Hi. I'm just interested to know if anyone has received any remarks back yet and if so, how long they took and what the outcome was? My DS has a AQA English Language in for remark and it is like waiting for the GSCE results all over again!!

Hi - Has anyone received a successful remark of gcse Eng. Lang with the WJEC board. My DD was 2 UMS (1 raw mark) away from an A.

No, but also waiting for an outcome from WJEC, although for English Literature. We had a similar dilemma - whether to ask for a second paper to be remarked before deadline, without knowing the result of the first remark. Just for info, having spoken to WJEC last week, I understand that they sometimes accept a late application for a remark (we decided to stick with the request for one paper to be remarked - might try for a late application on the second paper, depending on the outcome).

Still waiting here too - AQA and Edexcel

Surely we're the last left waiting! ?!

Wish ds had done aqa English language as well. The school decided to switch to igcse at the end of year 10. He got A in AQA English lit (1 mark off A which then went down 8 marks in a remark), but B in igcse English language which he was really surprised at as he had got As in mocks. We've asked for his paper back as he thought the exam had gone really well and doesn't understand where he went wrong. He's considering retaking it in November. I'm worried at the moment it's going to go down like the English lit did.

QOD · 18/09/2015 21:37

Hmmm. Dd took the IGCSE as well as Aqa English Lit and language so not a disaster if it's not picked up. She got A in all 3

Waiting for eng Lang history and music creative task.

The creative task was hugely moderated down for all the group - dd got a b ( unheard of for her). The history is a mystery 3 papers a* a and d. We are hoping its a miscounted or something though it could get a catastrophic misunderstanding of course. English I dunno but they've all gone off.

We will see. Only the history is important to her really as it might limit what she can apply for in the future even with a good predicted a2 grade, given there will be no AS to prove the GCSE was a " blip"

Majaso12 · 18/09/2015 19:54

I'm feeling quite anxious about that one as it's a smaller exam, so only needs 2 marks to go up, but then 9 marks down would go down a grade. Not such a risk with sciences.

QOD · 18/09/2015 19:46

Yes majaso

Still waiting for one here as well. AQA RS sent off on the 8th. Had an interesting discussion with our exams officer at school today. She said that out of 100 remarks submitted, approx 20% have gone up (unfortunately one had gone down). I thought that % was quite high, so definitely worth a go.

QOD - do you mean the igcse English language?

QOD · 18/09/2015 18:56

majaso that form went in last Fri ...

thunderbird69 · 18/09/2015 18:47

QOD - that's a while, I was told they were taking about 1 week (DS's were sent off a week today but not heard anything)

Majaso12 · 18/09/2015 18:30

AQA chemistry went up 1 mark on unit 1 and 3 marks on unit 2. Biology unit 1 didn't change, so put unit 2 in for remark today.

Has anyone had any remarks for CIE igcse English first language back yet? We put it in on results day and it's still not back.

QOD · 18/09/2015 18:06
