Hi, has anyone had GCSEs remarked and what was the outcome? Or A levels? Our DD actually went down from her mocks by a couple of grades despite revising hard so thought it was worth a try. She's not close to the lower border so unlikely to go down. Thanks

But the head of English reviewed the paper first and just said 2 of the questions was faulty marked and the other a bit harsh. Nothing about missed question. Thought he might go up to a 6 if he was lucky

Thanks for the info although I didn’t really understand what it actually meant.

I’ve just received an email to say following a review of the marking he’s gone from a 5 to an 8. On one paper from 45 to 74 marks, I’m astounded really.

What wonderful news!!!

The marking on Lit has been shocking this year. It's just has likely to have come from awful marking than from a missed question.

My dc had 2 subjects at A level reviewed and both went up a grade! Thankfully it didn’t make a difference to their uni offer but it certainly could have and I can’t believe that so many people I know have had similar experiences. Seems so unfair as there will be lots of pupils close to boundary and they deserve the right grade in the first place! 🤦🏻‍♀️

Can you please pass the memo on to the SQA in Scotland - we also want a remark for our DC. Not a "marking review" !!

You can’t get a remark in England either - it’s a review
