SQA Post Certification Review
Hyndland Secondary School
Post-Certification Review 2020
Dear Parent and Young Person,
‘In response to the cancellation of the 2020 exam diet, SQA has developed an alternative certification model for 2020 to ensure the hard work of Scotland’s learners is fully recognised through our qualifications system. To be as fair as possible to candidates, SQA are providing a post-certification review (appeals) service to allow centres to request a review of the grade awarded for a candidate.
For candidates whose results are not in line with their estimated grade, the SQA have put in place a Post-certification Review. Post-certification review is free of charge. It is carried out by SQA examiners at the request of a centre. It involves a review of candidate evidence, including any completed coursework components.
A candidate is eligible for review only when they have been awarded a lower grade than the grade estimated by their centre. A successful post-certification review request will result in a change of grade only — a change in band is not a feature of the review. Post-certification review is available for National 5, Higher and Advanced Higher Courses in 2020
Priority reviews are for candidates with a conditional university or college offer.’
