The Remark Thread - Questions!

4 marks off an A... Resit or remark? .__.''

yaaaaaaaaay for the thread i need some advice please....
was told by my teacher that my A in A2 History was pretty much guaranteed ( i know he shouldnt of said it but there we go!) and that my personal study was worth a high A.
come results day and my overall mark is a B. Considering its what i want to do at uni and my hopes have been built up im so dissapointed. I got AABBB in my modules but a C in one of them. should i ask for it to be remarked?
who do i contact about this?
any help would be great x

Both maybe? How well do you think you did? If you feel that you did really well in the exams then it might be worth getting a remark. You should also be able to request a photocopy of your script which will allow you to see where you might have lost marks, and also to see if you have been under-marked and whether it might be worth putting in for a remark.

In terms of resitting is it just one module that you're down by 4 marks on? Then it might be worth resitting if the remark doesn't go your way or you don't get it remarked.

Can anyone help?

My firm Exeter declined my offer, I was 2 UMS marks away from one of the A grades I needed. So I'm getting it re marked.

Will this in any way stop me getting into my Insurance that has accepted me? How long do I have to accept that offer?

I felt pretty bad walking out of the exam hall for most of my subjects, so I can't really judge now well I think I did.

Requesting a photocopy is probably a good idea... I'll probably do that first. I got a, b, b, in the modules, both bs were high ones which makes my life rather difficult. It would be better if I had 2 as and one low b.

How well do you think you did? If you feel that you did better then you should go for a remark. You could laso get a photocopy of your papers and look through them before putting your modules in for remarks. I did this and noticed some papers were undermarked and my grade went up when I sent it off for remarking

I think i should've done much better. I got an A in my mock with hardly any revison, so getting a B with loooaaaads of revision seems weird. As far as i can remember i felt that the exam went pretty well too.

Hi, Sorry if this has been mentioned before but:
a) How long does it take for the remarked score to come through?
b) If your grade does go up and you subsequently meet an offer you didn't so before, do you have to notify the university or does track automatically update?
Thanks.

a) I sent in a remark which took 2.5 weeks to arrive at school with a new results sheet. But that was for AS levels. You can get a priority remark if you need to give in the results to uni which will only take a few days. If you talk to your exams officer or a teacher they should be able to advise you on this.

b) Ask that question in the REsults day problems? thread (if it doesn't get answered in this thread. There are some excellent sources of information in there
