sorry, i really need help with my gcse's results please can anyone answer me

I am not sure to get my physics and chemistry coursework remark or not... It is because if my marks went up to the expected marks (the marks when my science teacher had marked them), both of my whole grade will go up. I am really concerned about those marks because they are one grade below the expected mark, and they are both the same mark as well... I got 39/50 mark(64/80- umps mark) in those course work results, and it is only a low A (or just an A). But my science teacher had marked them with an A* (46/50, 44/50). It is a huge difference between those expectation... Ithink it is weird that they are both the same mark. And I wouldn't think it will be just an A because we had spent so much time on it, and wrote a lot. On the other hand, I think it should be at least a few marks higher because my biology had actually got the right mark 46/50 (75/80 ums)... Don't know if someone had a similar issue with me... Because even if the mark scheme had change harshly, I still think it shouldn't be that low. And it makes a huge difference to my whole grade... I know it isn't a big matter, cuz the real matter is A level, but...I am not happy about that at all. And it is a little bit weird issue for me, because I changed school for the A level course. When I email my old teachers... they simply didn't reply me any questions I asked... the most important question is did any one had a similar issue with me... and they didn't answer (I told them everything, and they just reply me to find the exam secretary for remarking..., and when I further asked them the questions, I have receive no reply)... it is really rude in my opinion because they don't even reply to my parent's email... Therefore, I am left to this big concern... hope anyone can reply me and I still have two days before the deadline.

You CAN get science ISAs marks reviewed by the exam board - I'm not sure about the deadlines however as that will depend on which exam board you are using.

As other people have said, the exam board just sample a few examples from your school and see if they agree with the school's marking. If not the whole lot can be moderated up, or as it sounds in your case, down. Having said that 46 down to 39 is a massive change so something has gone wrong with the school's marking in the exam board's opinion. It would help to know whether yours were papers that were called for moderation by the exam board in the first place. If they were then it probably isn't worth doing.

Obviously it is up to you if you want to apply to have the marks checked again. You will have to pay to get each one reviewed and you need to bare in mind the marks may remain the same. This is something you arrange through the exams officers in your school however, not through the science teachers.

It is possible to get coursework re-moderated, however it is VERY expensive and could alter the marks and grades of the whole group so it is something that your school is unlikely to do unless the Head of Science reports a problem and requests it. Unfortunately it sounds as though your teacher was a little too generous with their marking. It might even be that internal standardisation picked this up and your ISAs were marked down before the moderation sample was even sent away. It's disappointing and very frustrating that your school won't answer your questions but there really isn't too much you can do about it at this point—especially as the deadline is the 20th.

Remarks aren't possible for coursework because examiners don't look at everyone's coursework only a couple from each group and decide whether to change marks looking at those- a bit annoying because I too wanted my bio coursework to be remarked as I felt my teacher wasn't fair

The school mark all the work in accordance with quite a comprehensive mark scheme supplied by the exam board. The exam board has to check schools are interpreting the mark scheme properly and fairly so they send a list of a certain percentage of students and request their work for checking. If the exam board think think the school have consistently under or over marked they adjust everyone's marks from that school based on the few they have seen.

You can apply to have yours looked at individually again. It costs about the same as getting an exam paper checked. I think its around £35 per item.

You must contact your exam officer not a teacher as the teachers have nothing to do with sorting this stuff out. Its not in the school's interests to ignore you if your papers were heavily moderated down unfairly as an improvement in your grade improves their statistics too!

Yeah, it wasn't fair for us... don't even know how they pick on the moderation. FYI there is people in this thread said that it is possible for remark, but it is a bit too late and expensive though... and hope you get well in A level courses cuz GCSE don't matters now.
