    Help !!! Failed english exam
    Hi,

    i am only going to do my GCSE's next year. This year was my final exams which decide what class i get put into etc. I got a D on my English exam by 16 marks. I got 59/94 in total. My teacher said she couldn't read my hand writing but that was because i was really stressed because there was no clock in the examination hall so i couldn't tell the time and i had multiple sections do do in the paper! I asked her if i could write everything out again in clear print at lunchtime but she said no because in a GCSE exam i wouldn't be allowed to, but in a GCSE exam there would be a clock. I am really worried and depressed about it. As soon as i got home i cried and my Dad doesn't even know yet. He will be furious because i went down 30% from an A to a D!! I don't know what to do. I am trying to convince my teacher to let my WRITE it out again, NOT RE-SIT just copy it out in clear print. I really need help any ideas?

    I am so confused. Was it a GCSE exam or not?
