• Not all papers will be dispatched at the same time; they will be sent as soon as they are ready.
• If it is a late order, they may not arrive until the day of the exam, or they will be sent electronically on that day.

Any modified paper orders you have made for Large Print or Braille will be dispatched separately to your standard exam materials and will be in green tamper-proof packaging to help you differentiate these from the standard papers. We strive to deliver papers to centres a minimum of 5 days before an examination date. Where physical papers cannot be delivered due to late orders, we will send a PDF copy via Secure File Transfer.

If your centre requires access to electronic copies of question papers in examinations series, for example if you make a very late entry or need to print onto coloured paper, they will be available to download on the Secure Download Service (SDS). This also includes audio files, extra time and transcripts for listening exams. Our recommendation is that a minimum of two members of centre staff have SDS included in their Edexcel Online (EOL) profile.

If your exam staff do not already have SDS added to their EOL profile, they will need to contact us and be available to receive a secure call-back from our Customer Services Specialist on your centre's main telephone number. Once this call has been performed successfully, access to the SDS platform will be added to their account.

It is important that all exam staff can access SDS as we will not be able to send electronic question papers via Secure File Transfer (SFT), on the day of the exam, without a secure call back to your centre's main telephone number first. This could result in logistical challenges for your centre at a critical time in the day - with staff required to move between an exam hall and your reception/ exam office. This may result in delays, including potentially impacting the start time of the exam in question. To avoid this please make checks to your exam staff EOL profiles (and specifically SDS) today.
