Available from results day, Active Results is our free results analysis service that helps you review exam performance.

You can review reports on the performance of individual candidates, cohorts, your whole school and national data. You can also analyse results at question item level and identify trends across your centre, which could inform decisions about pursuing an enquiry about results.

We've recently updated the service to make it more user friendly with enhanced accessibility, speed, and performance. Check out our handy factsheet showing the improvements and benefits.
