Help with GCSE results

Perhaps in Chemistry and Physics, but would't advise Biology. I doubt they'd find 7 more marks on your paper. And you're right there is a chance you'll go down a grade too. But ultimately your choice.

Ha. Trust me, these days you can find 20-30 marks on a paper. They missed 5 marks on my biology paper, they probably can find a few on this individuals paper also. Also science is a common subject where remarks do normally come back with higher marks.

This was true in the past but not anymore. Re-mark policies have changed for this year. Now they are only correcting actual mistakes, not differences of opinions - so before if the original examiner thought a question was worth 2 marks and the re-mark examiner thinks 3 you would have been given the additional mark. This is no longer the case. Exam boards haven't advertised this as re-marks mean money, but I guarantee the number of successful re-marks this year will be WAY lower than any other year.

That doesn't mean there hasn't been a mistake on marking, there could have been, but if there is it's likely to be very minor. 11 UMS worth? I doubt it.

I honestly don't doubt it. Examiners these days make mistakes very frequently, as they normally do rush through exam papers. It is very much possible to find 11 UMS in a few exam papers. I honestly would always advise someone to remark a paper if they truly believe that they did better in it, because honestly you never know. In the off chance that they missed all those marks, imagine how you'd feel not being able to do the subject you love because of the mistake of an examiner. You have to take risks in life sometimes to get what you want, and a risk like this in my opinion and experience is completely worth it.
