That's amazing 😊Congratulations!


Thanks :smile: although Durham only offering my a place for 2017 entry now :doh:probs taking a forced gap year

You going to uni? well done on your f324 remark :smile:
0 change in UMS in both Economics U3+ U4 and English Lit...
New corrupt *****y ****ing system making it very very hard to get a change in marks because they merely just review the marking and as long as a "clear error" in original marking is not evident, marks don't change, so in order for the marks to change you need to get ****ed over by a big enough margin the first time round.

Aghh that's so unfair :frown: but a gap year can be a great thing, I wish I was still taking one! Thank you😊

Sorry to hear that :frown: Have you lost a uni place because of it? Are you appealing?

I got AAA, missed out on A* A* A by a few UMS

Got offer from KCL for history w/ econ
OR
I can take a gap year and apply for Law LLB at QMUL...

Gap year would mean I wouldn't need to borrow the 27K tuition fee and subsequently not having to pay those monthly interest repayments which can range from £100 to £250 plus the X% of income.

Vying towards option 2, but I'll have a think about it.

Really disappointed with the new system where remarks have been scrapped and only reviews now exist, which for essay based subjects are appallingly useless.
Biology Unit 4 WJEC went up by 17 ums, overall grade change from a B to an A
Still waiting on my priority AQA remark for geography; have AQA got any papers back yet....?

We've had all of our re-marks (priority or not) put in by last weekend back.

Would you not think about getting a copy of the script and getting an English teacher to double check it? My English lit also came back still a B but I am waiting for the script and if my teachers believe it's worth an A (for an overall A*) then I'll look into appealing it.


I've already got into my firm choice so I dunno I think I'll just leave it :/ I could always retake the exam next year to get the A overall :smile:

Ah I'm spec A! Got in to my insurance but my place at my firm hangs on this remark! I'm praying for a miracle though as I need 10 marks! But my units in English were A* A A D so I'm hoping they forgot to mark a question because it doesn't seem right!


OMG exactly the same with me after getting A*/A/B all year, but got my script back and 2 people had marked it? Like one person has checked what the first person had done, so I'm just going to leave it now.
In fairness I got 3 hrs of sleep before that exam (learnt my lesson now lol)
