ok basically for my gsce's i was always 1 mark away from the high grade

history - 1 mark off a b
maths - 4 marks off a b
english lit - a few marks off a b
eng lan - a few marks off a b

so yeah as you can see i'm an unlucky guy also do which one do you i should get remarked and which is the most realistic btw i have the money to pay for it as it comes from my personal savings


oh yeah i was also one mark off a b for sci additional, if i retake one sci exam and get one mark higher than the previous exam will it go up?

Which exam season are you talking about? Re-marks can only be requested for about 6 weeks after the results come out. The only results you can currently get re-marked are the March GCSE results which came out today.

Yes, you can just re-sit 1 science exam and if you do one better on the re-sit you would get a b.

Remarks are definitely worth it. I was one mark away from an A* in my spanish and latin gcses, requested a remark and they both went up
Obviously the most realistic for you is history, i would definitely get it remarked if I were you. Not so sure about the others... I was 4 marks away from an A* in my history and decided against it, but I kinda regret it now. Depends on how much of a gambler you are and how badly you want that higher grade!

[Bellissima]

might as well! worse case scenario you drop a grade but this is unlikely if you are close to the upper boundary.

No, the deadline for last summer was 20 September 2011.

[Chapeau Rouge]

You've missed the deadline.

Remark the history and maths and english language if you can!

Never. The papers will have long since been shredded.

[aneesa :)]

In one of my history papers I was one mark off an A* and I really regret not getting it remarked now but overall I can hopefully make up for it.

If you've still got time and your only a few marks away then you should go for it.
