Internal Assessment Mark Input System Step-by-Step Guide
Our Internal Assessment: A Guide for Centres document contains all the necessary information centres will require relating to internal assessment, including:
Deadlines
A full list of deadlines can be found in our Internal Assessment: A Guide for Centres document, as well as in the relevant documentation published within our Key Dates and Timetables page.
Input, Submit and Amend Internal Assessment Marks
Detailed guidance and instructions on the input, submission, and amendment of internal assessment marks/outcomes, can be found in our Internal Assessment: A Guide for Centres document and our Internal Assessment Mark Input System Step-by-Step Guide.
It is a JCQ requirement that before submitting marks, centres must ensure that they have followed their internal appeals procedure.
Candidates must be informed of their centre assessed marks so that they may request a review of the centre’s marking before marks are submitted to WJEC. Further information is available on the JCQ website.
Centres input and submit internal assessment marks/outcomes via IAMIS. Exams Officer and Admin users have automatic access to IAMIS. Other users can request access from their centre’s Exams Officer and/or Admin users.
Alternatively, internal assessment marks/outcomes can be submitted by EDI. EDI files take up to 72 hours to process at which point IAMIS will be pre-populated with the submitted marks/outcomes.
Centres must still then access IAMIS to submit the marks/outcomes to WJEC. Further information about EDI submission is available from our IT Helpdesk, who can be contacted at ithelpdesk@wjec.co.uk and 029 2026 5169.
Once a centre has submitted their marks, a moderation sample is generated, and moderator details are displayed on IAMIS.
Submitting moderation samples
Some subjects require the completion and submission of covers sheets and declaration forms. These must be completed for all candidates not only those in the sample, and can be located on the home page of each relevant subject.
Some subjects require the electronic submission of work. Further information, including the subjects involved, is available on our e-submission upload page.
Full details of the process including submission deadlines and subject-specific information is available in our Internal Assessment: A Guide for Centres document. Despatch stationery is provided on the basis of preliminary entries. If you require additional stationery, please email despatchqueries@wjec.co.uk.
