HI guys I know exam is tomorrow and I have read that course work and speaking exam make up 60%. how much exactly does the speaking make up.
Because I got a B in my coursework, a D on my speaking and I am targeting a A for the exam what would you expect me to get if I managed to get the A in the exam tomorrow.

Speaking is 20%
If you managed an A tomorrow you would be sitting on a comfortable B.

Thanks so much for the reply. Gonna aim for 42< in case my coursework gets moderate down. Don't think it will though, I feel as though I deserved my marks. Excited and nervous for tomorrow.
So I got:

Argumentative: 38 + 10 for reading
Persuasive: 36
Narrative: 36

Speaking and Listening I got: 23/30 overall - can anyone tell me what mark I need to get an A or A* please?

I felt like my speaking exam was harshly marked considering everyone else I'm my class who had a different teacher got better marks (and I don't believe that they are better than me) they are still to be finally moderated what do you think is the chance that it will go up? and will it cost for me to get it remarked. my teachers an idiot and has refused to remark my exam.
So what forms of writing does everyone think is gonna come up for Q1?

each teacher's marking is moderated by Cambridge. if your teacher has marked your class harshly then it could go up/everyone else's go down. it is difficult to apply for a speaking remark because it is assessed internally.

So then that means each and every speaking exam is re-watched and re-marked if needed?
