Update on this:
I am going to request access to my original script, as i believe i am looking at a clerical error here.
I will be interested to see my marks per question and how it relates to the marking scheme.
My centre told me that as well as grade boundary changes the marking was more rigorous
however that would not explain at drop of more than 25%.
Also a shame i cannot compare it with last years paper, natural progression after another years
hard study should have taken care of the grade boundary changes.
Although the questions were obviously different and i did 2 different modules my answers were
all in the same style that served me so well in 2022, also the marks per paper were broadly equal
so there is not the explanation of misreading a question and going off on a tangent, unless i did that
on both papers.
Unless some obvious error comes up it does appear that one examiner in 2022 considered me an A
candidate (even on the 2023 boundaries a high B) and after a further year of study and progression a
different examiner considered me a mid D candidate.
There is a massive difference between the two, and further more having thought i knew what the
examiners required i now do not have a clue.
When i think back to my answers i genuinely thought i had produced a `tighter` script than in 2022 and
made a progression, instead i fell of a cliff.
This may remain a mystery although i have thought doing it yet again with the 2 remaining modules i
have yet to study would be interesting...
