German GCSE coursework not at expected grade?

I got a B in my German, and I was hoping for higher.

I got;
1. A (Listening)
2. A* (Speaking)
3. B (Reading) (I messed up in the exam so I was expecting that but not...)
4. D (Writing)

So that was a suprise, considering my teacher said it was A*/A and ended up as a D... Can it be a mistake or differing opinions of a marks? I would appreciate your comments on this, and if I could get it re-marked. I didn't get to speak to my teacher as she was on holiday.

Thanks in advance.

It could be a difference in opinion in marks or it could be a mistake. Are there any other teachers you could speak to? They might be able to suggest whether it is worth getting a remark and should be able to tell you if something has gone wrong. Remember that the grade boundaries were quite harsh this year, but that's quite a way off your teacher's prediction. Hopefully this all gets sorted out soon! Good luck!
