Really pleased with my results, except Edexcel Business Communications.

I had an A in my coursework, counted an A* when we reviewed the paper and I found the final exam with really low grade boundaries easy. All going well, but I've apparently got a B!

I can't even begin to understand how this has happened!

Anybody else doing this course and had a disappointing score?
ALHAMDULILLAH (praise be to God). I prayed so so much and Allah SWT has blessed me.

11A*s and an A as well as a Level 3 Algebra Qualification.:biggrin:

The overall grades are the capital letters, the lowercase grades are those that you got for individual papers :smile: most schools put the official grades (the caps) at the top of the page.


ok i only have like 8 grades in capitals :frown:
Just picked up my result for AQA higher maths......I got an A which im really pleased about-My UMS was 255......However the maths exams i took were in 3 parts...Unit 1,Unit 2 and Unit 3....how do i work out how far away i was from A* ???
It would be nice to know what marks i got on each unit!


Any help greatly appreciated!!

Also, even though I have my grade I don't have my marks for maths yet and it doesn't show anything for my maths exams so should I call my school about it? Does anyone else have the same?

I'm so disappointed right now... I was aiming for 8 A* so that I could get an honory scholarship - I really wanted it as my family is not doing well financially. I worked my ass off so hard and I missed it by one A*. I got 87/100 for RS and I'm thinking about sending it for a remark but I just dont know if it will be enough time before the scholarships are actually given out and whether or not it is worth it...I'm just a mess right now. I know it seems like good grades but everyone has different expectations of themselves and I put aside basically everything so that I could achieve those 8 A*s and I just screwed up somewhere. Idk

Future ambitions
Was aiming for Oxbridge at first but don't know now... Academics were literally the only thing I focused on, I had zero social life and it didn't even pay off. I know I'm sounding unappreciative but when you aim so high and when you AND everyone else expects more of you, it really puts you down. Everyone thought I was gonna get a scholarship and I'm basically the 'nerd' of my boarding house and now I'm so embarrassed that I'm not getting it... Damn. :/

Aside from that, I hope that everyone else did as well as they expected.

Thanks for your reply

I guesss there no way of knowing individual marks on each unit then?
