LeavingCert Appeals

Jane1012

Hey jus wonderin does any1 kno when the appeals results come out?
Ive tried lookin it up but im not gettin any definite dates.
Im only gettin early or mid october?

D. Coughlan

10th of October, i believe, i am waiting on three appeals.

FunkZ

That's fairly late seeing as college has already started?

D. Coughlan

Suppose it is, can't do much about it, it takes 5 weeks to correct all the appeals again, like

Jane1012

yea i was guessin it wld b around the tenth but i heard yesterday off sum1 who thinks its the 4th.... its very late cause im settled and all into another course now so dont kno wat to do if i get it

You can defer for a year and start it next year instead,and have a year off.

Its so annoying that they don't tell us when the results are coming out, I even rang up the SEC last week and all I could get out of them was the first or second week in Oct.

I think last years came out on the 12th so around the 10th this year seems like a wise estimate.

So you don't think it's good that they give you the results as soon as they can? They could just say that the results are out on the 30th? Would that make you happier?

Jane1012

was talkin to the SEC the results will b out on the 8th 9th and 10th of october

Not too sure, they should be on the internet by 12 if you still have the pin, i say it would be more likely that the results will be sent out at some point

Does anybody know for certain if the appeal results are out tomorrow?
I tried the online service and simply got a message saying the results are out on the 15th of August

D. Coughlan

Out this morning all right, 2,000 upgrades out of 10,000 appeals, don't have time to post the link but it's on the Irish independent in the education section

More than 2,000 results in this year's Leaving Cert exams have reportedly been upgraded after appeals.

Reports this morning say figures from the State Examinations Commission show more than 5,500 people lodged appeals against more than 10,000 grades.

The results of the appeals will be available today either through schools or via the www.examinations.ie website.

Anyone who wants to view their re-marked papers must apply to do so by the end of the week.

Nothing on SEC site yet....

D. Coughlan

Results on examinations.ie at 12, according to the website

GretchenWieners

I'm away from home, so my PIN is there. I'll ring school a bit later. But it looks like I'm going nowhere if only 2,000/10,000 have been upgraded. How many went down out of curiosity?

~flammable~

I went up by 5 points yay! so i have the minimum points for dentistry in tcd but its on random selection...

so does anyone know what happens next?? does the cao send offers again or do i have to ring up the college myself ???

please let me know...im confused!

Jane1012

I went up by 15 points yay!! the CAO offers will b out on Friday mornin i think! Does any1 wanna go to DCU nw that they got their appeals??

dublin 16 lad

Where did all of you's find your appeal results?

Jane1012

the school rang me and gave them to me

sternn

What does it mean if i have a star (*) beside the grade??

spurious

It means there is a supplementary report. This means there may have been an element missing (such as project work or an oral) or it could mean that there was a 'reasonable accommodation' made for spelling/grammar etc. The supplementary report which should be attached or on the back of the result sheet will say what the circumstances were.

sternn

it wasnt on my first results page....it was on my results page on the internet today...the subject that I got rechecked. It gives no explaination...but the grade hasn't changed yet...

spurious

The supplemental may say it was changed on a recheck, I don't know, but it definitely indicates there is additional information about the grade.

Corruptedmorals

My history went up, the 2 others stayed the same. So now I'm 10 points off, but I don't care anymore.

JC 2K3

w00t, up to an A1 in Maths, so 580 now...

That doesn't feel good enough to have been worth applying for a recheck, but I'll take it anyway.

Jane1012

i got into DCU woo woo

Mushy

Got the C3 in French now. Knew it'd happen, marking was crap on it. Makes no difference to college anyway. Only happiness from me is the €37 I get back:D

Why send it back when you had your course??

~flammable~

did anyone else get offers today?? they were posted out yesterday so maybe we wont get them til monday...argh more stress!

Well I was 1 mark off an A1 and a question was marked incorrectly, and in the heat of the moment, I acted in an entirely hypocritical and egotistical manner and agreed with my maths teacher to get it rechecked.

*belle*

your dead right anyway!
i mean you deserved that A1 so why not get it checked!
you never know you might actually need those extra points!!
i went up in physics ,woo hoo !!
its a bit of a disaster ,it takes so long to get them back.....

GretchenWieners

I didn't go up, 10points off my course but it could be a blessing in disguise.

poppyflower

Is there anything you can do if you're still sure you deserve more than you got in a paper? I know you can view the re-checked paper, but can you get it checked again or is there anyway of appealing the result again. A previous state examiner told there were lots of marks there in the original correction that I did'nt get, but I didn't get upgraded on the appeal? Any advice?

ZorbaTehZ

Well if it really was a former state examiner, then do get it rechecked. SD123 made reference to in another thread, about how you need to travel to Athlone if you want to get a second re-check.

MathsManiac

You can go to Athlone to view the post-appeal script and see what the appeal examiner had to say about the points you raised.

If you're not happy that the appeal was conducted properly, you can seek to refer the matter to the Independent Appeals Scrutineers. Ultimately you could take it to the government ombudsman. The scrutineers can't re-mark your script, but they will investigate whether everthing was done right. See http://www.examinations.ie/index.php?l=en&mc=ca&sc=gu
