Chances

I was in school today and got my higher maths grades back. I got 88/130 which is a band 3 B. The % for and A was 72% this year. The SQA sent a list to the school mentioning the people who could appeal and i was one of them. I wasn't bothered as i have got into my firm choice at uni but im actually happy an appeal is being submitted.

For the main prelim i scored 71%, the second prelim i scored 76% and for the extended test in unit 1 i got 74%. Its hard to tell exactly if it will be sucessful but does anyone have any thoughts about it? Im not building up my hopes at all and i do have my place at uni already confirmed so the result isnt going to affect anything but just wanted people's thoughts. If the SQA said i could appeal there must be some kind of chance???

I personally dont think there is much of a chance. The A's you got at 74 and 76 % aren't really strong enough for you to be bumped up to an A imo, would need to be 80's at least for a decent shot at it. Schools get a quota on the amount of appeals they can get so they need to fill up that quota so maybe not many people have a strong appeal but are just in to fill the quota.

Still, your uni place is confirmed so good times
