Assessment and Qualifications Alliance (AQA)

To trace details of your past examination results you will need to know which examination body your exams were taken through.

This has been simplified by the creation of the Assessment and Qualifications Alliance (AQA) in 2000.

AQA hold records for the following examination bodies before 2000;

AQA Manchester;

Joint Matriculation Board (JMB), Northern Examinations Assessment Board (NEAB) and Northern Examining Association (NEA)

AQA Guildford;

Associated Examining Board (AEB) and Southern Examining Group (SEG)


From 2000 onwards exam results for AQA are split by region between AQA Manchester and AQA Guildford. The exam results for Yorkshire are held at AQA Manchester.

Further information relating to AQA can be found on the AQA website.
