My son got a Grade 2 and B profiles. His lessons teacher has suggested we query it as he thinks that merits a Grade 1. Do you think we should?

Hi, after reading these comments i'm compelled to add my comment. After leaving primary school 12 years ago and never writing cxc,I decided to write Math and English after going to adults classes at Upper Level, Chaguanas.In just about 9 months, i wrote these two said subjects and passed with 2 in Math all b's in profile grades and a distinction in English.If I could pass,anyone could. I must stop to thank God most of all without him I couldn't lift a finger and teachers of course, Miss Usha and Miss Boodoo. Don't give up people,God performs miracles. Peace

I sat English A may 2015 and have multiples of crossing through my story and essay, this is because I usually make mistake while using a pen and I didn't used any correctional fluid . I do remember while writing my story and essay I tend to use the wrong section of the paper therefore I have marked some lines through it all and continue on the 0ther section.
Please let me know if this will cause me loose points.
Re: this question
Hi Kojo,
It is my understanding that specific Examiners mark specific questions on the exam paper. I am not 100% certain about this however, so I would just say - most likely, this is what happens.
