How were the exams?

When will the PW results be released? Is it immediately after the A Level Results?

based on previous years' experiences, about 2 weeks after A-level results, I think -
That will be in mid or late Feb?

It was done on 14 April for the year 2014, approximately in mid of Term 2.
'A' level results were released in 03 March for the same year. -

Ok, thanks for info. Wow, got to wait so long. -
@zbear: No problem! Don't forget that the markers are quite different for the general GCE 'A' levels for the majority of the papers vs. Project Work!

Hmmm .... so what's the implications? More lax? More stringent? -
@zeemimi: Project Work is marked and graded largely by tutors of one’s own college - which may involve intervention in the form of moderation by internal and/or external moderators. For confidentiality reasons, I will not be elaborating further here, except to add on that there are various components for PW. With the exception of Paper 4 (SPA), the marking is not handled by their own college staff, which is contrary to PW.

PW has 3 components: Individual consisting of your PI, EoM, I&R 20%. This will be marked by your class’s PW tutor. Group WR 40% - marked by PW tutor who does not teach your class (this is where bad stuff happens eg. when doing WR your PW tutor likes your ideas/presentation but when passed onto another teacher to be assessed their opinions might not be the same). And lastly OP, 40%, usually there will be a few school teachers acting as the panel judges, but external examiners may take part too. All this is based on my school at least, might be different for others.
