The early release of GCE results is causing chaos for our
Exams Office at a time when we are frantically trying to
complete the Summer entries and prepare for the expected
Results day on Thursday.
The office is beseiged by students querying their Edexcel
results e.g. "Why have I got an X?"
or "Why isn't my History result listed?" - the answer to
that being that the Option Codes weren't sent with the early
release so our MIS system doesn't know where to put them.
Early release has NOT been helpful!
