Question on Viewing Scripts

Yeah Buddy

Is it usually just papers where you weren't happy with the results which people view, or do they go in just because they're inquisitive and want to know how their questions were graded, even if they were happy with the results?

The room will be full of people with different agendas.

Some will be desperately trying to scrape marks, going through their paper with a fine tooth comb. Others will be there just to have a look, more out of interest than anything else. Some only view one paper, while a lot will view them all.

Just asked this question in another thread! I want to look at English despite having no intention of appealing because I was thrilled with it, and it seems that quite a lot of people do the same. I may even end up viewing all of them out of sheer curiosity.

Here are the answers I got - just scroll down the page a bit.

Thanks! I'm in exactly the same boat. Happy but curious

Will I be allowed a calculator and a sheet of paper stating percentage ranges and the matching grade?

You can bring the calculator, but I'm not sure what use the piece of paper will be? You probably wouldn't be stopped from bringing it in, but LC subjects don't work by percentages. You won't see a percentage written anywhere on any of your scripts. It will say 455/600 or whatever the marking is for that particular subject.

I want a piece of paper saying what the equivalent of a A1, A2 etc is. I know there is no percentage on my script... Ill use the calculator to find that out!
