Appeals

The Appeals Service is now closed.

We've now issued outcomes of priority appeals to schools, colleges and training providers. You should contact your school, college or training provider to find out your outcome.

In September, we'll confirm the date that we'll issue the outcomes of all other appeals.

If your grade has changed as a result of an appeal, we'll send you a new certificate in November.

Appeals decisions are final and you cannot appeal your grade again.

How did the Appeals Service work?

A senior marker carried out a marking review of your Qualifications Scotland-marked assessments. They reviewed your responses to all externally-marked question papers and assignments. They checked that the marks awarded by the original marker were in line with national standards.

In addition, they also checked that:

• all parts of your Qualifications Scotland assessments had been marked
• the marks given for each answer had been added correctly
• the correct result had been entered on our system.

Please note that after being reviewed, your result could stay the same, go up or go down.

Roles and responsibilities

The roles and responsibilities document outlines the duties and tasks that Qualifications Scotland, schools, colleges, training providers, learners and local authorities must undertake in relation to appeals. You can speak to your teacher or lecturer if you have any questions about the document or service.
