Students 'missed out' due to AQA

[Recursion]

Hey, don't blame AQA, blame the teachers who end up marking them.

No, it's AQA's fault for implementing a new system without testing it or having a fall back plan for situation like this. With a new system they should have marked the exam papers using the old and new system.

My school uses AQA for everything.

Great.

Yeah, but its up to AQA to recruit these markers. If they're missing things out then in my opinion they clearly aren't up to the job!

I agree with you here. I was more aiming towards the people moaning about getting their tests re-marked.

You would assume that teachers know their stuff! Though in subjects like English, that involve lots of writing, it totally depends on the opinion of/how the examiner is feeling. You'll never have a perfect system really.

Thirteen people affected is hardly many. Exam papers can never be perfectly marked whether it's by computers or people, some error is inevitable so I don't see a big fuss tbh.

622 is a lot, however. Despite that, I agree that some error is inevitable. You can have it on the fanciest machine going. As long as it's humans marking them (and lol who'd want robot markers ), there's going to be some degree of error.

When I did my ICT GCSE it was with AQA and it was undermarked, nobody in my class got higher then DD. When the exams were sent back my teacher went over them all and gave us the marks we shouldve had... I would've got AA but it goes on record as DD and because it was only one class they never did anything about it :@
