Teh Super Awesome Juicy CURRENT YEAR 11 (2012-13) THREAD; MARK I

Original post by MangoFreak

None

All my pieces that exceed the minimum word limit are at school. And I thought about the fact that Coursework.info uploads to a plagiarism prevention database; if the GCSE exam boards use the database (which they probably do) and I upload copies of my coursework which hasn't yet been submitted, then it might get flagged when being marked. Now because of the controlled assessment protocol stuff, my teacher could probably confirm that I did write it myself, and my name is submitted with the work, but it might be annoying :lol:

Yeah, I worried about that. I plan to upload all my stuff at the end of Year 11, that way there should be no problems :smile:

What's the minimum?

Also... Does it have to be of a high standard... As I have lots of A grade practise narratives and descriptions...

Essays have to be a minimum of 500 words, if I remember correctly.

And you put in the mark that you received for it. They don't have to be of a high standard, but I don't think they accept anything below a grade E.

From what the person below said, for the amount of marks you'd need to bring it to an A, I highly doubt a remark can give you over 20 points, I'd said it's near impossible. So you just have to honestly ask yourself whether you're capable of the higher grades, if you just messed up then go ahead but if it's not really within your grasp then I'm sorry. But if you have the chance and you're willing to, I'd recommend the retake.

No, I worded that badly, grades are fine :smile:

You have to choose out of:

•

Not known

•

Top mark (e.g. A/A*, 1st, 75%+)

•

Upper middle mark (e.g. B, 2:1 60-75%)

•

Lower middle mark (e.g C, 2:2, 45-60%)

•

Lower mark (e.g. D/E, 3rd, 45%-)

I don't see this confirmed anywhere.

Besides, the amount of people whining about remarks and retakes that I've seen over the last few days has been ridiculous. Whatever happened to accepting the blame instead of pushing it on to someone else?
