At least until after the appeals, but also is there a way to contact the SQA by E-mail?

There is an e-mail address on the front page of the certificate, I think they keep them for a certain amount of time , maybe a year or something?!

Are you kidding? No, they don't- not even in English. You have to ask now, and I mean like before September starts, if you want them back.
Half ideas,half quality, half a million pound law suit!

Erm, why do you think they don't keep them?

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you
But make allowance for their doubting too,
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And--which is more--you'll be a Man, my son!

I always thought they kept them, and gave some of them out to teachers and things as examples of a "good" response, and a "bad response". I may be wrong.

They must keep them because when I went to that geography thing they had examples of good and bad answers and they had come from real papers.

Oh yeah they have those Critical Essay and Close Reading workshops where the teachers get a kick out of laughing at the students responses

- oh and they get trained apparently

edit: ^ for Higher English anyway.

They actually keep the papers for 1 year.
Last year, my cousin wanted to retrieve her H English papers. She didn't contact them till 7 months after the exam results, and got them back without a problem

Summer romances end for all kinds of reasons, but when all is said and done, they have one thing in common -- they are shooting stars, a spectacular moment of light in the heavens, a fleeting glimpse of eternity... and in a flash, they're gone.

Is there any place I can E-mail to complain about Appeals (Now don't you think this is crazy, for Admin I almost got a C, just by two marks, so I got a D, I sat 2 prelims and got 2 B's, and I didn't even AT LEAST get changed to a C.

My bf got a C for Chemistry in his exam but had dropped very few marks in every other test/prelim/blah he had done and never got an appeal.
I got a C for philosphy, had a strongish A in my prelim and got B's for other stuff and got upgraded to an A.
Maybe it jsut depends on your luck!

Cows I call them "moos",
And sometimes silly folk,
They call my moos "coos".

The Xiucai exam can be kept to test people on their history knowledge, and also allow individuals to have a "Entry scholar" badge they can boast about, but everyone should be allowed to unlimited posts.
