SQA Urgent Appeals 2012Hey!
Just a general question to anyone out there that submitted an urgent appeal a few weeks ago, like me...
Basically, I was wondering if anyone managed to get a successful urgent appeal?
I appealed for my Higher Maths grade to be raised from a B to an A, and unfortunately was unsuccessful. This came as quite a shock, as in one prelim I had a result of 90% and the second prleim a result of 88%, making my prediction for this subject an A band 1.
Therefore, I was enquiring to see if anyone else was in a similar position to me, and had an unsuccessful appeal, or if others were successful?
Would be great to hear some feedback

I don't know if I've got an urgent appeal tbh -appealing for physics B to A with 81% and history B to A 80% - but as long as I get one of them then I "have" an unconditional for Glasgow and a lot of pressure off this year. On the SQA website it says the results for urgents are not out yet

Re: SQA Urgent Appeals 2012Wow BigChimp, that's great! Wish the same had happened to me
I was just so sure my appeal was a given, getting basically A1's all year.
Oh right Direct15... well I know that my school hasn't received any of the urgent appeal results yet, but universites were notified around the 31st August. I found out my appeal result by phoning up the university numerous times and finally managing to find out from the head of admissions that it was unsuccessful! Bit of a hassle really. -

Re: SQA Urgent Appeals 2012I had a smillar unsuccesful appeal last year for maths. I had and averange of 94% from my 3 prelims, ended up with a C due to other circumstances. I was 1 mark of a B and I didn't get my appeal(Original post by Dancer13)

Oh my, really? That is shocking that you didn't get your appeal! I know exactly how you feel... Did your school contact the SQA or did the SQA give a valid reason that they didn't give you the appeal? -
