Teachers are braced for a slew of "mega mistakes" - errors that could cost students university places - after evidence showed that exam boards are "guesstimating" grades rather than actually marking them.
OCR exam board have screwed up marking A Levels in England this year, possibly costing us students university placements... Wondered if this will possibly be affecting anyone else other than myself?

I'm lucky that my A-Levels were last year.
However, there always seem to be some monumental **** up with results...

Exam board incompetence has been known for years now.
Every remark I've had has seen a great rise in marks.
I don't think it's limited to OCR either, although the article suggested OCR due to the Ofqual report.
