish it to be looked at by your teacher(s), you will need to approach them to do this. It will not be forwarded to your teacher(s) automatically and does not form part of the process. Please note, staff may not be able to accommodate this request ahead of the deadline for a Clerical Check / Review of Marking if insufficient notice is given.
Parent/carer email addresses are requested in relation to payment queries. Copies of exam scripts and/or results of Clerical Checks / Reviews of Marking will only be shared with candidates for data protection purposes.
A hard copy of the completed form, or an electronic copy of the completed form should be submitted to the Exams Officer in school, or via email (eharris@sandbachhigh.co.uk) no later than the deadlines stated above. For us to accept an electronic copy of the form, it must be signed by the student or sent from the student’s school email address.
As we are a cashless school, payment should be made either via Bank Transfer. When paying via Bank Transfer please use the details provided in the letter below and ensure you check you have chosen the correct amount appropriate to the exam board and post-result service you require.
Once both the form and payment have been received, the Exams Officer will make the request to the exam board. The exam boards advise it can take up to 20 working days to receive a response to a request for a Review of Marking.
Should you have any further queries, please do not hesitate to contact me on eharris@sandbachhigh.co.uk.
