Interpreting Your Results
On this page
2.1 Why does my final uniform mark not equal the sum of my unit uniform marks?
For A ’Level resit candidates only - when taking your AS unit(s) in 2022 you may have chosen to omit a unit of assessment or completed all units. To accommodate these alternative routes for candidates resitting A2 in Summer 2024, your Provisional Statement of Results may have some differences.

2.3 What does Q, U or X Grade mean?
|
Q |
means query. There may be circumstances when your results are incomplete because of a query over some or all of your results. If this is the case, a Q will be reported on your provisional statement of Results until the query is investigated and resolved. Once a query is resolved, you will be issued with an updated result. |
|---|---|
|
X |
means incomplete results. This could be because requirements of the specification have not been met, or you were fully absent for all units/components within a qualification. |
|
U |
means unclassified. This means you have not reached the minimum standard required to achieve a grade in the qualification or have zero marks. This result will not be recorded on your certificate. |
2.4 My name has been mis-spelt on my statement of results. Can I get this changed?
Yes. Please ask the Examinations Officer at your centre to contact our Entries section to make this change. It is essential that your Examinations Officer contacts us as soon as possible before the certificates are issued. After your certificate is issued it may not be possible to change the name on it.
