Remark - OPINIONS

Right, I got my results yesterday and there's a discrepancy in the marking that I'm considering having remarked.

I got AAU in my units for English Lit. The unit I got the U in was the one I was certain was my strongest. I knew the texts back to front and inside out, I could quote them easily and I hadn't had any problems writing essays on them in class.

Is it worth getting it remarked? I would need to gain 29 points to go from a B grade overall to an A, but English seems to me to be the sort of subject where the essay is either marked perfectly or REALLY badly, since it's so subjective.

I don't need to change of grade for uni, but the U looks really bad on my Cambridge application if I decide to make one. Also, it just doesn't make logical sense that I could get a U on what shoud have been my strongest unit, and get an A on the one I did very little work for.

Thanks. It's not a priority remark, I'm on a gap year at the moment. I dont think I can get the paper back in time to apply for a remark afterwards, so I guess I'll just have to take my chance. At least the situation can't get much worse!

How do I go about getting a remark? Through my school?

Ditto, i got AAU in AQA A English lit. Module 6 - world war literature. I've started up a thread somewhere if it's that exam. Dodgey marking in my opinion. Definately get it remarked, it's only £20 or whatever and you'll regret it if you don't get it remarked (it's free if you go up a grade anyway).

Oh, you're AS level? Get it remarked anyway, english examiners suck! No joke, this is twice they've given me a U now! What a bunch of jokers (my other grade was remarked up to an A!!!). If only i knew where that examiner lived......there would be trouble fo sho!

No, I'm A2. Why do you think I'm AS?

And the war literature module I got an A on, it was the Hamlet and Wordsworth that I got the U on. I knew the Hamlet so well and the Wordsworth too, so I don't know why I got such a low mark!
