GCSE remark advice
Hi there. My son’s English language module result was grades below what was expected. He was extremely upset. His teacher recalled his paper and as a department they believe it was harshly marked. My question is how likely is it that the score will increase significantly. Thank you for any advice as I’m managing a very disappointed child.

How close was he to the grade boundary and how many marks do the department think his mark could increase by? Usually marks dont change but they can go up by usually 1 or 2 marks mostly, or they can go down. If the department think he could gain more marks then check how close to the boundary your son’s score was.

He’s about five from the next grade. The English department feel that his paper has been scored very harshly.

Thanks so much. The next grade up will still mean a resit however he felt the exam went really well and his confidence is shattered. I’m hoping for a ‘it was t as bad as that” solution.

I was gonna say if your son was close to a higher grade then it's worth a shot, I've heard a few people got higher grades from the remark. However if he still needs to resit and it's just a matter of confidence then maybe just hearing from his teachers or getting a website like Tilf to mark ti can be enough. I keep my fingers crossed for him.
