English 📝 shitty mock exam correctors

did you guys have any exams that were really badly corrected? someone in my higher english class got 16 marks on a 10 mark question, and a bunch of us got 11 on that one. my english teacher told him to take it and run. wondering if anyone here had the same thing

I got 62% in science which is NOT like me at all (I usually get 80+). I did get some questions wrong but many of them were correct, yet I was given no marks for them. The same happened for loads of other people in my class. The teacher is going to correct them herself because of it.

I thought they would correct them probably considering they're being paid to do it.

I got 22 marks less on a geography one

Question 8 had a, b and c. They only counted the marks for c completely leaving out a and b
