The awarding body confirmed on Friday (February 28) that a total of 433 exam results from 2013 had been revised upwards following re-marking. The figure comprises 98 GCSE results, 285 AS level and 50 A level results.
A statement from OCR sought to assure “students, teachers and parents that exams being taken this year will not be affected”.
It added: “All schools with students affected have been informed and OCR has reviewed all of its 2013 examinations and uncovered no further problems.”
The mistakes were spotted in the marking of four GCE history and English units, and in the use of an incorrect code on other exam papers.
