Let’s talk!
Firstly, everyone should be extremely proud of everything you’ve achieved today. If you received a result that wasn’t what you were hoping for then have a look at the information below.
Remark ✅
Sometimes an examiner can miss a mark or two when deciding on your final grade. If your UMS mark was 95/120 you’re not far off an A which is 96. You do need to consider the scaling and grade boundaries but this is an option you could consider. Your school will be able to organise a remark request and discuss fees for this.
REMEMBER - a remark can also go down and you will retain the lower mark. Have a talk with your teacher before you do anything!
Resit ✍🏻
If you have sat either unit 1 or 4 only once then you can repeat either unit in May 2025. This is a second chance to show the examiner what you can really do. If your result is lower than your original mark you will retain the higher mark so you’ve nothing to lose.
Other things to consider:
If you are considering a remark or a resist it might be worth ordering a PHOTOCOPY of your transcript. This would give you and your teacher an opportunity to see if a) it is worth going for a remark and b) the areas to focus on for the resit.
All of the above will have a fee but you’re school should be able to provide you with that information.
Remember order a photocopy so that you still have the option for a remark!
You could also join Mr Boyle’s classroom and get some extra help in achieving your goals. I will be posting available days soon.
Lots of options to explore so it’s not over yet.
