Update on Matt's progress to University

[wayneg]

By the way Wayne, I did BA (Hons) English Language so I'm happy to answer any questions that Matt may have about the course/department in general.

Thanks Lauren, will let him know.

Yes, he narrowed it down to Leeds, Newcastle or Lancaster.
He liked the look of their English Language study abroad course, will do 2nd year at North Carolina Chapel Hill Uni.

Sounds great

Thanks Elaine, we are very proud of him.
He has decided to have his Psychology paper re-marked. It was over 4 units, units 1, 2 & 3 all A's but for the final unit something went wrong only getting a C, overall that gave him B. Last Saturday we totalled up all the scores, he was 2 marks off an A overall so he hopes a remark will gain him 2 more marks. Doesn't make any difference to his future but he wasn't happy with B.

What exam board it it? If it was OCR they are notorious for bad marking Good luck with the remark but I should warn you that papers rarely change, the exam board doesn't like to admit they made a mistake!!

It was with AQA, I know 3 people had a re-mark, all got what they wanted. One was given 8 marks more than first time. As I said doesn't matter at all so its worth a try.

Remark results have arrived for Unit 4 Psychology:
Original mark 68 UMS Grade C = overall Grade B
Remark 85 UMS Grade A = overall Grade A

I think whoever marked originally was having a bad day, Matt knew he should have had A.

Final grades now:
Sociology: A*
English Language: A
Psychology: A
General Studies: A
EPQ: A
AQA Baccalaureate: Distinction
