Exam centre comments

Exam appeals process
You have the right to appeal against a decision of the Board of Examiners which affects you.
However, we can reassure you that papers are marked by two markers independently. The examining team then reviews any borderline marks, and on some occasions papers even get a fourth review, to ensure you are awarded an accurate grade.

Exam counselling service
This service can help you understand why your paper failed, how to improve your performance, and how to develop examination technique generally.
