Thanks all. :smile:
What has everyone done with all their CGP revision books? I could do with getting some cash out of selling them, but none on eBay seem to be selling. I figured this sort of time would be a good time to sell as the new academic year is stating? Well, if anyone know a better website/place to sell them that would be great.
When is everyones enrollment day?
have you bought your stationery yet, im planning to buy mine on wednesday :bumps:

have you got ur sixth-form college lesson timetable yet?
Should i remark R.E unit 1 i got 83/100 and unit 2 i got 95/100 = 178/200 2 ums
marks of an A* ? :doh:

Should I remark ICT GCSE I got 54/80 (54=B) on theory exam but on the coursework I
got 83/120 = (84=B) Overall I got a C with 1 Mark of a B from coursework that dropped me.
:unimpressed:

Should I remark English Literature I got a D... Wasn't feeling well that day but on my results
slip it just says my grade overall but not the unit exams such as poetry(40%) and the 2 novel books(60%). :unsure:
Pandora! Look WJEC on the BBC website for their English Language marking! :biggrin: so my whining wasn't uncalled for! :biggrin:

What are your other grades like?
If there normally like A*/A/B then I would deffo get the English remarked because even if it does go down to an E, if you have As's and B's in everything else then it won't matter too much :smile:
The other ones... I would go for the ICT becauuse it's so close, but the r.e doesn't really matter because A or A* is still really good
Just my opinion x

It's only about slightly dodgy boundaries though, not completely wrong marking. The boundaries have only really been moved to go down about 1 grade at most, so I don't think every grade is completely the "fault" of the government. Hence the "uncalled for whining" by much of TSR. :wink:

Well there were some cases of dodgy marking... Not every grade is wrong but I'm sure mine is :wink: hope for a mass remark :tongue:

A mass remark? Why don't you just get your own remarked instead of hoping everyone else's get messed with?

I will :biggrin: but if there's a mass remark then it shows there was something wrong... When people think we are just complaining...

And it won't mess everyone else's up, if they really deserve it it'll stay the same...

Fair point. I still think that the "mass" problem is the boundaries rather than dodgy marking, but each to their own.

Hmmm... The boundaries are really low... Eg for full UMS only about 32/40 raw marks is needed... And 28/40 is an A*... Which is why I'm so shocked... I think some places were affected by incorrect marking..

I pay 3750 euros per subject from where I study xP--and that is excluding stationary stuff.

Anyways, on op, well, sort of: is it worth creating individual AS threads per subject?
With English, I was expecting two Bs but instead got A* in both! So I'm sure not all of them were badly marked - maybe just a few exam boards. So I'm against a mass remark, just incase mine gets marked down! But if you're not happy with yours, get it remarked, and you'll get the remark fee back if your grade goes up!

My enrollment day was on results day! I preferred it that way, got it all done and dusted!

oh god, you poor thing! It'll be good when you come out with six though! I'll only have a few frees, cause of taking five, but at least then I'm getting some sort of break!

How can you afford that?! Wow...

And yeah! I like that idea, then with anyone who's struggling with anything, we can all help each other out, and share revision notes and the like! :smile:
