So it happened. All year I've been predicted at least an A in Music and my teachers said I've got chances to get an A*. Had a good A in AS.
Got a B in a-level, need 4 UMS marks for an A.
My performance scored 88/90 which is very good (marked by the college), but I have a distinction in grade 8 so I was super confident about that part.
My composition and technical study got... a C.
Even though two teachers checked my composition before I had to submit it and said it was very good and I should get at least an A or even an A*.
And I've done about 100 technical exercises this year and NEVER had a C, 95% of time it was a very good A with 0-2 minor errors. I've got grade 8 in music theory and my A-level result doesn't make sense since I did grade 8 only 4 days before that without any preparation (as I had 7 exams that week!) and grade 8 theory is much harder than any of the a-level stuff...
And finally I got a C for my written paper.
Wrote hundreds of essays this year... Ended up getting full marks for most of them before the exam.
Had an A for a mock without any revision. And before the exam I spent a whole day learning given that I knew the stuff before. My teachers are very very good so I don't have any doubt I wasn't taught properly, I will always be thankful to these amazing people...
So...
Applied to get a priority script for the written paper and a priority remark for the Composition and Technical studies.
And now I'm absolutely terrified not to get that A or even to lose marks...
How long will the priority remark take? And what do you think my chances are?
