A-level students accidentally given the wrong grades

UK: Several A-level students have been left lost as they have reportedly been given the wrong results.

The AQA exam board accidentally marked students who were present for their exams as absent, while others found out that their coursework was marked ‘not classified’ despite being marked by teachers.

The mix-up was uncovered when students received U grades and their teachers queried the exam board.

They revealed that the students had been marked as absent, while it’s not yet known why the mix-up occurred, some of the students are thought to have been marked absent because they were sat separately from their peers – due to learning difficulties.

The number of wrongly marked papers could be near 4,000. UK Students wrong grade
