I can't believe my grade, I got a C last year for AS(one mark off a B)
So I was expecting at least a C out of unit 3, but what I got was a U !?!
I have not been expecting that,
I don't feel that I have done that bad in my exam,
even my teachers were shocked, as I usually get a B in homeworks.

Anyone out there feel there're some faults with AQA examboard this year?

Im predicted a B and i got a U for Buss3 SOOOOO ANGRY. Think I am going to get mine re marked! X

i genuinely thought i did appalling and got an A which was quite shocking...i think the examiners have either been really generous or really stingey

Yes! That's what happened with my class too,
this guy who hardly tried in class got the highest in my class,
my teacher said it's probably the electronic marking AQA introduced that made the marks faulty.

Quite annoyed that I'll have to Re-sit/Pay to get it remark again :frown:

Same! It was my only exam and I revised so ****ing much and got a D whereas a guy in my class today admitted he actually did no revised but he got an A. WHAT THE ****!! :'(

I got a B (74/100) and was like :lolwut:

thought I'd failed it!
BUSS2 went **** though, thought I got an A but got a C again... atleast it wasn't a total waste, got more marks at least.

I got an E, i was the only one in the class who used the ratios to contribute to question 4, i guess that must have let me down, the others who didnt did well..i may pay for a re-mark but it is so expensive!

Almost all of the business class at my college got As

One lad got full marks, others had like 97, and 90+s.

One got a C (he hasn't even been doing the course since about November) and another got an E
