SQA Exam Results 2024
Congratulations to everyone on your results today. We hope you have been rewarded for your efforts.
If your result is not as expected and you wish to be considered for an Appeal please read the SQA leaflet regarding Appeals sent to you during the holidays. The information can be accessed directly on the SQA website through the following link: Your Results – Support and guidance – SQA
Making An Appeal
You can submit an appeal yourself through the SQA’s website at Appeals service – SQA from 9.00am on Tuesday 6 August 2024.
If your appeal is a priority appeal, ie a place at university, college or a training course depends on a particular grade, you must submit the appeal via the above SQA website address by Tuesday 13 August. This will then be actioned by the school to comply with SQA deadlines.
If your appeal is a non-priority appeal you are advised to speak to your teacher at the start of the new term although the final decision will rest with you. You must submit non-priority appeals online with the SQA by Tuesday 27 August.
You will be unable to request an appeal if the school has already submitted evidence through the Examination Exceptional Circumstances Consideration Service during the exam diet.
Once the SQA have processed the appeal and returned the outcome, their decision is final – you cannot appeal the decision.
What Happens When An Appeal Is Submitted?
If you appeal your grade, a senior SQA marker will carry out a ‘marking review’ of your SQA marked assessments but they will not be re-marked.
A marking review simply checks that:
– all parts of your SQA-assessments have been marked
– the marking is in line with national standards
– the marks given for each answer have been totalled correctly and
– the correct result has been entered in their system.
Please note that after being reviewed, your result could stay the same, go up or go down.
