Dear lovelinessess,
the current AAE has an add-on of mock grade and PERCENTAGE. What?!
I have followed department policy of equating your grade to a fixed percentage in order to fill the box but it has absolutely no relationship to what you got so please ignore it. The method is simply to put 90% for A*, 80% for A, 70% for B etc.
The reason a percentage is meaningless is that there is no relationship year-on-year between a particular mark/percentage and a grade - they change depending on the level of responses given for that paper (for some papers/years, a mark converting to 64% would get you an A, for others, you might need to get upwards of 84%). So you have been marked in line with the mark scheme and graded relative to my expectations for that paper - a much more realistic indication of what the skills you displayed would have got you in the exam, given the cohort you are in.
If you or your parents have any questions, it is department policy, so please contact Judith Vale (Curriculum Manager for English). But don't question it, just ignore it - it won't be making an appearance again next year!
