359 ums after remark

Hi,

I was on 357 UMS for physics (AQA) and got a remark on two of my units and got 359 UMS. I cannot remark my Unit 3 as I got 100 on that unit and my ISA was low (due to our teacher marking whole class down heavily).

What are my options? Appealing as I think I could get 1 more mark on the first paper though?!?!

Cheers

I got Unit 1 and Unit 2 remarked BOTH!

I was originally on 357 UMS but I got 1 mark on each paper. (Bringing up to 359 UMS)

Apparently ISAs can't be marked?

Can I go for an appeal with Unit 1?

I think you should just accept it. Your coursework would have been moderated by the exam board; it can be remarked but then the whole cohort has to be done and the school has to request it.

I don't care about the ISA but I think I have done better in Unit 1. I got 42/60 but I think I did better than that. What are my options?

Have you got a photocopy of the paper that your teacher can check?

What can I do? I've got it checked and they said my marks can be even higher!

Will the school support an appeal? Look on the exam board website how to do this.

I am gonna talk with the exam officer tommorow,

sorry if I am bugging you, but how does an appeal work? For me, what circumstances can I put my paper up for appeal?

You'll have to highlight where the examiner has under-marked you and not applied the mark scheme correctly. Input from a teacher for this would help.

Go through question by question.

Btw, it's probably been marked by someone senior so an appeal is unlikely to be successful.
