Default Can someone give me an idea of how I've done on Leisure & Tourism Double Award?
 
I appreciate it's very difficult to get a clear idea of how someones done from merely a breif discription of their work, but it's been worrying me for ages now. My coursework, although pretty much all complete, could still do with little touch-ups here and there, and also as I was in a hurry to get it completed it's not all formatted and pretty, but it's all grammatically correct and in a logical order and I feel it's pretty detailed.

The exam is the grey area, I answered every question compeltely on the paper, excluding one small one worth 1 point I think, and answered the question where you're asked to describe what a tourist town has to offer over roughly 1 page accurately, I believe it was worth 9 points.

Although I hope I have done ok, I was speaking to a friend who took it last year, and he was telling me the examiners are petty and pick out any little thing which can easily drop you from a C/C area to below.

Also, being a double award, do the two grades you receive have to be the same, like an average, or can they be different (ie, can you receive something like a C/D)?

Thanks for any help.

Examiners mark positively as far as I know, they are told to ignore things that are wrong and concentrate on the right things.
