Should I try a remark?

I do History Politics and Economics, and got am A, A*, A* respectively, but only two marks from an A* in history. I've gotten into Birmingham so don't need to but should I try and go for a remark and get the A*? I'm really worried that I'd be dropped to a B if I did

Hey @thinkertinker - first of all, congratulations! Incredible results, you must have worked really hard.

Whilst I can give you advice, I want to stress that this can only be your decision. 2 marks is a small margin and it does seem reasonable that a remark could tip the grade in your favour. However, as you've said, that's just it. A remark guarantees one thing only: someone will take another look and mark the whole thing again. That could mean extra marks, but just as equally it could mean fewer.

Ultimately, it's best to consider what matters to you most, the A* or retaining your current grades? If you want to and you need to scratch that mental itch, go right ahead. Talk to your teacher, see what they think about it. But, if you're satisfied with your grades and are ready to move on to the next chapter of your life, don't stress about it.
