Reposted from AIBU:
Can anyone tell me a GCSE controlled assessment will still be marked if a student inadvertently completed it in blue ink instead of black?
My son has apparently done this in his history assessment, and the teacher has left me a message that he wants to talk to me. DS thinks he will receive no marks and that the paper wont be put forward.
Is this likely? He was expecting an A or A*.
I'd like to be prepared for the conversation. I know DS should have read the instructions more thoroughly, and i reaslise that the papers scan less well in blue ink, but surely it isnt the end of the world?
WIBU to think that it is too much to disqualify a paper over it (if they do!), and that in any case the invigilator should have spotted it in class?
