An awarding body’s decision to award special consideration will be based on various factors, which may vary from learner to learner and from one assessment to another. These factors may include the severity of the circumstances, and the date and nature of the assessment. 

What's on this page

Applying for special consideration.

For timetabled exams or for coursework, controlled, practical or oral assessments, you apply via the special consideration online portal on Interchange . 

If a candidate sits the wrong paper then you will need to apply for special consideration as ‘absent’ for the paper they missed. Approval is subject to the student certificating in the same series as the missed exam and meeting the minimum requirements for enhanced grading. Keep the original entry if it was correct before the wrong paper was taken. Do not change the entry to match the wrong paper. Please do not send the wrong paper to us – keep it in an envelope in your secure storage – just in case we need to request it later.

If a candidate leaves the exam early and you are applying for special consideration then please let us know how long they were present for, as well as the duration of the overall exam.  

If an application you have made has been rejected when you expected it to have been accepted , contact the special requirements team at [email protected] and they will review the outcome. Some applications are automatically rejected by the online system.

Please note, following the publication of results, applications will only be accepted in the most exceptional circumstances and must be submitted before the deadline for reviews of results for the respective examination series.

A member of the senior leadership team must produce compelling evidence to support a late application.

An application for special consideration cannot be submitted after the completion of a review of results.

Lost, partially lost or damaged internally assessed work

If all or part of a candidate’s work is lost or damaged through no fault of the candidate, please submit an application via the special consideration online portal on Interchange . 

If that is not possible, then complete and submit a Notification of Lost Centre Assessed Work (JCQ/LCW Form 15), which is available from the JCQ website . 

Marks should be submitted in the normal way and the moderator must be informed of the application.

Tips for using Special Consideration Online

You may find these tips helpful when making your application:

• When searching for a candidate, try searching using one field – the more fields you enter, the less likely you'll return any results.
• If you can't find an individual candidate, try using the ‘multiple candidate’ option which will list all candidates entered for a component or unit (and then just select the one candidate you need).
• If you need to submit an application for a number of students affected by the same reason and for the same unit, please use the ‘multiple candidate’ option. If you have more than 10 candidates, there will be more than one page so make sure you select all the candidates you need to.

If you have any queries, please contact the OCR special requirements team at [email protected] .

Statement of recognition

Where a candidate has been fully prepared and entered for one of our qualifications but has encountered exceptional mitigating circumstances beyond their control and is unable to sit any of our set examinations/assessments, please contact our special requirements team. We can advise you of the process and the information required. Based on this information, we may issue a statement of recognition. A statement of recognition records the candidate’s potential qualification grade(s), according to the centre, had our set examinations/assessments been completed. 

The statement of recognition is designed to support the candidate’s progression to the next stage of education, training, or employment. It can inform discussions with Further Education/Higher Education institutions, other education providers, and employers, to facilitate progression. The statement of recognition is provided by OCR based on the information supplied by the centre and is not a qualification certificate. This is different to an honorary certificate . 

If you think you have a candidate for whom a statement of recognition may be appropriate, please email the special requirements team at [email protected] .

Old Bitcoin wallets keep waking up: How many of the 1.8 million ‘lost’ coins are really gone?

On April 15, a long-dormant Bitcoin wallet stirred to life for the first time in nearly 14 years. The wallet owner sent $50 million in Bitcoin to Coinbase , notching a profit of over $3 million on coins that used to be worth less than a penny each. The transaction was unusual but hardly unique. Nearly every week, a wallet from Bitcoin’s early days “wakes up,” raising the question of how many more coins presumed lost could return to circulation. Now, a new survey from Fortune and Chainalysis provides some insight.

As the chart above reveals, hundreds of thousands of “lost” Bitcoins—defined by Chainalysis as those that haven’t stirred since 2014—have moved wallets in the last few years. The chart depicts the net change in the total amount of Bitcoins held in wallets of four different sizes, including those holding fewer than 50 and those with 1,000 or more. Unsurprisingly, the “fewer than 50” category accounts for the vast majority of old Bitcoin wallets as the graphic below shows.

Both graphics show a disproportionate number of old wallets that contain exactly 50 Bitcoins. This reflects the fact that in the currency’s early days, the block reward—the prize awarded to miners who added a block to the blockchain—was 50. (Since then, a series of “halving” events have resulted in the reward being cut to 25, 12.5, 6.25, and just last week to 3.25 Bitcoins.)

Now that the number of Bitcoins mined each day is less than 10% of what it once was, the wallets from long ago—many of them holding sizable fortunes—may attract greater interest.

$121 billion

Those who take only a casual interest in crypto may be surprised to learn there are around 1.75 million Bitcoin wallets, many of which contain significant amounts of money, that have been totally inactive for a decade or more. As of mid-March, these wallets (which don’t include the 30,000 or so wallets associated with Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto) contained 1,798,681 Bitcoins that are today worth around $121 billion.

These 1.8 million “lost” coins account for around 8.5% of the total supply of 21 million—93% of which have already been mined—that will ever exist.

In most cases, it’s impossible to know for sure what became of a given wallet, but it’s a safe bet many are indeed gone forever. In Bitcoin’s early days, the currency was all but worthless—it only crossed the $1 mark in 2011—so many people who received it may have forgotten about it entirely or not bothered to safeguard the private keys needed to open a wallet. Misplaced keys would have been especially common in the pre-2012 era when companies like Coinbase, which hold private keys on users’ behalf, did not exist.

But not all of the dormant wallets are lost or abandoned. Bitcoin is famous for its large collection of “HODLers” who vow to never sell their supply (or to at least hold on to it for a very long time). It is these people—those with “diamond hands,” in crypto parlance—who are responsible for the small number of wallets that have become active since 2018.

So why are they selling? An analysis of newly active wallets by Chainalysis found that, on seven occasions, there was a statistically significant correlation between Bitcoin price changes and wallet activity in a given week. Most times, however, an uptick in wallet activity did not appear to correlate with an obvious external event.

Overall, the pace of old wallets waking has been fairly predictable. The week of March 25, for example, showed a typical pattern where 172 long-dormant wallets became active—169 of which contained fewer than 50 Bitcoins, and one of which had over 1,000. Many Bitcoin owners own more than one wallet, especially those who came to the scene before 2014, so the number of people who activated wallets that week is likely far below 172.

The Satoshi wild card

The Chainalysis survey data suggests that old wallets will continue to wake up at a steady but slowing pace until the number of lost Bitcoins becomes more or less fixed—perhaps around 1.5 million.

One can imagine, though, a future scenario where the rate of wallets waking up accelerates. Namely, that might occur when pre-2014 HODLers grow old and bequeath long-held Bitcoin to their children, who in turn sell them. Such an event, however, would still be decades away since most early Bitcoiners were in their twenties or thirties.

Finally, as noted above, the “lost” Bitcoin figures exclude the wallets controlled by Satoshi, who owns around 1.1 million Bitcoins by Chainalysis’s estimates. A recent Fortune report on Satoshi’s fortune—worth around $75 billion—found that most longtime crypto watchers believe the Bitcoin creator faded into myth long ago, and that it’s extremely unlikely they will ever touch their wallets again.

If this is the case, the total number of missing Bitcoins is currently around 2.9 million—nearly 14% of the total supply. In the long term, the best guess is these Bitcoins will become the digital version of lost treasure that is never found.
