Just got one of my remarks back. Not happy. :(

It just feels like an injustice based on my experience these last two years but I'm guessing there are students up and down the country in the same situation.

I can only apply to like two medical schools but oh well. I guess there's nothing I can do now. Even though I'm still waiting on one remark I doubt it'll change tbh. I hear OCR are notorious with remarks.

Apparently OCR never change their marks.

Are you sure about that? I'm sure only a few medicial schools specify that you need an A in AS Chemistry? usually the most importance is placed on A2 predictions.

They do. My Psychology went up by 3 UMS, so it's not OCR's fault that the OP actually really did get 1 UMS below an A.

OP there's nothing you can do now, just get your teacher to predict you an A and work harder next year to get it.

Why does this guy think that getting a grade A in chemistry is part of his human rights?

Instead of trying to act like an arse, imagine how you would feel if you were in my situation.

And no you're not funny.

OP, instead of applying directly for medicine, why don't you do a degree like biochem etc and then apply as a graduate? You could resit one paper in chem a level during this time and have your A as well as another degree.

I was originally one ums off an A in chemistry and asked for a remark in two exams. One of them came back today. No change.

It's really important that my grade goes up because I need to to apply for courses I want to do that require an A in chemistry. Is there any way I can convince the exam board to raise my grade consider my situation?. The men and women who work on exam boards are not the type of indivduals who would change grades beacuse you say pretty please, unless you have extenuating circumstances which is suported by you collegeI was just 1UMS and I'm very doubtful now the other one will go up. The exam board is OCR.
What a terrible start to the morning.

I should also say I'm just finished A2 not AS.

Edit: OK guys, even though I've got one more remark to wait for I'm just going to assume it didn't change. Thanks to the very few who decided not to take this as an opportunity to try and be funny and score some points and were kind enough to be sensitive about my situation.
Thanks.

Please note the use of 'apparently'.

Thanks for a decent response. Getting predicited an A really won't make a difference seeing as I want to apply for medicine. I guess this means I can only apply to like 2 medical schools.

This is good advice but it's far too late. I'll have to go through 2012 cycle for definite. Thanks.

The sooner you accept you achieved a B, the sooner you can correct it

Aw I'm sorry I hope it all works out ok for you, can you resit one of the papers in January if you have to apply in 2012?

Thanks and yes you can it just means if I get an offer it will be conditional.
But most med schools won't accept my resits it because i'll go beyond the 2 years of study i.e. by definition I'll be a retake applicant.
