GCSE Results: Retake and Remark information - 21 August 2014

HELP PLEASE!

My GCSE Maths result is a C, however I have added up the marks compared to the correct answers without method marks and I should have scored at least 100.

A B is 95 so why the hell did I get a C?

I just sent it in for a clerical check, did I do the wrong thing?

Thanks Do you have any idea if it will go up?

Clerical is only adding up marks.
You need to actually have it re examined

I got an A in French which I was extremely pleased about but I got a C in Unit 4 which is the writing coursework but my teacher gave me a really strong A* so I'm really confused.. Should I get it remarked since I'm close to an A* or just not risk worsening my grade

I got my results today i got 2 B's and 3 C's but i'm gutted because i was 2 marks away from a B in Biology and 1 mark away from a B in chemistry i spoke to my science teachers about what i should do and they told me i could get a paper remarked
Is that a good idea?

Just reading this, http://independenthead.blogspot.co.uk/2012/09/the-sorry-truth-about-level-remarks.html
Is this true? It is a blog from blogspot not really a good source but if it is for a level what about gcse?

Hey, I got A in both Biology and Physics, but I am only 3 UMS away on both subjects from an A*.

For Physics I got
p123: 87/100 UMS A
p456 88/100 UMS A
p7 89/100 UMS A
Physics Cw: 93/100 UMS A*
Total: 357/400
Grade A

For Biology I got
b123 77/100 UMS B
b456 91/100 UMS A*
b7 97/100 UMS A*
Biology Cw: 92/100 UMS A*
Total:357/400
Grade A

I need 360 UMS for an A* and I am only 3 UMS away. Could you please help me on what to do here. I was thinking of remarking biology b123, which I thought I did better on. Also, I was thinking of remarking P123 & P456. Could you please advise me on what to do here thanks.

I was 1 UMS off in Chemistry to get an A i am doing it at A-level i just feel like i did much better than a B i don't know if i should get a remark?

Should I remark my AQA B Geography Paper 2, seeing as that gave me a C (95 UMS), whilst my controlled assessment got me an A*(92 UMS) and Paper 1 an A(128 UMS)? I was 5 UMS off an A in Geography, so is it worth it?

You can't remark coursework really, so unfortunately no.

The chances are the exam board weren't happy with you teacher's marking (in my limited experience some teachers seem to underestimate the variety of tenses and constructions needed for and A*) and you weren't all that close to the A*. Sorry about that.

It may have been moderated down.

Unfortunately, there's no easy way to get coursework remarked. Either the whole centre's has to be remarked or no one's, so it's up to the discretion of your school if they want to get them remarked or not.

Hi, I got my GCSE results today and was happy with all of them apart from History. I worked really hard in History and really wanted an A* (this was also my predicted grade). Today I recieved my results and I got an A. So I checked the grade boundaries and I am one ums mark off of an A*. Do you think I should get my History exams remarked? Thanks in advance!

i worked out that i only need 3 raw marks in my geography key themes exam to get an A* overall; since geography is quite an essay-based subject, how likely do you think it is that i'll get that A*? i feel like the exam went really well, i got an A* in my mocks, and got an A* prediction for my NASE grade too, so it's really gutting

Hi! I do Edexcel Business Studies and I got 159/200. I'm pretty sure that an A is 160/200 so I'm probably 1 UMS from an A. I just realised it now and am wanting a remark. What should I do?

Do you plan on continuing with History after GCSEs? If not, I'd personally just leave it tbh. It can be frustrating not to quite make the grade you were hoping for but an A grade is still fantastic! However, if you feel you did better than what your grade came out to be, then you may want to consider getting one.

Posted from TSR Mobile can anyone tell me why the ocr history gcse was so messed up? I was predicted an A , i have an A* in my controlled assessment , but only a C in the source paper, and a D in the germany/medicine paper, i ended up with a C overall, (6 marks above a D) , in the past i have always got B's in my mock exams with no revision whatsoever, i thought i smashed the exams and now i end up not even having an A never mind a B? I have noticed that quite a few peoplw are experiencing the same thing as me?

I'm definitely getting a remark on mine, good luck with yours

I'm getting a remark too, I got 43/50 in the coursework because my whole school was moderated down, but nothing can be done about that now! I got 59/60 in the source paper and 77/90 in the depth paper. This left me one UMS off an A*, so I'm sending the depth paper for a remark as I have got nearly full marks in every mock and the only question I felt I struggled with was one six marker and I'm sure I picked up at least 3 marks on it. Obviously I could have dropped a few without realising but its just lower than what I was expecting Hopefully it won't go down to a B, but I would have to drop 19 UMS on the one paper which I'm hoping isn't likely. Good luck to both of you, hope you get the grades you want!
