There is something really fishy going on in my school.

Recently the results of November 2010 exam of edexcel iGCSE was released in my school. I didn't appear in this session, but most of my class mates did They appeared in EDEXCEL IGCSE ENGLISH LANGUAGE. I am the only single girl in my class who didn't appear in English language exam, because my mom wanted me to practice for this subject even more so that I can get A*. When the results came out, i knew that most of the students would have scored less because before the exam they had very less time for preparation. My predictions and thoughts were true as i asked them about their grades. Most of the boys \failed, most of the girls got C D and even E except two girls who got A*!!!!!!!!! When i came to know about this i was very very surprised. Although these students who got such a brilliant mark are position holders in our class, but before their exam when i observed their way of solving the past papers of EDEXCEL IGCSE ENGLISH LANGUAGE, it seemed as if both of them deserved a B not an A*. EVEN before the exam, they didn't practice a lot so how can they get an A*? Even when our English teacher checked their past papers so they scored less than a girl in our class who got B. So now you see i have a doubt on these two mysterious girls.
Actually my school is also one of the centers of British council. So our edexcel exams are held in our own school we don't have to go to the British council to give the exam. The question papers are directly sent to the school. One of the students who got A* her father is a chief guest of our school. I mean he had done something really special for our school. So our school respects him. What i suspect is that maybe the girl's father would have bribed our school and taken the question papers before the exam day. He would have shown to his daughter and his daughter would take support from our English teacher in answering those questions which were going to come in the exam. In the same way her best friend would have done. And in this way they both would have got A*. So what do u people think about my suspicion?
Thanks guys!!

Well, I think that's not possible!
There must be a British Council Invigilator in your school center, no?

You mean a British council invigilator would have given the question papers to them before the exam. Or may be those girls might have been lying?? They must have got a B which might be written in their report card but they didn't show it to us. But nibz these girls are not that much good in English. its impossible that they secured an A*!!!!! Getting an A* especially in edexcel IGCSE ENGlish language is not like a piece of cake. You have to work very very hard to do so and this needs a lot of time. This is why i suspect that there is something really fishy going on between the british council and my school. and also this is the reason why the grade boundary for getting an A is very low i.e. 68% and for A* it is 76%.
Moreover no nibz we don't have any british council invigilator in out school. Our invigilators are the school's own teachers.

By that "Invigilator thing" I meant to say that BRITISH COUNCIL people don't send question papers directly to the schools.. (centres). They have employed (SPECIAL) people for this purpose.. and so nobody --not even the chief guest of your school--can touch those papers before the examination time..
They (your friends) might have gotten B's or C's; you people never saw their Statement of Result. Also, there is a possibility of getting an A*.. LUCK matters a lot!

Shahlakh ... i don't think bribing or being chief guest works on britishcouncil people , Their results are fair and unbiased .
it may be because of their luck these girls got A* , just as nibz stated or they may be lying , Do check their statement of results to remove your doubt
