Ds is dyslexic and had a scribe for all of his exams. Also 25% extra time which he admitted he didn’t tend to use
. Throughout the last 2 years he was predicted to obtain a 3 in eng Lang but somehow managed to get 2 marks off a 5 in his mocks on the back of very little revision. As we expected he got 3 in the final exam. Because his other grades were very good, he’s been accepted at sixth form to study the subjects he wanted despite lacking the eng Lang. He’ll hopefully retake in nov or next year. I’ve suggested we find out what his marks were to see if it warrants a remark - if it’s successful it will save him an awful lot of extra work and let him concentrate on his A’levels. He’s adamant we don’t - he reckons the college wants a 5 in English Lang and he needs to get this instead - otoh I suspect the college will be quite happy to accept a 4 due to his other grades being pretty much what they asked for. It would still be pass after all. If he’s so close to the grade boundary for a 4 I am so tempted to just do it but obviously ds would feel very much let down. Trouble is he’s so dogmatic and gets fixated over certain things without thinking rationally. Just wondered if anyone had any advice !
