I have a similar sort of mark difference between getting a higher grade so I'd like to know this too!
It's happened before but it's quite unlikely. You should also bear in mind that whilst your marks could go up, they may also go down. I would only recommend going for it if this is going to affect your outcomes i.e. where you're going for University.
Speak to your teacher and see what they think before going ahead and please bear in mind the point about marks going up or down along with the unfortunate reality that it's quite unlikely the marker was off the mark by 7. All the best of luck!

Is 7 marks off a B in English Lit worth getting a remark?
Hey @loserclubs
First of all, a B in English Lit is great, congratulations! However, I understand that you may want a remark knowing you were so close to the next grade up.
Unfortunately, there's no definite answer to your question and there are many things you should consider before getting a remark:
- The grade is not guaranteed to change
- Are you happy with a B?
- Does this meet the entry requirements for the course you wanted? (if you're going to uni)
- Is it worth the additional time/money/stress to get a remark?
- Will you be able to go on not knowing? (I got a remark myself and while it didn't change, I'm glad I did it as I am too curious to have gone on otherwise)
- Speaking to your school/college may help guide your decision as they know your work best
Hope this helps!

What are the chances of a successful remark, edexcel economics, never got below A star for mocks but final exam I got a B 7 marks off of the A boundary the paper I thought I did worst on was my highest, 64/100, 79/100, 70/100 should I send the 2 papers in?
It affects my firm and assurance, firm have already rejected me but if remarked to an A they would still accept, for assurance technically didn’t make AAA I have Astar AB so they are still deciding

Hi @Asdf_idk
A*AB are really good grades, congratulations. However, I understand why you would like to consider a remark.
There are several factors that you can look at before making a decision to get a remark:
1) if your marks were to increase to A*AA, then your firm and assurance choices will both become available.
2) if your marks were to decrease, then you will not be able to meet the entry requirements. Therefore, would you have any back up choices?
3) Since you were 7 marks off from an A, it may be worth remarking, depending what the grade boundary for a B was.
4) for the 70/100 exam, it could be risky to send the paper in, depending how close you are to falling into a grade B.
5) Even if your grades do not change, would it be worth the time, money and stress?
There is unfortunately no definite answer to whether the remark will be successful. However speaking to your school and teachers may help to inform your decision. I hope this helps.

What?? I assume you mean mark, but that was given on my results sheet. Pretty sure you can request the mark from your school otherwise.
