Need a bit of advice.. got a c in my AS critical thinking (209/300) and need a b in it for one of the courses i'm applying for. What is the grade boundary for a b and should i just get a remark or just resit one of the modules?

You are 1 mark off a B! You need 210..
Go for the remark.. if you don't get it then go for the resit.. Remarks are quite pricey tho..

I'd suggest resitting unit 1 if you do have to resit, its easier to pick up marks on imo, it was only because of unit 1 I got an A and a good unit 1 can pull you up a grade easily

I got an A in as and a2 critical thinking and think a resit is a much better option that a remark. It skills based, so unless it's been really poorly marked I can't see a remark being all too helpfull, perhaps ask for your script back, see where you just missed out? I'd be happy to go through some stuff with you

I went up 18 marks on one AS CT module by getting it remarked, so it can happen!

To be one mark of a B is really unlucky! I hate it when that happens, Happened to me in GCSE maths
