The CCEA has set up a helpline to support worried students and parents, which will be in operation from 9.00am until 5.00pm, from Wednesday 15 until 28 August.
Martin Quinn, Head of Examinations Administration at CCEA, said: “Our dedicated team is on hand to offer support, guidance and advice to students and parents who have any concerns.”
“We also offer an accelerated re-marking service for GCE students and will ensure that any centres requesting to have students’ scripts re-marked have an outcome within 10 days.”
