Hello,

dd got 56/80 on paper A, (8) and 47/80 on paper B(6), totalling 103.

The boundaries show she could still keep the overall six even if she went down to 37 on the B paper, if she gets a remark.
38 and above gives her a 7 (A).
dd is in a special school, under Camhs and took it a yr early, and doesn't want to do it again.

Just 104 marks would give her the 7!!, and she got 103.

Did you report her illness and get a GP letter?

If so, she will already have been given special consideration. This will have added a few marks already so a remark probably isn't going to reap benefits .

if she's got 47 surely she can't drop to 37?
This is tricky, is it worth it?
thanks for your answers
