    Let's be real here. Examiners are human and are prone to error as much as the rest of us. If you get 40 exams in a row, ideally they would be marked purely in relation to all other exams in the country. This, however, is inevitably not going to happen. Are you telling me that an examiner that is marking an exam where 35/40 are writing A level essays that he/she going to give all of them an A in the exam? You must be joking.

    That's what happens. If 35 out of 40 scripts get an A mark according to the marking scale, 35 out of 40 candidates get an A.
    Do not drag up old threads, thanks. Thread closed.
