What does 3p mean GCSE Results

Mod Note: If you are looking for retake or resit information for 2022 you can check it out here.

I've got 3P for English Language and a 3 for English lit too. I'm going to
send it off for a remark.
The P means that you got a Pass in your speaking & listening presentation.

Your English Language grade is a grade 3. This is determined by your two exam papers. The speaking and listening, though it doesn't count toward your final grade, still appears on your results slip/certificate separately.

after reading the link above was it worth it getting a remark?


Have you got your raw marks from your exams officer? How close were you to grade 4?


It's a news article. They're going to be sensationalist with their headlines.

I suggest speaking to your teachers, requesting a photocopy of your script, check how close you are to the boundary BEFORE you proceed with a remark.

If the grade stays the same after a remark, you lose the fee. There is also a chance of your grade going down after a remark too.

No. I got my raw marks from my exams officer for free. It's only if you want a copy of the script or a remark where you have to pay.

I was just trying to help you so there is no need to be rude about it.
