how long does an AQA gcse remark take?

Hey guys, i wanted to know; how many days roughly does a remark for aqa take if i was to send it tomorrow? (getting english language remarked) I know it taken 20 calendar days but how likely is it that it will get back in 10-15 days?

Yeah a month is about right, a normal remark is 20 working days.

I think Edexcel is 20 working days, so a month. I'm not sure about AQA but I can't imagine it'll be too different.

English lit both papers
When I got my exam remarked it's was around a month that was with aqa depends weather or not you get a piroirty remark. Piroirty remarks tend to be quicker.

I am not a 100% sure. It would depend on the college. As I stayed at my sixth from they allowed me to resit my English gsce while doing my a levels. And if you can’t do the course you wanted and the remark comes back that you have passed you may still be able to change. A lot of people swap colleges and courses because they did not enjoy them or did not like the college. I know it’s frustrating I failed my English 4 times and the 5th time I had to get a remark and I was about 2 marks off and that finally came back I have passed. So hopefully it will come back that you have passed. If you need any more help I more then happy to help.

I feel it's wrong for my English teacher to tell me I failed by 2 marks then I don't get told when I'm getting it bk from being remarked. As I felt I had no choice I've emailed my business teacher if she replies or not I don't know. I'm just stressed I'm 19 so I already have no government funding problems now this. I appreciate your help I haven't been me since Thursday I hoped my grade for English language GCSE. This is so important without English I wouldn't be allowed on the full level 3 (3 A levels eqvialent) I'd be only be put on the lower 2 a levels eqvialent and a re sit in English. I feel so down nothin I can do but wait and I'm sick of the waiting game all summer all I thought about was this grade I'm just frustrated I don't feel I deserve this.
