we were the last batch from our school to give exams through edexcel..(islamiat,pk std and urdu)..and now they ve shifted entirely to cambridge..i suggest you opt to give your exams from cambridge privately or change your school..

Hi There!
In fact EDEXCEL is somehow mistreating students who worked hard. I wonder if i deserve so many Cs while i am sure i performed well in the exam? The most incredible things is that, there is a difference between the grade boundaries and the way they graded my certificate. For example, i have 84 marks in Chemistry. In the grading Boundaries 86-76 is C. Having 84 in Chemistry, they rewarded me with D which is injustice. I wonder why? You are not permitted to contact with them directly and i have no school to discuss about the matter.
i have 3 subjects with C and the rest lower than that. I have to re-do the entire exam which is time consuming and i don't even rely on the outcome. During my revision i used to do past papers and use the mark scheme to see how i performed. I use to get 120 marks or equivalent in Chem and Physics. 65-75 in Math.
However, i want to consult with you of my next step. So, do i have to leave EDEXCEL and register CAMBRIDGE? It is possible for to complain about this issue and what do you foresee the outcome? Can i continue with AS and A2?
The reason why am consulting with you is that, i don't have anyone else that could help me take the appropriate action. Hopefully, you will give me a good advice.
Thanks in advance.

whatever you do do not go to cambridge for AS and A2, A-levels are harder in Cambridge. ideally you would have to give O-levels in Cambridge and A-levels in edexcel

you can complain to their headquarters via e mail but it wouldnt even matter because they wont do anything,,edexcel s basically ''on the verge of extinction'' in pakistan as 90 percent istitutes are offering Cambridge which is a more recognised board and is straight forward and direct in matters of result ,studying material etc whereas in edexcel,the studying material is difficult to access..the past papers etc and the marking system is more or less confusing ..as their grade boundaries are differing from a mere 5 or 6 marks..also according to my experience Cambridge is a 100 percent better.:)
