Pearson Edexcel International GCSE results for the May/June 2026 series reach students on Thursday 20 August 2026, from 08:00 BST — the same day as UK GCSE results. Schools receive results under embargo the day before, so your school controls exactly when and how you get yours.

How Your Results Reach You
Pearson sends results to your school or centre, not directly to you. Most schools share them on results day by email, a school portal, or in person. Ask your exams officer beforehand how and when yours will arrive.
Unlike some boards, Pearson has no central website where students log in for results — schools access them via ResultsPlus and pass them on. If your school offers its own results portal, that's the one to use.
Your results go to the centre where you sat the exams. Confirm with that centre before results day how they will pass them to you.
Official details are on the Pearson qualifications results & certification pages — but your school or exams officer is always the definitive source for your own arrangements.
The 9–1 Grade Scale
Edexcel International GCSEs are graded 9–1, with 9 the highest — the same scale as UK GCSEs:
What the numbers mean
- 9–7 broadly maps to the old A*–A
- 5 is a "strong pass", 4 a "standard pass"
- U means ungraded — below the minimum for grade 1
Grade boundaries
Boundaries are set after marking each series, so they move with paper difficulty. Pearson publishes the June 2026 boundaries on results day on its website — comparing your raw marks with old boundaries from past sessions is a guide, not a guarantee. See our guide to grade thresholds for how they're set and how to convert a raw mark.
After Results Day
Reviews of Marking
If you believe a paper was marked incorrectly, your school can request post-results services from Pearson:
- - Clerical re-check of marks
- - Review of marking by a senior examiner
- - Access to scripts (see your marked paper)
Requests go through your school, deadlines fall in late September. Grades can go down as well as up.
Retaking Exams
A key Edexcel advantage — you may not need to wait a full year:
- - January 2027 series: many International GCSE subjects (including Maths A and the sciences) can be retaken just months after results
- - June 2027 series: the full subject range
- - Entries are made through your school — January entry deadlines typically fall in October 2026
Subject availability in January varies — confirm with your exams officer which of your subjects offer it.
Frequently Asked Questions
When are Edexcel International GCSE June 2026 results released?
Thursday 20 August 2026, from 08:00 BST — the same day as UK GCSE results. Schools receive results under embargo the day before and decide how to share them with students, so confirm the exact arrangements with your exams officer.
Can I check my Edexcel results online myself?
Not directly from Pearson — there is no central student results website. Results go to your school or centre, which passes them to you by email, its own portal, or in person. Ask your school in advance how it will share them.
Is Edexcel results day the same as Cambridge results day?
Close but not the same. Cambridge IGCSE results come out on Tuesday 18 August 2026, Edexcel International GCSE results on Thursday 20 August 2026. If you take subjects with both boards, expect results on both days.
What grade counts as a pass?
On the 9–1 scale, grade 4 is a "standard pass" and grade 5 a "strong pass". Schools and sixth forms set their own entry requirements — many ask for 5s or 6s in subjects you want to continue at A Level.
When can I retake if I'm unhappy with a grade?
Many Edexcel International GCSE subjects — including Mathematics A and the sciences — offer a January 2027 series, so you can retake within months rather than waiting a year. Entries go through your school and January deadlines typically fall in October 2026. The full subject range runs again in June 2027.
Can I get a paper re-marked?
Yes — your school can request a clerical re-check, a review of marking, or access to your marked script through Pearson's post-results services. Deadlines fall in late September, and a reviewed grade can go down as well as up, so discuss it with your teachers first.
