How it works:

According to § 8 (please read) you must submit an objection

• in writing (email is not sufficient!), i.e. printed out and signed by hand,
• within one month (!) after notification of the examination result (or the refusal of an examination/grade/“participated”),
• to the responsible examination board (!), i.e. not to the examiners, and ideally
• substantiated reasons:

The statement of grounds for the contradiction is of advantage to you in that without a statement of grounds, a decision would simply be made on the basis of the files, which in the vast majority of cases should result in the same examination decision. The statement of grounds can also be submitted later, but this should be announced in the contradiction itself. In this way, you can meet the deadline by lodging the contradiction, then, for example, inspecting the files or seeking advice and submitting the reasons later. But please do this as quickly as possible.

Right of inspection

In this context, you have the right to inspect the examination file (§ 9; please read), and a conversation with the examiners is also a good idea.

But be careful: The RaPO (unconsciously) gives the impression that these supplementary actions are something that preserves or extends the deadline.
This is definitely not the case!
The one-month deadline and all other formalities mentioned above must be complied with!
It is therefore advisable to lodge the objection as quickly as possible.

In addition, you could potentially be held liable if you do not complain about an obvious examination deficiency in good time. If, for example, you have been given too little time, you should report this immediately to the examination supervisor/put it on record. The same applies to tasks that you are sure should not have been included in the exam.
