Mock Exam Marking

Overview

You can have your attempts at the currently available Assignments or Mock Exams marked by ActEd. If you wish to submit your script for marking in a subject and have purchased marking for the current session, but only have a previous year's version of the mock exam, then you can request a copy of the current mock exam in that subject free of charge. In relation to the Additional Mock Pack (AMP), you will need to have purchased sufficient marking voucher to cover all the papers in the AMP if you wish to have all of them marked.

You can buy Series X Marking, Series Y Marking, and/or Mock Exam Marking for a specified subject (eg Subject CM2) for the current exam sitting (eg April 2025). You will not be able to defer this marking to a future exam sitting. By submitting your scripts in line with our published recommended submission dates, you will make steady progress through the course. Marking Vouchers are transferable between sittings, so you may wish to choose these over Mock Exam Marking if you require additional flexibility.

Mock Exam Marking is only available for the main Mock Exam included in the CMP, not Mock Exams 2 or 3 (contained in the Additional Mock Pack) but Marking Vouchers may be used instead.

When marking your scripts, we aim to provide specific advice to improve your chances of success in the exam and feedback on your understanding of the material. We aim to return scripts as soon as possible, but you should be aware that scripts submitted around the time of the final deadlines may have a significantly slower turnaround time than usual.

Marking Deadlines

Recommended submission dates and final deadline dates for Series Marking and Mock Exams are given on the assignment deadlines page - if you miss the final deadline date for the Mock Exam, your script will not be marked.

If you are using Marking Vouchers to submit your Mock exam papers for marking, you need to adhere to the explicit Marking Voucher deadlines in each session to ensure your script is returned before the date of the exam.

If you book Mock Exam Marking in a particular session, you will not be able to defer the marking to a future exam sitting.

Solutions to Mock Exams

We typically provide full solutions with Assignments and the Mock Exam (either in print or via The Hub for the computer-based exams). However, if you order Mock Exam Marking at the same time as you order the Mock Exam, you can choose whether or not to receive a copy of the solutions in advance. If you choose not to receive them with the study material, you will be given access to them when your marked script is returned to you in The Hub (or following the final deadline date if you do not submit a script).

Submitting Mock Exams

If you have purchased marking, to submit your script you will need to upload it to the relevant place in your Hub account, but please read the instructions on the assignment or mock exam cover sheet before completing your assessment.

Unless you are using a Marking Voucher, any scripts received by ActEd after the final deadline date will not be marked. It is your responsibility to ensure that your script is submitted to The Hub by this deadline date.

Your script will be allocated to the next available marker and will be returned to you via The Hub. We encourage markers to mark scripts quickly, but you should be aware that scripts submitted around the time of the final deadlines may have a significantly slower turnaround time than usual.
