Abstract

College student Ella Nwaokolo came out of her A-level exam knowing she had done well. After talking with friends about the Third Reich paper she felt even better, it was her strongest module and, she had made all the improvements City College Norwich, England, teachers suggested after scoring a B in her mock. So she was baffled and angry when her result came back two months later, a C overall and a U in that module. She told the college she wanted a re-mark but a combination of errors by Edexcel and the college meant her name fell off the re-mark list and her paper was destroyed before a re-mark could take place.
