HELP! English remark

Hi,

I recently received my A2 grades to find that I got a C in English, with a D (58 ums) in the exam. I was really shocked as I thought It had gone well and in all of my mocks I achieved As/Bs and a B in AS. I've been told that English can be quite subjective so I was wondering if it was worth getting a remark?

Thanks!

What was your overall mark, i.e. how close are you to the B/C and C/D grade boundaries?

If you're prepared to take the risk then by all means go ahead! English is indeed very subjective so there's a chance your mark could go up! Best of luck, I hope you get the grade you feel you deserve if you do go ahead with it

Which board, out of curiosity?

Sorry, I made an error in my first post, it was 68 UMS that I got. I think I might have been 2 UMS off of a C in the exam and 3 UMS from a B overall (I got 277 UMS)

Thanks! I was pretty devastated as it was so unexpected, haha, I don't know if I missed part of a question or was just completely off the mark? :L Thanks so much!

AQA

You could get a copy of the script back first for a teacher's view on the marking, but as English marking is subjective it may not be worth the trouble. If you're only 3 off the B overall then you have a 17 mark cushion over getting a D overall and I'd think the re-mark is worth trying. You get a full refund if the grade changes.

I felt the same with a history module so I know the feeling that's the annoying thing, not knowing you're welcome

Ah what a surprise, people always have issues with AQA English

Ahh, are you getting it remarked?

Do they? Haha, I had no idea. Hopefully they were just feeling particularly mean that day!

17 marks? I thought the boundary for a C was 240? So surely Jophesxi is 37 ums over the D grade boundary?

I'm on 276 for English myself and am thinking of getting a remark

I got an A overall and a d in the exam, I'm getting script returned (I still got my place) and my teacher is a qualified marker so will be able to tell me whether to send off for remark, it was very unexpected so I'm hoping its a marling error. Our school has had 4 consecutive marking disasters with AQA and several whole year remarks so i would if its a safe option. In these disasters people have gone from D to A - sarcastic applause for AQA marking standards-

Well done on your A, that's fantastic! Were you doing Lit and Lang A too? Really? That's dreadful, how can they get away with being so far off with their grades! I really hope it was a mistake, was so devastated, only exam I thought had actually gone well! Good luck with yours!

Thanks! Thankfully my courseware was good enough! I did Literature only, I am happy with my grade but do want the exam do go up just because it is so unreflective of my effort!

Oh, thank goodness! Then it really is worth remarking (Unless they decide to be especially mean and take away half of my score, haha). I'm definitely remarking, are you? If you are, good luck!
