    What will my English Grade be?
    Well I had my Literature exam today, but wasn't allowed to sit it due to somebody punching me on the way in. I obviously retalliated and neither of us sat the paper.
    In my novel exam i got full marks and my controlled assessment i got a C.

    So am i going to get a C overall or have i failed it now :confused:

    No you can't get a C Overall
    I remember my teacher told me that you need to pass this module. Even if you are 2 marks away for an a*, you need to pass this module to get your grade.

    Surely they base it on predicted grades? I thought that if you were ill and therefore not at an exam they did so I assume that they would do the same in this instance.

    my teacher is an absolute ****. I don't even think he read my controlled assessment. Just allocated me a mark.

    I don't want to fail literature but i'm not sure what i'll get.

    My 'official' predicted grades are all Cs aswell. They do that so they look good when someone beats it. If i do get that i'll be overjoyed, but as someone said do i fail it all because of that?

    The teacher was shouting saying that we'll be disqualified. That prick doesn't know what the hell he talks about, but do you think I will?

    Teachers don't give grades for controlled assesments, they gave scores. Maybe they don't know the boundaries, and are just telling you that you got a C, but you actually got a B when it comes to the boundaries.

    i got 17/40 and was told that this would equate to a C.
