I think Edexcel screwed up a lot

I would but there is a chance of getting marked down, but i think thats really rare x

I've been reading a lot of posts by people studying with edexcel, who used to get As in their subject and ended up with E's and U's. A friend of mine has the same problem with biology. I think Edexcel might have screwed up a lot this exam season, either they marked them incorrectly or there were some mistakes.

Anyone agree?

I was predicted an A or B in Biology but ended up with a C... I was so upset but my teachers said because I did worst than expected in my other subjects as well, it was likley to be down to me. Got an email today from exams department at my school saying:

Following a review of AS BIOLOGY UNIT 2 by the EDEXCEL exam board we are pleased to inform you that your overall grade has changed

ORIGINAL GRADE C REGRADED TO B

I was so shocked, as I hadn't even considered getting a remark. Put my trust in Edexcel marking system, but clearly they mucked up!! I was ten marks off the next grade up in the paper that got remarked, so even if your note especially close to the grade boundary I would still say to go for it !!! One of my friends who got a B, then got marked up to an A!!!

Do you have to pay for a remark and how much is it?

yes, around 40-something pounds. depending on the exam and board.

Tbh I think they low grade a selected few just so we get it remarked and they make money! I got a D in an edexcel history paper which I have never got in any mock I wanted a remark but my teacher told me it wasn't worth the money.

I'm also bilingual, I'm actually applying to study English Literature at university post A level.
In my view, this is a test of Russian language for learners and speakers included. It is, like French, which is developed for a two year learning period...I believe the English Language exam is developed with an understanding of those who are taking it are most likely native speakers so I presume it is significantly harder. If I wanted a test of Russian language similar to your English one, I would have went to Russia for that.

The thing is, I got above 90% in every unit but one which was 72% and this is an anomaly. It's frustrating because I heard a person fluent in Italian got a U, this is just a joke.

I am in exactly same situation as yours for Russian. Overall grade over 90%, and last unit like 98 UMS. Have you had yours sent off for a remark?

How long did peoples Edexcel non priority remarks take for as level?
Did anyone do a RS Edexcel remark and get changes to their exam?

Edexcel Politics and AQA RS, still waiting on both non-priority. I'm expecting it by latest end of september

How long did peoples Edexcel non priority remarks take for as level?

I've just started my A levels so I don't know how the marking was for A level Edexcel exams - but I did send off an Edexcel Economics GCSE exam off for a remark as I was 3 UMS off an A* - instead of it going up, it went down by 3 UMS which was disappointing.
I sent it off on Friday and it came back yesterday (Tuesday). I was quite shocked as to how quickly it came back, considering it only took 4 days (including the weekend) to mark mine as well as many other remark requests.
Any suggestions on what to do now? Should I leave it or request a script?
