How will GCSE grades be awarded?
How GCSEs are assessed depends on the exact subject studied. It might only be based on exams, or there could be a coursework element as well. Each different assessment you've sat will have a weighting, and your final grade will be based on how you performed in each assessment, and what percentage each assessment was worth of your final grade. You'll receive a grade from 9-1, with 9 being the highest.
How will independent students’ GCSEs be decided?
Private candidates across England, Wales and Northern Ireland will be assessed in a similar way to students in schools and colleges.
When is GCSE results day 2023?
GCSE results day is on Thursday 24 August 2023.
How to appeal GCSE results
Students in England will be able to appeal their GCSE grades. You'll go through your school or college, who will check the paper and decide whether to ask for a remark. The appeal deadline is Thursday 28 September 2023.
If your place at university is dependent upon your appeal, let the university you hold a place with know that you're still waiting on a response to your appeal. To have your appeal prioritised, talk to your school, college or exam centre. The deadline for priority review is Thursday 7 September 2023.
