Wonder if you could advise. DS sat an exam that he thought went well. He had been getting firsts in his essays throughout term. He studies history.
He felt the exam went well, and he thought that he had “nailed” 2/4 questions as they were perfect for his knowledge. He followed exam technique advice.
He was expecting a first in the paper.
He got 62. This brought down the entire grade from a first to a 2.1.
He says what he really really doesn’t understand it, and is certain he answered the questions correctly as has checked the paper again.
He cannot get a remark easily, and the paper as standard has been double marked.
