Not going to explain the circumstances, but as it turns out - I have to write a letter of apology to OCR; I understand the basic concept of saying 'sorry' but with it being an exam bored, I'm sure they'll be expecting more than that - in great volume.
Anyone any ideas what I can waffle on about? :')
Just say you understand how it affected other people, and you realize how wrong [it] was. etc. and tell them how important it is you complete their exams and maybe praise them on something lol.
Just explain that you understand what you have done wrong, and apologise as much as you can that you didn't mean for owt to get out of hand or something like that
What could you possibly do to piss off OCR?! Just write to then telling them that you understand what you did was wrong and that it will never happen again!
Didn't really affect anyone else, and I'll try the sweet-talk approach :')Quote:

They got annoyed.
You might want to send them flowers after that :rolleyes:Quote:

Although I think what you wrote was a seriously dumb thing to write, whether you were angry or not.
I was debating chocolates to be fair. And I could blame it on the school? They've caused me alot of **** the past few months. starting to annoy me big style some certain members of staff..Quote:

For those interested, the letter;
Used the font 'OCR' for the irony. :')Quote:
Dear Sir/Madam
I am writing to you regarding the matter of unacceptable answers which were written in a recent exam. Primarily, I can fully understand your discontent for such matters and can’t apologise enough. I’m sorry for any annoyance or hassle this case may have arisen and can assure you, yourself and the OCR board that it will never happen again.
Although I cannot justify my actions, I can relate to the seriousness of the matter and would like to express my gratitude on allowing me a second chance. At the time it may not have seemed it, but upon looking back, I can see the foolishness of my actions, and it makes me feel slightly embarrassed of myself and I feel as if I’ve let myself down.
As you can probably agree, it’s extremely important I complete all examinations to the best of my ability, and that examination did not reflect that at all – for this, I’m also sorry.
Again, I sincerely apologise for anything relating to this matter and promise not to, even in the slightest, mirror the offence again.
Yours faithfully
Luke Bateson
I think just the gesture of saying sorry should be pretty good for them but you really want to try and sweet talk them a little bit.
The 'saying sorry' bit is off my own back, they're not expecting it. And tbf, I don't think the sweet talk is worth it (that/i haven't a clue where to start with it). I'm not trying to get out of disqualification here, just apologising for the incident
if its just of your back and they arnt requesting it then i think a simple "im sorry, what i said was wrong" should be efficient
I think they asked him to. LOLQuote:

Although it sounds like a good idea, hiding behind someone elses faults is the beginning of the road to failure. Blaming other people for what is ultimately up to you would be the biggest mistake you will ever make.Quote:

If they're not expecting it, why are you bothering? You know not to do it again, they know you won't do it again so I'd just leave it as water under the bridge and move on tbh :)Quote:

I wouldn't apologise at all your reasoning behind your answer seems justifiable to me.... **** OCR. People have done a lot worse in exams trust me :P
Just scrap the apology. What you did was out of anger, nothing to apologize for.. to them your just another angry kid letting his anger out on paper.
