Common questions

Before you make a move.

The answer depends on your documents and the procedure that applies.

Can a result be challenged just because it seems too low?

A disagreement with academic assessment is different from an error or procedural concern. The available route depends on the issue.

Should I contact the awarding body or the school?

The correct first contact depends on the assessment and the concern. We can help identify the relevant procedure.

What should I send first?

Send the decision, the relevant deadline and the key documents. A short timeline helps us understand what happened.

Let’s talk
it through.

Tell us what happened, share the decision and any approaching deadline. Choose a meeting, WhatsApp or email on our contact page.
