SGS non qualification mitigating circumstances what evidence
Posted: Fri Dec 17, 2010 1:24 pm
Hi guys. A long time lurker who has found this forum extremely useful over the last year.
However after the release of the results, i am unsure on how to proceed.
DS sat Consortium and scored 111 which is a pass, but highly unlikely to get an offer.
SGS which was his preferred choice he scored only 107. Really unhappy and he really wants us to appeal. The mitigating circumstances is that OH maternal aunt passed away 2 weeks before the exams so the preparation wasn't ideal, but we were still hopeful of a high enough mark.
In terms of academic evidence, he's 555 across the board and every teacher thats ever taught him has stated he's more than capable. He's also involved in extra duties in school and is on gifted and talented register.
My question is how do i go about confirming the mitigating circumstances. What sort of evidence would need to be presented to the board. Although he didn't miss any school due to the funeral, there was alot of crucial time lost seeing family who wanted to play their respects to OH as she was very close to her aunt.
Although he didn't show any outward signs of being troubled, there were lots of awkward questions which obviously played on his mind.
Any help gratefully accepted
