Due to the structure of the various vocational qualifications, it is only possible to grant special consideration to Cambridge Technicals timetabled examinations. Applications must be submitted via the special consideration online portal on Interchange.
If a candidate has been disadvantaged by sitting the wrong paper then you will need to apply for special consideration as ‘absent’ for the paper they missed. Keep the original entry if it was correct before the wrong paper was taken. Do not change entries to match the wrong paper. Approval is subject to meeting the minimum requirements for enhanced grading and being in a position to certificate, as indicated above.
If a candidate leaves the exam early and you are applying for special consideration then please let us know how long they were present for, as well as the duration of the overall exam.
If an application you have made has been rejected when you expected it to have been accepted, contact the special requirements team at srteam@ocr.org.uk and they will review the outcome. Some applications are automatically rejected by the online system.
Please note that, following the publication of results, applications will only be accepted in the most exceptional circumstances and must be submitted before the deadline for reviews of results for the respective examination series.
A member of the senior leadership team must produce compelling evidence to support a late application.
An application for special consideration cannot be submitted after the completion of a review of results.
