    i'm just wondering how this process works, i know you fill in the form and stuff but what actually happens? i want to view more than one script so will i be allowed to bring in a differnet teacher for each subject or do i have to stick with one:confused: will we be in individual rooms or will everyone be together? is there a time limit for viewing each script? i can't see anything about this in the booklet:(

    It appears we view the scripts at the start of September then we decide whether we want to appeal the results after viewing the papers.

    It says you can only have one teacher at any one time, so you can have more than one teacher. Everybody will be in the same room or rooms, but spaced out. There's no time limit, you can look at the same script for the whole period (3 hrs) if you like. They're not particularly strict about it, the teachers wandered around between students when I was viewing mine.

    Do you view the scripts in the school or do you have to go to a special centre? You don't pay anything to view them do you? Thinking of having a look at a few of mine.

    In your school. You don't have to pay a thing, you should look at them all.

    Your teacher will more than likely be staying in the room, helping other students as well. The best thing to do would bring your sister in with you when you go in first, view your maths, and let her leave when you're finished with it.

    The more I think about it the more I think it's a better idea to check them all especially since I made a huge mistake in thinking my course was a minimum 185 last year and having got 350 yesterday I thought Im sorted, checked the qualifax site this morning and it was 185 in 2008 and 330 in 2009, hope to god it doesn't shoot up more. I thought all year it was 185, I checked the college website and the prospectus but didn't think to check qualifax. :eek:

    That's a pretty big jump all right.

    You should be able to double-check the points here.
