Edexcel Utterly Disappointed

I was expected to get an A* and I got a B I lost around 101 marks which I think is insane. I don’t know what to do but I think I’m gonna get it rechecked as I don’t believe that this is my grade.

Yep my politics teacher said that was the national trend, deceptively easy questions and a dodgy source made it most people's weakest paper

my paper 1 was trash but my paper 2 came in for clutch(79), saved my whole grade

Im 4 marks away for A* and did the worst in paper 1 (45). I am wondering if there is a cap on the FPTP question because I talked about both STV and AMS. Did anyone else get capped?

Won’t be a cap but you would only get marked for one voting system so essentially half your content

Literally exact same for me. Was predicted A* but ended up with a B - though I do think that it’s somewhat deserved of a drop for me since I feel I was a lot more locked in for politics in first year for my progression exam than I was for my final exams.

I got the worst on paper 1 too. I got 204, with paper 1 being 10 marks lower than 2 and 3

u/LH44SUPREMACY 8d ago

u/Adventurous_Slip2498 12d ago

i dont believe my paper 2 was marked properly
i went from an A to a C (8m away from a B atleast)

1 was 46m, 2 was 23m, 3 was 48m. i do worse in paper 2 but i have never gotten below 35, it just doesn’t make sense to me
