GCSE coursework, apparently it can't be remarked?

[bloomburger]

Is this right?

DDs school have told her she has to resist a GCSE as coursework cannot be remarked.

Not that they won't remark hers but coursework can never be remarked.

She was told she'd get an A for her chemistry coursework but got a D when it was marked by examiner.

Her grade went from a projected A to a C which has a huge impact on a level choices and future.

Are they just trying to wriggle out of remarking the whole years or is it right that the coursework aspect of the GCSE cannot be remarked?

Want to drive down there and strangle someone!!

I think that has always been the case. I'm sure we were told that at school. That it was marked then moderated, that it can go down I remember my English initially being a B but being moderated to a C. I was told that the moderation makes sure the marking is fair.

Corsework cannot be remarked; school is correct.

Posted on your previous thread but individual coursework cannot be remarked. The school can request a review for the complete centre but would only do this if a large number of candidates were affected.

Have spoken to them. There has been some marking discrepancies which they are looking into apparently!

At least something is being done!
