    I want to appeal my French result and I'm wondering is the oral rechecked aswell as the written paper. Any help is appreciated!

    I also heard that it is. Pretty stupid that they don't give you the bloody score beforehand to help you make a more informed decision.

    Yes they should give you the score beforehand.. but surely when you view the written paper and see if you did really well in the written paper then you would know that the oral / listening brought your grade down so you could kind of tell ?

    Yes, the oral mark will be checked. That's the main reason why the oral is recorded.

    Not really, generally your oral will match up closely with your written/aural grades, but you can't know exactly how close you are to the next grade / if it was marked properly. All they have to do is write it on the exam, I found it so irritating when I viewed my script and didn't really know what to do. You can figure out a range of scores for your oral but it can have a range of ~20 like, not something you want to chance €40 on.

    Thanks everyone for all the info. Think I'll give it a go. On a seperate note I also viewed my English paper. It was marked twice, not sure was it by the same person or not. Either way my grade was lowered from a B3 to a C1. Should I be confident of a successful appeal?

    Not really, to be honest. It has already been rechecked.
