They are there to make sure that coursework assessments are fair for everyone.  If you are not sure about the rules, speak to your teacher or lecturer. They will also be able to tell you what could happen if you break the rules.  You’ll also find lots more helpful information at www.sqa.org.uk/learners.

At first sight, the Scottish qualifications system might seem confusing.  SQA have developed their Guide to Scottish Qualifications leaflet to help everyone understand how qualifications fit together.

POST-RESULTS SERVICES

This year’s SQA examination results will be sent to your child on Tuesday 6 August 2019.   These results will arrive by first class post, and by text or e-mail from 8am if your child has registered for this service through My SQA.

The Post-Results Service operates for a short period starting on Tuesday 6 August 2019 and may be used by schools where a pupil’s grade is significantly different from that expected.  Based on the evidence the school holds about the pupil’s performance throughout the course, the school may request a clerical check and/or an SQA marking review.

  •  A clerical check is a check that all questions have been marked and all marks totalled correctly.
  • A marking review is where an SQA senior examiner will review the marks awarded to each question to ensure that the original marking is in line with national standards: the work will not be re-marked.

Please note that the decision to ask for a Post Results Service rests solely with the school.  In addition, as a result of a clerical check and/or marking review, the pupil’s grade may stay the same or be amended up or downTherefore,  the following criteria has been established to ensure equity and diligence in the process:

  • Candidate’s performance must be at least 2 bands below the school’s estimate.
  • Candidate must have performed consistently throughout the year to the school’s estimate.
  • Candidate evidence must be from a range of evidence (not just the prelim).
  • A request should not be submitted where there is a significant risk of a candidate’s grade going down.  i.e. the mark is close to the lower threshold of the grade boundary.
  • Request must be within the SQA’s submission window .

Once the decision has been taken to proceed with the request the pupil must give permission for this in writing.  There is a very short time frame for submitted requests to be with the SQA:

  • 16 August 2019 (for candidates with a conditional offer for college or university) PRIORITY REVIEWS
  • 27 August 2019 for all other candidates

It is important that parents understand that the school will not be able to submit alternative evidence, like course work or prelim examination evidence, to support its request for a review. Decisions about the grade awarded will be made solely on the pupil’s performance in the SQA examination.

Should you have any questions about your child’s results, when they arrive in August, you should contact Mr Wright, SQA Coordinator, in the first instance.  Mr Wright will be available on Results day at Kemnay Academy
