It explains how grades were standardised using a statistical model, when an appeal can be requested, and what the grounds may include such as centre assessment errors, incorrect calculation or data-set issues, exceptional circumstances, or procedural grounds. It also outlines the appeals timetable, internal review and independent review steps, consent requirements, and what cannot be appealed, including disagreement with centre grades or professional judgements.","GUIDANCE TO APPEALS SUMMER 2020  \nDespite the cancellation of the summer examinations due to the COVID-19 pandemic this year, most students will still receive calculated grades this summer.  \nYour grade this year has been calculated using a statistical standardisation model. A full guide to standardising grades is available from our factsheet.  \nWhat to do if you consider that there has been an error in determining your grade?  \nIf you feel you have received the wrong grade, the first step you should take is to discuss this with your teacher/lecturer or the exams officer within your school/college.  \nPlease remember, it is only your school/college who can appeal on your behalf. If you are a Private Candidate, please visit our Results Day webpage for further information.  \nThis factsheet provides an overview of the Appeals process, comprehensive guidance is available from our ‘Guide to Results and Appeals’ – please see our Results Day webpage.  \nWhat are the grounds to appeal my grade?  \nAn Appeal can only be made on one or more of the following grounds:  \n1. School/college error – there was an administrative error in the Centre Assessment Grades or Rank Ordering submitted to us.  \n2. An error in calculating or issuing results made by us, this can include:  \na. We used an incorrect data set for the purposes of statistical standardisation,  \nb. We introduced an error into the data set,  \nc. We made an administrative error in issuing a result.  \n3. Exceptional circumstances-further information on this is available within our ‘Guide to Results and Appeals’.  \n4. Procedural grounds:  \na. We did not apply our standardisation or appeals procedures consistently, or the procedures were not followed properly and fairly.  \nWhat cannot I Appeal against?  \nAn Appeal cannot be made on the following grounds:  \n A learner disagrees with their centre assessment grade and/or position in the rank order,  Professional judgements by your teacher/lecturer,  \n The standardisation model(s) .  \n[www.wjec.co.uk](www.wjec.co.uk)   \nGUIDANCE TO APPEALS SUMMER 2020  \nWhat is the Appeals process?  \nIf your school/college agrees that you have grounds to Appeal, they will submit a request tous which will go through an ‘ Initial Review’. This can take up to 42 calendar days to complete from us receiving the application.  \nIf you are waiting to confirm a university place then your school/college should submit the Appeals application as soon as possible after the publication of results.  \nPlease see the diagram on the following page, which illustrates the routes you can follow.  \nWhat if I believe there is still an error with my grades following the ‘Initial Review’?  \nOnce we have notified your school/college of the outcome of your Appeal’s ‘ Initial Review’, they have 14 calendar days from receipt of the outcome to apply for an ‘ Independent Review’.  \nLike the ‘ Initial Review’ this can take up to 42 calendar days to complete from the date we received the application.  \nWhat is the deadline for an Appeal?  \nYour school/college can make an appeal from Results Day, the final deadline to apply is 17 September 2020. Requests/applications for an Appeal submitted after this date will not be accepted.  \nCan my grades go down following an Appeal?  \nFollowing an Appeal, your results can go up, down or stay the same. If your school/college is going to submit an application for Appeal on your behalf then you must ensure that you have given them your written consent to do so. Therefore, you should discuss this in full with your teacher/lecturer before agreeing to make an Appeal.  \nWho should I talk with to discuss an Appeals request?  \nOur advice is that you should discuss this with your teacher/lecturer-they will be able to explain the process, and clarify if you have grounds to Appeal.  \n[www.wjec.co.uk](www.wjec.co.uk)","cbCaiip0u8egEQHg","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiip0u8egEQHg","pdf",247565,1,3,"English","en",105,"# What to do if you consider an error\n## Discuss with your school/college\n## What can be appealed (grounds)\n# What cannot be appealed\n# How the appeals process works\n## Initial review\n## Independent review\n# Appeal deadlines\n# Possible grade changes","[{\"question\":\"What are the grounds for appealing your grade in Summer 2020?\",\"answer\":\"An appeal can be made for centre/school administrative errors, errors in calculating or issuing results (including issues with the data set or administrative result issuance), exceptional circumstances, or procedural grounds where standardisation or appeals procedures were not applied consistently or fairly.\"},{\"question\":\"What is the appeals process and how long does each stage take?\",\"answer\":\"If your school/college submits an appeal request, it goes through an Initial Review that can take up to 42 calendar days.
