(Original post by I_know_nothing)Still waiting for AQA english lang, it's been 13 days and been told within 20 days! Everything crossed!

I’m still waiting for my language from AQA too, the school made me get mine remarked I didn’t pay so does that change the amount of time I have to wait for result?

You only have to pay if the mark doesn't change, I'm sure the school will have to pay if it doesn't. They obviously believe your mark is wrong to do this. All remark are done within 20 days x

No change, unfortunately! I think this year's re-mark will be stricter. His school warned us it has become a 'review of marking' rather than a complete re-mark. This implies that rather than looking at the script afresh, the examiner just checks to make sure that the original marker applied the mark scheme appropriately.

Good luck to everyone still waiting!

Chemistry - 8 (1 mark off a 9)

He doesn't seem too bothered now! He was really cross on Results Day as got 9s for everything apart from Eng Lang and Lit. He was 2 marks away from an 8 for Lang but AQA obviously had no interest in scrounging those couple of marks together for him!

Have you had to pay for each individual paper to be marked or are they classed as one paper ?

I've retaken as an adult and will have to pay for each paper separately but only if the mark doesn't change so fingers crossed 🤞

Fee is per paper. It is worth speaking to your teacher or exams officer to get a mark breakdown for each paper to see which one you should submit for review/re-mark.

On results day my daughter got an U for Spanish. We questioned this and the school investigated with AQA... just found out one whole component was not marked AT ALL!!! This has now been marked and she got a 4. Shocking that this could even happen
