    The fact that you were external student wouldn't have made any difference to the way they were marked.

    Teachers who teach the subjects correct them. As for the external student thing, I agree with dambarude, how are they to know who you are, you are just a number to them

    Because *you yourself* are conscious of being an external student, therefore that's what your mind turns to first.

    I can guarantee you though that it has nothing to do with it, correctors wouldn't even be aware of it.

    Just clarifying that for the OP, IrishKnight.

    They won't know you are an external student, what school, what area, anything like that.

    marking schemes change every year, what's perfect one year might only get you half marks the next

    did you have any lessons/grinds during your studying?
