Re-mark of controlled assessments

[dodo3]

Can you get them re-marked. DD was predicted A* and came out with a C, which dropped her overall grade to a A.

It won't be the marking that was wrong, it'll be that the exam board changed the boundaries - or rather set them lower than the school was expecting. Basically when teachers mark work they can only give an educated guess at what grade a certain mark will get. The grade boundaries can change so what got an A one year might be a B or even a C another year. They can also alter schools' marks during the moderation process if they feel a centre has overmarked as a whole, which again a remark won't do anything about. It's rotten for students.

This is OCR all her other CA were As, as were all her other GCSEs. It does not make sense that two CA were C grade and all the other sections were A.
Thank you for the reply

The sooner they do away with all forms of coursework, and controlled assessments and go back to exams at the end of two years, the better.

Because CA's are moderated you can't get a remark. In the scheme of things given all the other overall grades I think maybe you need to move on...
