Should I demand to be entered into the higher tier paper gcse

[CheeseToasty]

Hi all, hope you can give me some advice. I am retaking GCSE English this year and was entered into the foundation paper however I was not informed of this until very recently. The teaching of the course has been up and down due to the teacher quitting half was through which is why when we asked about tier earlier we did not get an answer. While I only need a C I was disappointed to be entered into foundation.
The manager at my college told me that if I only need a C then I would be better sitting the foundation paper. However I have been looking at the grade boundaries and to get a C in foundation I would have to score a lot more than I would on the higher. The exam questions a exactly the same on both questions, except that the foundation has a few bullet points on two questions for support. What shall I do?

(You'd do well to find a tutor who's also an examiner for that paper).

If you don't get your C, it's worth getting your marked paper back from the board so you can see where you lost marks and then go through it with your tutor to see how you could have picked up the extra marks you needed. Edexcel charge £7.75, your college may charge as little on top of that but it shouldn't be much. It has to be the college that apply for it back though, you can't do it yourself.
