    What is it with people dredging up old posts?

    Was there something in the air last night? They're everywhere!

    PS for the sake of one percent - they ought to have passed you - whoever marked your paper is just not human considering all you have been through.

    Surely its marked anonymously, well at least to a certain degree? So the marker wouldn't know who it is...39% is 39% in their eyes. Possibly could have asked for remark and somebody else would have remarked the paper.

    Papers are usually marked anonymously.

    Where a paper is a borderline grade, it will be double marked.

    The examiners have to draw the line somewhere. What is the point in having a pass mark of 40% if those that get 39% are awarded a pass? What about those with 38%?

    Edit: Now I'm replying to old posts! :eek: :o :cool: :p

    If the degree is NHS funded than you only have two chances to pass and then it is an automatic fail for the entire course. A bursary, and its mainly medical based degrees that have bursary's, so this could be the reason.
