Unfair GCSE question?

Question

I got a B in my resistant materials coursework. I was told i would have to get over 10% in my RM exam in order to get a C. My overal grade was a D. I cannot belive this, in no way did i think i messed up, i think i at least got 50% right in my exam. Should i pay for it to be remakred? I would just feel like such a t*t if i paid £40 for it to be remarked and it was still an overall D.

Answer 1

Tests do have errors. But usually there are only a couple of questions on a given test that contain errors. This is more likely a misunderstanding between you and the person who told you that you only need better than 10%

I would go to the person who told you that you only needed 10% right to get a C, and let them know that you are sure you did better than that and still got a D. See what that person says and pursue it from there.

Standardized tests are a notorious *****... They keep them so secret and you only get to see them for a short while during the test. It makes it very difficult to find and object to mistakes.

Good luck!

Answer 2

If you feel strongly about it, you should DEFINITELY get it remarked. You should anyway, because the big difference between a C and D is pass and fail.
