Does anybody else feel that although it was necessary for the govt to do a U turn on being able to use CAG results, their child has not benefitted from it as now grades seem to generally be over inflated. My ds goes to a school which has always been cautious with its predictions and it seems they also were with CAGs. Although he received A star, A , A he finds it frustrating that he wasn't given in an A star in a second subject as originally predicted. He finds friends from other less academic schools seem to have had much higher grades awarded as a result of their CAGs. Does anybody feel that their child's results have suffered as a result of being at a school with less than generous CAG predictions? Can one appeal a CAG result?

Mine was awarded a 7/6 for igcse on the Tuesday.
Few days later the board changes it's stance and school reduce grade to 5/5.
Now, a friend says the website says they'll get the higher of the two.
All we can do is wait and see.
I don't think the results matter anymore they just need to stop messing the kids about.
