Appeals service 2023
The Appeals 2023 service is closed.
Results of appeals were issued to schools, college and training providers on Tuesday 31st October 2023. Please speak to your teacher or lecturer if you are waiting on the outcome of an appeal.
If your grade has changed, your new certificate will arrive by post in November.
The Appeals 2023 process included a marking review of your SQA-marked assessments by our most experienced markers, who are also subject-specialist teachers and lecturers.
A marking review 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 on our system.
Outcomes are final, and you cannot appeal the result further.
