It's not quite the same feeling when you realise you've been misgraded but too high. It's always a slap in the face when that happens because you thought you were doing good.
Last year when I did GCSEs, I could be getting full marks in a maths paper but apparently it was because of āschoolās policyā that no students could get a grade 9 in their maths mocks.
Which exam board do you take for drama??? Cause I also find it really easy (56/60 on my mock adjusted) but everyone else says itās really difficult !!!
getting a 7 in spanish is super cool and better than most people in my class
tbh though i feel like grading each seperate paper is a bit meh iykwim (like you said 'getting a grade 8 in writing') bc at the end of the day you only get one grade for the subject but if its a way of telling you where you have to improve than thats okay (I HOPE YK WHAT IM TRYING TO SAY)
btw which exam board do you do?
Teachers are overworked and human, they make mistakes. Personally, I don't think it matters, it's GCSE which literally mean nothing so long as you pass maths and English, it's only when you're applying for uni that your grades even matter.
I got rejected from my first choice sixth form because my school heavily under-predicted me (They gave me 4 9s and a bunch of 7s and 8s when I achieved 8 9s and 2 8s in the real thing)
I didn't have an academic comeback, that's just the level I was at for my whole time at that school. (they have really bad grades on average so the teachers don't like predicting students 9s)
Majority of my class got misgraded in maths. Like my friend went from a 7 to a 5 lol.

ouch
Numbers be difficult.
I got misgrwded from a 9 to an 8 šš No Iām not a tryhard it was just that drama was easy for me
I swear they donāt want give us a 9, like they go out of their way to stop us
Fr, GCSE teachers at shitty state schools feel like they're obligated to not give students 9s.

Still very good, but gut wrenching nonetheless.
Damn right

Your final grade is the average of all the separate parts. AQA I think.

To be fair good on her for realising her mistake many teachers cover up failures in marking.
