Possible that the same examiner mark all of my science papers?

On my science papers for both core and additional overall I kinda failed.It says
Biology paper 1-D
Biology paper 2- D
Chemistry paper 1-C
Chemistry paper 2- C
Physics paper 1- D
Physics paper 2-D

This all shocked me because I revised for all of those papers and used the specification along the way. No offence to anyone but these are grades I would get if I did not revise. I want to get my core papers and additional papers re-marked. I was predicted an A and B so this was an utter shock. Would you advice me to get them re marked? I thought though if different people marked my papers, they can't be all lying. Though if one person did then maybe it's worth me paying to re-mark these papers.

Even if one person marked them all, which is unlikely, they would have moderated by several examiners so it is unlikely that if you got a remark your grades would go up to A/A*
Plus they're not essay exams, so there's little to no subjectivity
No, each examiner only gets one question to mark of the whole paper

Get them remarked if it's a surprise so you know for certain but I doubt you'll.see much change seeing as it's so many papers! Perhaps you just havent quite got the hang of how revision needs to be done for.science subjects

A marker gets hundreds of the same question of the same paper to mark in a row, once they've done that they may move on to another question but they wouldn't even know about it if they happened to mark a different question from the same student as they don't see names to stop bias.

If it was one paper well off from the others it could just be a clerical error but all of your papers are around the same mark so I would say you have just not done as well as you thought you had unfortunately.
