Getting Exams Rechecked

Doriath

Hey dudes,

Got my results a few days ago, 2.1, but I only got 57% in maths and was expecting alot more(this is what dragged me 2% under a 1.1). Because its maths I kinda KNOW hands down what i got wrong, and im the only one in my class ive heard about that passed the maths so i feel the Lecture was just hard marking it.

So i have a few q's about getting the exams rechecked.

1. How do i get a single exam rechecked?
2. Is it the same corrector that rechecks the exams?
3. If it is usually the same corrector is there a way to change to a new corrector?
4. Can grades go down as well as up?(i assume so)

I am happy with my result, but that half the class failed maths and i was expecting more anyway makes me think the marking was unfairly harsh. That im only 2.2% off a first is also a pulling factor...

What do you guys think?

haha best of luck with them

calippo

just remember thought that you average mark is split over 60 credits for a full year. so you need to increase your mark overall all by 2% x 60 credits which means you would need to increase your overall result on maths paper to 69... best of luck with it though, anything is worth a try..;)
