27 July 2023: The SQA has published a guide for parents and carers with information to consider if children decide to submit an appeal.

Appeals 2023 – a guide for parents and carers

Overview of Appeals 2023

Learners will receive their results certificate, delivered to their home address by first class post, on Tuesday 8 August. Those who have signed-up for and activated their MySQA account will also receive their results by text and/or email the same morning from 8 am.

Appeals 2023 will open on Tuesday 8 August at 9 am. The service provides learners with the opportunity to request a marking review if they have concerns about their certificated grade.

The appeals service is free and will be open for learners to appeal either directly to SQA, or through their school.
