We no longer collect estimated entries for all qualifications – only those which have pre-release materials sent as hard copies. See below for the full list.

If you do not make estimated entries, you will not receive the early despatches of pre-release examination materials.

We no longer collect preliminary entries.

What are estimated entries?

Estimated entries are your centre’s best projection of the number of candidates that will be entered for a unit or option in a particular series. They are free and do not commit your centre in any way.

For the following components, estimated entries have been automatically calculated from the June 2019 final entries. Please update them if you wish to make entries for a new qualification, if the volumes you plan to enter change greatly or if you are no longer going to be making final entries.

  • Art and Design: A Level H600/02–H606/02; AS Level H200/01–H206/01; GCSE (9-1) J170/02–J176/02

Estimated entry deadline

The deadline for submitting estimated entries for the June series is 10 October. Estimated entries are not required for the November and January series.

How to make estimated entries

Estimated entries can only be submitted through Interchange:

  • Log in to Interchange, hover over ‘Entries’ in the left-hand menu and click on ‘Submit estimated entries’.
  • Use the dropdown menus to search for the qualifications you need to submit estimated entries for and then click ‘Search’.
    • You can restrict your search by selecting ‘Entry estimates’ from the dropdown menu in ‘Restrict search’.
    • This will limit the search to show your rolled over final entry data only.
    • Leave ‘Qualification type’ set at ‘All’ and the ‘Search subjects’ box blank.
    • You can also view the estimated entries you made for a previous year, in read-only format, by filtering by the relevant series.
    • We do not recommend you search for a certification title as this may not return all of the related units.
  • On the next page, add your estimates to the relevant boxes.
  • Click ‘Save’ to submit this information to OCR.

If you need to change your estimated entries after you’ve submitted them, you can amend your estimates via Interchange until the relevant final entry deadline.
