Preparing your appeals letter (Bucks)

[Sally-Anne]

Just for information, I have dug this up - an analysis of a paper from a few years ago. I apologise for it being all over the place, but Code is dead tricky. (WP, where are you in my hour of need? I still don't understand how to do it the quick way! )

However, it does give you an idea of the detail that you can expect, and of course, there will be two sets of figures, one for each paper.

If we can get the Code problem sorted out I will post it on the Raw Scores, Remark and Analysis thread on Bucks.

Edited to add that ** denotes question types that appeared on both papers that year.

Well done on finding that, S-A!

can we not request under an FOI Etienne?

It would be the Data Protection Act rather than FOI, but no, exam papers are exempt .....
