Hey people, I was hoping someone here could help me,if they’ve ever gone through smtg similar or have any idea what I should do in this situation.
I recently got my GCSE results and was pretty happy with my grades except from my Art& Design grade, which I got a 4(a just-about pass)in!
I was so disappointed despite having worked so hard and always getting nothing less than a grade 7 in all my mocks I ended up getting a 4 in my official GCSE result.
This was so shocking as I never got rid of any work, met deadlines and any art teacher at my school would say my art pieces were exceptionally beautiful. Art is a course-based subject and our own teachers mark our work, my art teacher has always graded me for a 7 and even stated I would be aiming for a 9 if I kept up the exceptional work. That’s why when I got a 4 I was so disappointed and on the verge of tears.
I don’t know what went wrong and it’s not fair as I have worked so hard for 2 years on my art course work. May I also add that another pupil in my class has gone through the EXACT SAME thing, which has led us to blame our teacher and made us think she probably didn’t submit all our pieces to the final examiner, she wasn’t a very organised person and had other priorities. We have both requested a remark, and I am praying our outcome will be better, we worked really hard towards our art work and I hope it didn’t go to waste, it is also affecting my application.
Has anyone ever gone through the same thing and what did they do about it? Any advice and assurance will be appreciated. Thank you!
