So, I'm just ridiculously stupid.

I have 2 questions. My geography has been a failure. First of all, I got into the exam hall and with a few other people got the foundation tier paper... and hadn't been informed I was taking it. Apparently I was entered into foundation, but hadn't been consulted about it. I assumed I was taking higher. The same thing happened with about 6 other students. I refused to take foundation on principal, so they gave me and 3 others that has been entered for foundation a higher paper to do.

- is this allowed? I didn't think it would be.

- Because I was SO thrown about all of that, I actually was stupid enough to put all my information (canditade no, name, etc) on the front of the paper. Can I rescue this, or I am just destined NOT to get a GCSE in Geography???

ahhhh

That is really bad that you weren't told what paper you were doing or anything?

Can you have a word with your teacher or something because I think they can decide based on the circumstances. The invigilators wrote that there was a lot of noise outside our German exam in the report or whatever, so I'm guessing they could mention this?

Its worth a try, if not just hope for the best, you might find you managed to do ok.

I'm sure you aloud because earlier in the year i was entered for foundation for english and i argued my way to get a higher paper which i managed to :smile:

thankfully. But one of the teachers said if your not happy with the what paper you have then you can just ask for a different one. So i'm sure it will get marked :smile:

Yes, totally OK. Your exams officer will complete the required administration to change your entry.

yeh I was thinking the same. You have to write your name and candidate number on your answer booklet so how can you fail by writing it

Haha, sorry, I wrote that late last night. I meant I DIDN'T write any of my info on the front. But its ok now. I emailed the woman at our school who is head of exams, and she realised and filled it in for me. :smile:
