SQA Appeals Info :: Ask all appeals questions in here, please!

In psychology, throughout the entire year I've consistently got A's. In 3 of my NABs I got 20/20, and in my prelim I got 97%. However, today was my final exam and I totally cocked up and wrote about the wrong approach for my question on atypical behaviour, and I have now lost 20 marks, taking me down from what I think was an A to a C. As you can imagine I'm distraught. My psychology teacher says you can't get an appeal in psychology up to an A, but surely the evidence is there? Does anyone know?

Guys,


In AH Maths I got 78% in the January prelim and 65% in the March prelim.


What's the odds of an appeal from a C to a B?


Also, I'd need it for university purposes, so how would I do an emergency appeal since my school wont be open on results day?

You can ask for a priority appeal and they will get your updated result back to the uni by 29th August. You might receive the result slightly later bt you'll find out the uni's decision on whether you get a place or not by 30th August so this is not too relevant.

You must submit this appeal immediately (on the 7th) and you must inform the uni you have applied to that you are doing this. I'd contact them by phone so you can guarantee someone got the message that day.

Hope this puts you at ease and you can now enjoy the weekend

But the school needs to submit the appeal right? So how will I manage to contact then on 7 August?

Yeah the school submits the appeal. Actually didn't even check, are you Scottish? If not, do the same thing but on the day the English results arrive. Their will be staff in the day you receive your results

Yeah im Scottish, so you reckon my school will have staff in on Tuesday?

Hey guys i got an A in both of my advanced higher prelims and above 90% in my Nabs however i got a C in the final exam, think there could be any chance of an appeal atall?

Probably have a chance to appeal to a B, but not for definite. Get your teachers to put in an appeal anyway and see what happens

Not trying to derail the thread but I did not want to start another thread and clutter up the forums.

Out of the 3 Physics prelims we done I got above 90% for 2 of them and somewhere above 80& for the other one.

Only got a B in my exam, I presume it is an upper B, good chance of appeal?

If I get a 1,2 in my history prelim, and a 2,2 in my history exam should I appeal for a 1
