    Yeah that was the original time we had to start the paper, but we protested to edexcel and they allowed us to start the paper early; I mean how can you do an exam at 4PM? That's absurd.
    how come we have to the exam at 6.30 pm. thats pretty rude of Edexcel!

    You should have protested; if you don't speak up, then how will they know your problems? If you didn't protest, then you'll have to tolerate their timings. It's that simple.

    r school can't only protest..there are about 25 schools doing the exams...they would also have to protest but would they?

    Do you think recorrection is a good idea if you do not get your desired marks?
    REMARKING: I did my English LIterature in Jan and got an A. Missed the A star by 4 marks and sent it for recorrection but guess what? No change! Similar thing happened to a friend of mine as well.
    For some reason the examiners are really reluctant to increase your marks. Anyways, once you are done with paper 2 and are really confident you deserved better marks, and if your teacher thinks its a good decision to send the paper for recorrection : then GO FOR IT!

    Personally the exam was quite good but the choices they gave us for the second question weren't my favourite :/

    Hello. I am such a mess , i wanted to register for spec B but instead my mishap i got registered into Spec A . I really don't have any idea about Spec A , I know that i have to appear for 2 papers , that's all i know for now.

    I really would appreciate it if some one could explain me the outlines for this papers . How many comprehension , essay or what ever is there . Please , HELP ME !!
