Please select syllabus infringement details below for either face-to-face exams or digital grade and diplomas exams.
All exams are assessed on the basis of the performance given on the day of the exam, without regard to any external circumstances. If a candidate does not comply with exam regulations as detailed in the appropriate syllabus – examples below – the performance will be heard without prejudice by the examiner in order not to jeopardise the performance of other aspects of the exam.
The issue with the performance may be reported directly to Trinity’s London office by the examiner rather than on the candidate’s report form, so that Trinity may be able to exercise a certain amount of discretion as to the validity of the assessment process. Depending on the severity of the infringement, marks may be deducted, or, in extreme cases, the exam may be invalidated.
The outcome of referred exams will be communicated to the Trinity representative for disclosure to the candidate as soon as possible after the matter has been considered by Trinity. To ensure that all candidates are treated fairly, infringements of a similar type are always treated in the same way. Referral decisions are final and marks will not be reinstated.
Please note that the referral process may take up to 6 weeks to complete, depending on the complexity of the issue. The timeframe is taken from the date of receipt of the original report form at Trinity’s London office.

In some cases, a candidate may be notified (via email) that their exam has been referred through the marking process.
There are two main reasons why an exam will be referred:
Please note that the referral process may take up to 6 weeks to complete (and sometimes longer), depending on the complexity of the issue and the time it takes for the candidate to respond. This timeframe is approximate and commences when the examiner first reviews the exam submission to commence marking.
Please note that any exams with entire missing components (eg missing pieces or missing technical work) will not be referred, but will be marked as presented.
Please note that the written programme must be included with the submission of the video for Diploma exams. Candidates will not be given the opportunity to upload this at a later date and it will result in a loss of marks.
