    w00t, up to an A1 in Maths, so 580 now...

    That doesn't feel good enough to have been worth applying for a recheck, but I'll take it anyway.

    Got the C3 in French now. Knew it'd happen, marking was crap on it. Makes no difference to college anyway. Only happiness from me is the €37 I get back:D

    Well I was 1 mark off an A1 and a question was marked incorrectly, and in the heat of the moment, I acted in an entirely hypocritical and egotistical manner and agreed with my maths teacher to get it rechecked.

    Is there anything you can do if you're still sure you deserve more than you got in a paper? I know you can view the re-checked paper, but can you get it checked again or is there anyway of appealing the result again. A previous state examiner told there were lots of marks there in the original correction that I did'nt get, but I didn't get upgraded on the appeal? Any advice?

    Well if it really was a former state examiner, then do get it rechecked. SD123 made reference to in another thread, about how you need to travel to Athlone if you want to get a second re-check.

    You can go to Athlone to view the post-appeal script and see what the appeal examiner had to say about the points you raised.

    If you're not happy that the appeal was conducted properly, you can seek to refer the matter to the Independent Appeals Scrutineers. Ultimately you could take it to the government ombudsman. The scrutineers can't re-mark your script, but they will investigate whether everthing was done right. See http://www.examinations.ie/index.php?l=en&mc=ca&sc=gu
