<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="mycode_quote"><cite>Quote:</cite>I have just received my exam results and I would like to appeal. Do you know where I can find the appeal procedure?</blockquote>
<br />
The <a href="http://www.irse.org/membership/publicdocuments/Exam%20Regulations%20v1.6%20March%202016.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">exam regulations</a> for 2016 (which I assume are not fundamentally different from 2015) say the following:<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="mycode_quote"><cite>Quote:</cite>7.2 The Examination Committee’s decision is final and they will not enter into any correspondence regarding the marks gained by a candidate or the number of marks required for a pass.<br />
7.3 Should there be any exceptional concerns about the result obtained, an appeal may be made by writing to the Membership and Registration Manager. This must be received by 4 May 2016. Appeals, which must include appropriate grounds, will only be considered at the discretion of the Council.</blockquote>

			<description><![CDATA[If you find that you have a "Near Miss" result, you can apply to the IRSE office for some feedback relating to your score.  I discovered what this was for the first time last year and was frankly disappointed at what was provided; however it at least tells a candidate the band they achieved (i.e. Fail / Near Miss / Pass / Credit / Distinction) for each of the questions separately.<br />
<br />
It seems that my comments have been taken on board to some extent and this year, for module 1 only, the examiners are experimenting with giving a bit more feedback.   <br />
<br />
Don't expect that it'll tell you technically got wrong, but it is aimed at giving some guidance whether you gave sufficient detail / covered the breadth of the question etc.  To know whether it was worth doing and to determine if / how to extend to other modules the examiners are keen to find out how useful or otherwise it is perceived to be.  So if you are in that category, please share your thoughts.]]></description>
