Should I appeal my art grade?

I got 73 and 57 (aqa) which is a strong 6, but I was REALLY hoping for a 7. I’ve been told by my art teacher that they took an entire project of my coursework out because it didn’t “fit with the story”, but it took me weeks (it was the most difficult bit of my entire art gcse) and I really think it should go in. I think I could maybe get a higher grade with it?

I also have no idea how to appeal it 🙏

Help with my (mostly unfinished) sketchbook

I'm in Yr 10 and right now feel lost with my sketchbook. It feels messy, incomplete and like I should have either way more work and annotations or look more pretty or a mix of both.

My art itself isn't amazing or anything which is something I need to personally improve (you can critic as well) but I feel like I'm being lazy with this book compared to my other classmates. Plus I feel my layout is pretty all over the place too, especially in the final piece page, as you can see for these few examples.

My book also has frayed corners and I'm panicking that I might lose points for that.

How can i improve

I'm not doing my gcses for a few years, but this is an artist study that i've done. I was gonna ask chat gpt this, but thought i'd better not damage the environment more. What grade would this get and what can i do to improve this? It's not the absolute best I could've done as i've had limited resources and not as much time as I would've liked.

Is a teacher allowed to show students in another years your final piece

So yet again my art teacher is being questionable and I've just found out that she showed a class of yr 8s my friend's final piece like finished canvas final piece. My friend isn't super upset about it but did not give permission for her to do this and I personally am worried she will show people mine which is quite personal to me. I just wanted to know if she's allowed to show people final pieces before they've been marked because she wouldn't let me show other people mine or take pictures of it which obviously I get but then she's going and showing people my friend's work without her permission.

Digital artists

Is it alright to pick digital artists for art gcse or is it generally not recommended as i thought of doing some of the artists from shows that have really nice art styles e.g studio ghibli but it would be kinda hard to get pictures of them or recreate that specific style do digital artists affect marks or views in any way??

I just got my raw marks for component 1 AQA and I just barely got an 8 (74/96) so for my compenent 2, I basically need full marks to get a grade 9. I know this seems so superficial but as someone who want(ed) all 9s, to get a 9 is basically impossible if you don't put hours in to it which can seem difficult for students wanting all 9s as we have to put more time into our other subjects so you simply won't have enough time for art. To any year 9s, please don't pick art if you care about getting 9s, the amount of time is you put into it is not worth the grade you get.

How to work out grade boundaries

New to this sub but I got my marks back for my gcse (both components) and I do aqa fine art but I’ve looked online at the grade boundaries and they are all out of 400ish where mine were out of 96?
Also idk how to do the 60% coursework 40% exam thingy so if anyone knows how to calculate that it would be appreciated.

Just got mine back (aqa art craft and design) and ended up with 358/380 which I’m super stoked with :)

94/96 for the exam unit x2

90/96 for course work x3

I was so scared to get them back cause I thought Id done ass (half the work was NOT done) but hey I’ll take it
