Advice ?

Hello all, my first posting here and an emotional journey with our first naive experience with 11 plus.
My DC had his heart set on one of the super selectives and we are very proud as he passed the test with no private tuition. However, we don't think his overall score will be good enough. He was just a couple points shy of top score in reasoning and English but only just got Maths- his strongest subject, he is already working at a Level 6. We kind of knew he would not get an overall top score as he admitted he left over a quarter of the questions out when he came out of the test. we kind of told him forget about it its done hurrah and you did the best you can . Only later did we discover it was due to an incident with another child in the test which upset him. Now having seen his marks we feel it may have had quite an impact.
My question is how on earth at this late stage could we document this and get proof if we wanted to appeal at a later date? Thanks for any advice. Feel free to PM.
