What dedicated support is in place for students who are unsatisfied with their exam results, and whether the SQA has been provided with add…

As a Non-Departmental Public Body (NDPB), SQA operates at arm’s length to Ministers and is therefore responsible for its own operational decisions and processes, including on appeals.The Scottish Government works closely with the SQA to ensure that its budget allocation is sufficient to undertake its functions.For students who did not receive the results they thought they should, SQA’s free and direct appeals service gives all young people the right to request a review of their marked exam papers or coursework for their National 5, Higher and Advanced Higher results this year. The approach to appeals in 2024 is the same as last year and is the same approach that, discounting the pandemic years, has been in place for over a decade in Scotland (since April 2014).A priority service is available for young people where they have a conditional offer of a place in university, college, training or employment that depends on their grade.Further information on the appeals service is available from the SQA website at: Appeals service
