    Exam results - should I appeal?

    Hi, I just got my 2365 exam results and certificates in the post. I passed, with distinctions for 202, 203 and 501, and 80-90% for everything else except the practical assessment, for which I got a Pass. Perhaps I didn't deserve anything more than a straight pass, but some things are bothering...
