English GCSE Controlled Assessments?

Just to state, I'm with the AQA exam board. So basically what happened was that in middle of one my controlled assessments, I stupidly (regret it to this day) wrote the word "Arse" in the middle my paper. And it eats me up inside whether I would be able to re-sit it before the paper is sent off to the exam board, because i am certain that the exam board will fail that paper (if they don't then that will be fantastic). I'm currently at B in my English, I do not want that to drop to a C!!!

Oh don't worry about it mate they don't mind you know that they only take a small sample probz 5/160 in a year group for moderation. Also if your teacher tells you urs is in for moderation tell them you wrote it because they have them in a folder and can easily modify it.

Also btw you can actually retake it because i was able to with any of my controlled assessments just ask if its that bad ur safe XD While on the other hand if this was a exam paper they proably wouldn't mind anyways :smile:


Oh by the way im at college at the moment so knopw all this controlled assessment stuff in the past :P

cheers mate, its really calmed me down. I've been so worried about this over the last few weeks; not knowing whether the teacher had seen it or not, and worrying about what she would say once she did know
