Thirty per cent of exam appeals were upgraded in the 2022 exam diet, according to figures released by the Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA).
In the first year that in-person exams have taken place since 2019, 17,300 of the 58,035 appeals submitted were upgraded for learners who did not perform as expected on the day of exams or for other mitigating circumstances, representing 11% of total entries in 2022.
Some 81% of grades were the same as teacher estimates or higher, according to the figures from the SQA. Final attainment figures will be released in December 2022.
