The State Examinations Commission has statutory responsibility for operational matters relating to the certificate examinations including determining procedures to enable the review and appeal of results of examinations at the request of candidates. In view of this I have forwarded your query to the State Examinations Commission for direct reply to you. It should be noted that this type of data is normally made available publicly by the Commission each year when the appeals have been processed, usually around mid October.
