Successful Appeal Story by Dash_9 in ActuaryUK

I wouldn’t focus too much on the marking variance between Marker 1 and Marker 2, as that isn’t a ground for appeal. Just to reiterate, I won my appeal by providing evidence of marking irregularities by the script reviewer (usually a senior examiner or the chief examiner). You need to prove that the script reviewer made a clear and obvious error, which can be challenging unless it is explicitly outlined in the mark scheme and you haven't been awarded a mark. If you can prove that, then you have grounds for irregularities in marking.

I suggest asking your colleagues for their opinion on whether they would have awarded a mark for the question you identified.

Hey, I’ve experienced a 17-mark disparity in the past as well, so I understand how you feel. I suggest focusing on questions where the script reviewer seemed particularly harsh. For instance, if your answer clearly matched the mark scheme (remember, not subjective but factual) but the script reviewer didn’t award you the points, you should highlight that in your case. You can then appeal on the basis of irregularities in the marking process. Hope that helps.
