Pauline,
If an error occurs to the student's benefit, and they've already been informed of
the incorrect result, I think we'd swallow it and try to ensure it didn't happen
again. Our classifications are electronically calculated and then scrutinised by
School Boards who then bring difficult cases to the attention of the Main Exam
Board which ensures parity of treatment across the Arts area. In the Science area,
there are just Subject-based exam boards which calculate their classifications
themselves and then classify.
Jim.
