Title: Need Help ASAP
Post by: omar312 on August 11, 2011, 12:45:09 pm

I need Help ASAP, I don't know a lot about forums but i created this account to get an answer to this question:
I had my Cambridge applied ICT AS LEVEL exam this june and i did really well, I can honestly swear that i could have gotten an easy A on that exam but i was shocked to know that i got a D. I just do not get it. my mock was very similar to the actual  exam and i got an A in my mock.
what should i do? do you guys recommend me getting a remark ?
P.S : please answer me, do not remove my post or something like that.

in your mock your grading threshold was only against your school!! the exam was against many competitors!! its normal!
if ur confident you should try again and work extra hard!

Get a remark. Though yes, shocks like this are not very uncommon, but you should still try to get a remark anyhow; mentally prepare yourself to reappear in the subject or drop it in case your remarking request does not bear results.

Reappear.

Don't waste your money on rechecking. Changes in grades rarely happen but still they do happen so if you are confident enough about your paper, then go for rechecking otherwise don't.

I agree with them get a remark if you are 100% sure that it is somehow a mistake on their part. But then again, find time to think this through, the exam may be a lot similar to your mock exams but the directions may not hence, you are marked wrong.
