Viewing the scripts

tolosenc

It's this weekend. Has anyone heard about times/dates etc.?

cocoa

yep, I'm saturday morning. Does anyone else find it kind of weird/amusing that they won't allow you bring any sort of recording equipment in with you? *shrug*

Your Man

in my school its friday 6-9 saturday and sunday, dunno if every school is different though?

cocoa

oh! hmmm, I never realised that... In my school there will be script viewing on friday evening, saturday morning and saturday afternoon but each student is assigned one viewing period and can only view their scripts in that time.

I am going to view mine on 2nd september.

At the bottom of the form you fill in there were three dates. This was sent back to me with one ticked and i was told to come in then, fri between 6 and 9 pm. Also, the postcard must be brought in to be given access to your papers afaik

Friday 6-9 for me too.

Will the marking schemes be available in there?

Corruptedmorals

Yep, to check your paper against. You're allowed a calculator, to add up marks I suppose, but no phones or 'writing instruments'.

Just a thought, is it necessary/ideal to bring a teacher along?
I mean I am not a teacher, so I don't know how to judge papers like Business etc besides incorrectly totted up marks, If I deserved a better/worse mark
I think I might just go along by myself tbh.

I looking at all my eight papers, so it would be a bit much to ask all my teachers to come in. Most of them would probaly be busy anyway. Are many people still waiting on their times, i still haven't got mine?

I haven't heard anything yet... Should I be worried?

TheInvisibleFie

I wouldn't be worried obl. It's not like it's the department sending them all out together. It's the individual school so yours might just be taking a while. Nothing to worry about.

I got mine for Saturday morning for English. I didn't want to look but my teacher told me too. I'm just bringing a calculator.

Sources Please. I dont believe this rubbish as my sister a few years ago viewed all of her papers and brought in a good few teachers into the viewing room with her. Obviously she was only allowed 1 teacher at a time. They werent strict about it what so ever.

Could you try to brush up in your spelling a bit as I HATE people who write "U" instead of "you".

I think you can bring in only one person per script, not one person for the whole lot.

Just got the slip yesterday. Got the Friday session from 6:00-9:00 pm.

im...LOST

Friday from 6-9 for me. My Engineering teacher will be there because he's the coordinator for the viewing of the scripts.

I dunno about my maths teacher though.

cookiemonst3r

what are you allowed to bring in?? do they give u a marking scheme when you're in there??

shazzyshaz

do the teachers come in anyway without having to be asked...surely they do??

again, as with teachers coming in to hear results, it is not a given that they will be present, they are not obligated to do so.

I know teachers in my school made it clear that if you wanted them to view your script and help you decide, you had better get in touch and ask them politely.

As a point of interest, who is getting papers checked even though they don't need (potentially extra) points?

JBoyle4eva

I was given my slip the day of the results. My principal was there so it was all done and sorted by the time i left with my results. Thinking back, i wish i applied for English. I'd loved to see how the marks went.

I am, getting both Economics(A2) and English (C2) rechecked, economics should have been an A1 and English at least an A2. Am also considering having German(A2) rechecked, will look at script first.

cocoa

I don't know I'm getting anything rechecked, I haven't viewed my scripts ...

I'm viewing English (consistent A2 or higher and got a B1) and Chemistry (got an A2 but I reckon I rock more than that :P)

would be nice to higher english and have straight As :P

carlowboy

Really having a look at everything, just to see how I did.

I don't see the sense in doing that tbh. I mean you're potentially risking losing €37 for a chance of a small amount of extra satisfaction which will last about a month before no one gives a **** what points you got in the LC anymore(actually, by the time you get the results of the appeal, it's likely that no one will give a **** at that stage anyway, so....).

Like, I personally think I was pretty unlucky not to get an A1 in maths, but an A2 isn't exactly a disaster, I have my course, and, while I'm viewing it out of curiousity(/I filled out the form impulsively on the day, right now I'm not looking forward to missing my lie in on Saturday), there's no way I could be arsed to have it rechecked.

And if you see that you should of been awarded an A1? I find that hard to believe tbh.

And next time you decide to go on one of your expletive-licious rants, you might read the post twice - because I said nothing about me getting viewings/checks, I got 590 why would I.

JC 2K3

Ah now, 2 expletives is hardly expletive-licious.

And I don't see where I directed that at you personally. Sure, I quoted you, but the rant was directed universally.

And although I would, of course, consider getting a recheck if there were a glaring correction error on my Maths paper, I really don't think I would bother actually getting one.
