ESAT results

My daughter got her ESAT results on Friday and they are so different to what she expected that I wonder if there could have been a mistake. On practice tests she consistently had 6's and 7's but she scored 1's and 2's on the actual test (she got a 1 in physics). On the day, she didn't think that it had gone any better or worse than her practice tests. Of course, anyone can have a bad day, and if she'd scored 3's and 4's I wouldn't have thought too much of it, but this seems spectacularly different to her usual performance. I'm wondering if there could be any possibility of a fault, either in the delivery of her results or in the computer on which she sat the test. I suspect that there will be no way to appeal this and I will just be treated as a disappointed parent but it really seems so wrong that it's impossible to believe. Did anyone else get results that were not just a bit different to what they expected but spectacularly different, and has anyone ever successfully appealed a result?

Hi everyone
try doing a Subject Access Request to get all the information they hold on your children. You'll need proof of ID and address.
In particular ask for all of the information they hold on your children including exam scripts.
The e-mail address is:

If the results don't tally contact the universities admissions teams immediately, then make a complaint, contact Ofqual and your MPs.
Good luck everyone!

Thank you - I 'm doing that. There is someone in the TMUA group who's son did ESAT and got lower scores than expected. She contacted the university and discovered that they had been sent different scores to the ones received by her son. There is definitely something going wrong. Please, if you are in this situation, make a subject access request as described above - the more people who do it, the more likely they are to act.
