In the letter written by the first moderator , the school was apparently told that insufficient emphasis was placed on the glossary of defined terms and so marks were limited to level One whatever the standard of data presentation and evaluation which followed.

Second moderator clearly thought that was a little too harsh - though still didn't award marks above level 2.

The marks for the other exam papers are all A* and As across the class, it seems, so a C grade for the controlled assessment is difficult to understand as well as disappointing.

The geography marking grid is totally different to others, what a lot of teachers do is give marks for being on a border of two marks, and some external moderators will give the lower mark as they don't feel they've reached marks and don't know it enough to be given the higher marks.

by sounds of it, your whole class has been pulled down, and managed to get hold of what I think is your classes results, and they all have gone down, so there's no real point you trying to get more marks I would just accept it, as it is still a good mark, especially for coursework.

almost exactly the same situation for me, except that my AQA geography coursework was originally marked at 53/60 by the class teacher, was then internally moderated up to 56/60 which should have given me a clear A*, but on my results I've been downgraded to a (high) C.I would ask what happened to the rest of the courseworks in your centre as if they'd all gone down by similar marks, then it was your teacher being to generous.Hi, it seems like a lot of people in our class got around 58-60/60 marks and I over heard the teacher said that the coursework which got sent away got around 48/60 marks.I think that the teacher marked everyone quite highly.I have a feeling that everyone grades were pulled down quite a lot and that includes mine. Hi, it seems like a lot of people in our class got around 58-60/60 marks and I over heard the teacher said that the coursework which got sent away got around 48/60 marks.The resources include comprehensive revision notes, glossaries, unique case studies, coursework advice and assistance, and geography tests.Tests include multiple choice, map reading role play simulations and automated essay marking.Everyone I have spoken to thus far in my year group also got a C for their coursework, most having been downgraded from a mark equating to an A* or an A.my school has a great record with GCSE Geography results in past years, presumably including controlled assessments, and the controlled assessment marks for all my other pieces of work in other subjects ( eg history, the three sciences and English stayed the same as the teachers award or were moderated upwards), so the school would appear to understand the marking criteria and standards expected.I have a feeling that everyone grades were pulled down quite a lot and that includes mine. by sounds of it, your whole class has been pulled down, and managed to get hold of what I think is your classes results, and they all have gone down, so there's no real point you trying to get more marks I would just accept it, as it is still a good mark, especially for coursework.There is a drive at the minute for improving coursework and fieldwork & Skills, even though funding is ending at the end of the year, trying to get it better and this is at the moment happening with primary aged kids, and teachers are being encouraged to do it at key stage 3, this has been going on for the past 2 years, but is picking up just as the money for it runs out.
