Got my SAR back
The first marker gave me 54 and the second marker gave me 62.5
This would be an average of 58.25 and a pass. However, it got reviewed and the reviewer gave me 57.5 (which was used as the awarded mark)
Makes me feel sick the way these are marked and passes are obtained
Any idea how the marking worked for this exam?
I can only assume that it got remarked because one marker passed me, one failed me and the grade was close enough to (and below) 60 to be remarked. They then decided that a global 2% reduction should be applied because the pass rate will have been shambolic.
If they applied that 2% reduction first then I may have been just passed and not looked at again!
3 marks awarded for
Document format
- Clearly addressed to Miss Newcomber (Other forms of name are acceptable as long as sufficiently formal for a letter of this type, e.g. Angela Newcomber is acceptable, but just Angela would not be) [1]
- Suitable title to document [½]
- Including policy number [½]
- Date [½]
- and author [½]
[Max 3]
I had
- Dear Mrs Newcomber
- Clearly titled "Plan Number A9872123Z"
- Dated
- Signed off with name, title and contact information
I scored 2/2.5/2.5
Can anyone (at Acted) explain how this isn't awarded at least 2.5 and arguably 3 marks?
I can just about understand losing 0.5 marks for not titling it "Re: Your query on A..." but that is just pedantry and arguably not as good.
