Exam board apologises for error
Published: 01 October, 2007
An A-level student who was given a U-grade in English has got an apology from the exam board after it realised the mark was wrong.
Sarah Huddlestone, 18, from Derby, was predicted to get an A-grade, but was horrified to learn she was given a "U" or unclassified result in one paper.
She feared the result would prevent her from going to her chosen university.
When she challenged the result, the exam board AQA admitted her result was wrong - and she had scored 100%.
Ms Huddlestone, who attended Landau Forte Academy in Derby, has now been given her university place in Lancaster.
