Mark submission

For ICT, marks must be submitted via Edexcel Online. For all other subject areas, you may choose your preferred method of mark submission:

• Edexcel Online: To submit marks using Edexcel Online, the relevant centre user must be given access. This should be specified by the administrator who is responsible for creating new accounts. You can find more information within Edexcel Online and by referring to Managing your Edexcel Online account.

• EDI (available for all subject areas except ICT): You can also submit marks via EDI using the Coursework Mark File format. For information on the use of this file type, please consult your centre MIS (management information system) provider.

Sample identification

For ICT, please log on to Edexcel Online to view the selected sample. (This is available before the submission of marks, as with all other subjects.) You must also refer to the detailed additional information about samples in Section 5 of the document ‘Moderation of eportfolios: guidance for centres’, available on the GCE Applied ICT page of the website under 'Assessment Materials' and then 'Guidance for centres'. 

For all other subject areas, candidates whose work is required for sampling will be identified on Edexcel Online and on the OPTEMS form.

Please note that even when the highest- and lowest-marked candidates are not identified as part of the sample, they should still be included in the sample sent to the moderator. There are other instances in which candidates’ coursework should be manually included in the sample; please refer to the detailed documents for each subject.
