Scores Appeal - is it worth it (Kent)

[dazza21h]

Just quickly whizzed, and wanted to say. Book to go and view the actual papers. You will be abe to see where 'it all went wrong' and this could help you to build your appeal. For example, you have said there was a reason why his concentration will have been affected. The answer sheet may add weight to this argument. Furthermore it is not unheard of for there to be an error in the machine marking, it is rare but it does happen. The admissions woman we saw was brilliant and pointed out things we hadn't considered, and went on to use. We did fail one appeal, but won another.

Good luck, of course it's worth it. Nothing ventured, nothing gained

Many thanks all for your input on the thread, it has so far been very useful.

However I have spoken to the school and they cannot tell me who to speak to regarding viewing his actual papers to obtain a copy. Can anyone help with this ??

Also I'm being extremely dumb what is a superselective classed as, grammer or advanced grammer?

Super Selectives are the schools which will take any DC who scored in the top so many % regardless of where they live. These are The Judd, Skinners and the other one has left my brain....... they are Grammar Schools, exactly the same as any other but they will not take a regular pass. Lots of information about them on the forum.
