In April, Kaplan commissioned an independent review of the SQE1 reissued results. The independent review was undertaken by Anne Pinot de Moira, a chartered statistician with over 25 years of experience working in the fields of assessment and education. She is an Honorary Norham Fellow at the Department of Education, University of Oxford.

Before reissuing the results to candidates on 15 April, thorough checks were completed and the calculations were reviewed in detail by Kaplan. The review by Ms Pinot de Moira was commissioned to provide independent verification and reassurance to all candidates of the accuracy of the reissued marks.

This review has now been completed and has concluded that the reissued results are accurate. This includes individual marks, quintiles and overall pass/fail outcomes.

Kaplan is also commissioning a wider independent review of the incident and its causes so we can learn from this and take steps to ensure this does not happen again.
