OCR Lose 40,000 Exam Papers

I'm well aware of that fact. I'm just saying, most people don't do that much different from their mock, usually one grade up. I personally think I did far worse in my real exam than my mocks, so if I get one grade up from my mock, .

I know lots of people who've done much better in the real thing, even I did. Science I got a U, in the real thing I got AA. English I got D, in the real thing A, infact, I did better in ALL my real exams.

dunno about your school but at mine mocks bear very little relevance to the overall grade. i cant be arsed to work for mocks, whats the point, you get an A in a mock, so what it means absolutely sweet fa and you have to relearn everything again for the summer. last year was getting Ds and Es in my practice papers for biology and chemistry, got an A in both at AS quite comfortably.

Well I have just read the articles (yes, I know that it is a little late, but for the past week I have not been on TSR as I have had my French exchange partner over) and am a little worried since 4 out of my 5 subjects were done with the OCR exam board - eek!

I was just wondering if your exam papers got lost and OCR gave you an "estimated grade" would universities be able to find out that you were given an estimated grade and actually decline you from joining the university because of this? Also, on your certificate would it state something like "this is only an estimated grade" or would it just be like normal certificates?

any idea which OCR papers were lost? Wouldn;t be Critical Thinking would it... *hopeful look*

Don't quote me on this, but hasn't OCR said that the rumours/news about losing exams papers were false?

The blame has to fall on OCR ultimately. It is their responsability to set and mark the papers and then give us results at the end. This process may not now happen as smoothly for some as it should due to errors made by Parcel Force. OCR should have put measures in place to stop this from happening, and it is their fault at the end of the day. It is OCRs job to deal with our examinations, not Parcel Force.
