What to do about English Literature AS level mark?

Okay so results day today :-) Not too bad but I am kinda concerned about my English Literature result. It was AS Literature A AQA.

I have been predicted an A throughout the year, felt confident on all my mocks and was getting my target. I did loads of revision and my coursework was an A.

My overall grade was a C but my exam breakdown was an E! I don't know what happened. I felt happy with it, double checked it and I just don't know. My friend got an A at coursework and a C overall with a C in exam. Should I investigate further? I would not be so persistant if I thought I had done badly. I mean a C is okay but not really what I wanted. What do you guys think?

I want to call back my paper but is it worth getting it remarked or checked because I am concerned something went wrong. I did everything I was supposed too.

I'm in a very very similar situation. I did the same course (but with Victorian Literature), got As all year, and a high A for the coursework... But a C in the exam so a B overall.

I didn't think the exam had gone amazingly well, but I was still shocked so I've asked for a remark (and I think the department want to recall my paper) - I'd recommend doing the same. If the remark doesn't go well I'll resit the exam unit next year but it really isn't ideal.

No problem It's bothered me all day and only now have I come to realise that I should relax!
Honestly hope all goes well for you all
I'll stay in touch here when I get the paper back if you would like to know.

I thought the exam was really good. I answered all the questions, followed the instructions, wrote about 3 books in the final question, got As and Bs throughout the year, by some miracle I got As in all of my other exams, got an A in my coursework... and I got a 'U' in this exam, but so did everyone else in my sixth form. For example, a girl aiming to get into Oxford got a 'D' in her exam. My centre is large as well, there's about 80 Lit students and there's just no variety, literally everyone got 'Ds' 'Es' or 'Us' in the exam.

So my sixth form are sending some off for priority re-marking for the people who were expected to get As (so thankfully mine has been sent off) in the hopes that they'll all be re-called once these ones have been re-marked.

But I was talking to someone else not long ago at the opposite end of the country and the same thing happened there, so I think AQA may have f*cked up.

I'm praying it gets sorted out though because I want to do Lit and Creative Writing at uni and this is just causing so much unnecessary stress XD
