If a school or college believes a candidate’s GCSE or A level results aren’t right, they send an Enquiry about results to the exam board. If after the enquiry they still think that the results aren’t right, they can appeal against the results. These are the statistics for those appeals for GCSE and A level exams in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
