The Exam Board.
I've just received my daughters result from her 1st GCSE maths exam, unit 2 foundation tier.
She got 49 out of 66 which would of been a C grade, but as the exam board have significantly increased the the mark needed to 53 from 41 after she took the exam, but before they marked them she received a D grade.
I, the school and probably many other parents are fuming as we've only just been told of the increase with a letter that came with her result. This is very unfair and as she took the exam before the proposed increase was set, she should of been scored on the old scale surely?
Only 2 kids in the whole class received a C grade, Shocking really. She can re-sit it and only needs another 4pts but that's not the point, as before she sat it she was told she needed 41pts or more for a C and she did that in a subject that's not her best.
The school has put in a written complaint to revise the scores, but I can't see it doing much good. Here's hoping though
