New appeals guidance including frequently asked questions

Jul 20, 2026

The SQE website now features dedicated web pages to assist candidates with the appeals process and answer frequently asked questions on this area.

We suggest candidates review the appeals policy with these supporting pages when deciding whether to submit an appeal. They include information on first appeals, final appeals and making an appeal out of time.

The new pages outline the process, including time frames, when to expect an outcome, and the possible outcomes for candidates. The frequently asked questions help with common queries.
