Are the 2016 Edexcel mark schemes still going up tonight? I need to definitively settle some disputes with people over politics and history essay answers
Didn't know Arts subject mark schemes worked like that. Aren't you supposed to be marked on the overall quality of the answer rather than being required to include specific points?
For those asking about mark schemes, only the Edexcel Maths ones have been posted (in the respective module threads) as they are the only ones uploaded onto the Edexcel Maths emporium network

No you're right it is on overall quality its just there was some ambiguously worded questions that still needed to be answered in a specific way, there will be some crucial (although not essential) points you have to include but you're unlikely to get a high level if you miss the gist of the question.
Who agrees here that it is annoying that unis know our results a good 4/5 days before us. After all we have to face the nerving wait not them!!
Well it does make sense... And maybe it should be sooner still because there are still a 6th on applicants who will be down as pending on results day. It also means you get some people who know a day or 2 in advanced due to getting welcome packs from their uni which isn't really fair but obviously everyone would love to be one of them.
I'd probably only argue that people who don't apply to uni should get their grades earlier maybe but that's it.

It makes sense I agree but its annoying!! However there is no better alternative
