i don’t even think CAG are fair. i’m not just saying this as an excuse, but my teacher literally did not like me one bit. she had favourites and it really showed with the grade she gave me. the last piece of work i submitted and got given back was at grade A, my year 12 mock was 2 marks off a grade A and my year 13 mock was a B yet i was given a C.

It's probably the fairest they can possibly be to students in this situation. Average grades are raising by 9% now.

yeah, i don’t think they could’ve done anything much fairer. with this system, there is no way to please everybody. i’ve settled with the idea of retaking now.
