GSCE Grades ICT - Moderated from A* to B

Hey Guys,

I recently got back my marks for 1 of my 3 ICT GSCEs. I don't know whether you know how it works but they average all 3 of your grades to give you 3 of the same . The teacher that I have for ICT has never been marked down since she started teaching the course in 2006, if any marks have been moderated then they have only ever been put up not down. When she marked my first course she gave me a 37/42 so an A* yet when they got moderated I was somehow taken down to a B losing 8 marks :O. We appealed and I got 4 back so I'm on a comfortable A. I know that an A is good but I was always predicted 3 A*s in ICT but now it looks like I am going to be getting 3 As instead. The teacher suggested that the reason that I was marked down so much was due to the fact that recently people have been complaining about how easy ICT is to do well in. This has meant that A*s I could get went from 7 to a 4 maybe 3 depending on how my maths retake went. But do you think that this would really effect my chances of getting into medicine with a lower ICT mark?


I know that an A is still really good especially the fact that 4 people in my class of 10 actually failed it but it I just wanna know how important it is.

Sorry if this isn't clear or anything i'm shattered.

Thanks,

Kieran
