that happened to me, but with my higher spanish!
my school phoned the sqa and the sqa said that it was an admin error - and have awarded me my proper grade

so try that first..cuz i was sure i had done everything correctly - like done all my nabs, sent all the correct stuff in etc.

Same thing happened with Higher Accounts this year.

I got a borderline A/B in the prelims, but had a shocker of an exam - i was ill, my grandad had been taken to hospital the night before, etc - and ended up failing.

My teacher sent of the urgent appeal, but luckliy Aberdeen accepted me for Law anyway so i don't need to worry. I doubt i'll get it bumped up anyway, and even if it is they will probably only give me a D

I doubt they will give me a chance though since I just got a C in the prelim:confused: . Can you phone the SQA yourself and ask lol?

I will ask tommorrow what marks I actually got for each section and if a mark for a bit it very low or 0 or something I will know it is obviously a mistake. I studied Germany and Britain about reform acts and stuff, sorry I can't remember exactly the names of the topics now lol.

You must do it again, it's part of the final exam.

I'm sure somebody asked today and the teacher said no, I am not sure though. I don't mind to be honest as if I never passed I would want to improve it.
