SQA exam results day 2024 - what to do if you're not happy with your grades
dailyrecord.co.ukScottish students up and down the country will be waiting in anticipation to receive their 2024 SQA exam results this morning.Some may have already got their grades via text or email if they created an online MYSQA account earlier this summer while others will be waiting for their grades to be posted to them on Tuesday, August 6.Regardless of whether or not you signed up for the online results which will be sent to candidates from 8am onwards, everyone will receive a physical copy of their grades through the door.For those of who have already received their results and are pleased with their grades - congratulations!
However, not everyone may be feeling satisfied with their marks and if you are feeling this way, don't panic!Here's what you can do if you did not receive the exam marks you hoped for.If you are not satisfied with your results and believing the grading isn't fair, you may be able to appeal the exam board's decision.It's worthwhile to talk to someone who knows your work best such as a teacher or parent but the final decision to appeal lies in the hands of the student.
Your marks can either go up or down if you appeal so it's important you make a well informed decision before going ahead with it.Appeals can be directly submitted to the Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA) or you can ask your teacher to submit an appeal to the SQA for you.
The appeals service is free and will be open from 9am on results day (August 6). You can find more information about this year’s appeal process for learners, including the appeals deadlines, on the SQA website.
