Well, if you're quite a way over the A boundary, it's down to your budget, really.
Have you gone over the grades and raw mark conversion table with a fine-tooth comb on the AQA converter, though? Work out how many raw marks you'd could lose before it became a B!But I must admit, I thought having CA scripts remarked was practically impossible. I thought that for those to be marked again, the exam centre had to submit that subject's entire collection of scripts for re-moderation. For obvious reasons, not every candidate is going to be willing to risk it and give their consent. Were you the one and only GCSE Germanist?
I saw my German tutor today after I'd collected my results, and she said the same for her GCSE set.
While I was visiting the language department, I also endeared myself to the new Head of French, who's just joined the college (and whom I'd thus never met before- so I didn't realise she was a French teacher) as she overheard me explaining to my (German) tutor about how I hadn't really worked enough on my French CAs because I couldn't be bothered with French, and I regretted that.*
German tutor said, "Wash your mouth out Octo! This is the new head of French sitting next to me!"
So, at least my rampant prejudice won't come as a shock to the poor woman when AS French begins!
*If I'd thought the listening boundaries had the potential to be so low that I could get an A* there, I would have spent less time on TSR, and more time teaching myself the French passive tenses... For the first time in my life, my performance on written coursework dragged my exam marks down!
