No its a stupid system both could get an A at AS then one could get extremely lazy and then both fall ill in march. The system doesn't account for the little things
The whole illness system is even worse at some unis; she goes to Reading, and got extra marks on one of her exams because her boyfriend broke up with her.
I don't know if being given an automatic B or C is a good idea, because it doesn't reflect how well the candidate could have done for better or worse, even if it's the easy way around it.
Is there anyone else on here who can't stop checking TSR (even when they shouldn't be!) for a glimpse of the Edexcel History boundaries?
Me, for Biology and Chemistry though. I had made a pact not to look at boundaries, but I don't know if I'll be able to help myself to be honest. I will try my best to have an early night and wake up for 6....
