GCSE remark stories?

Is there anybody who had their paper remarked and dropped one (or more) grade(s)/marks? Tell me what happened! Just considering whether to have a few papers remarked or not..

My teacher told my class about a girl who got a her test remarked. She dropped a mark down.

Plenty of people go up one mark and down on another paper so their overall stays the same. Must be annoying esp if you were one mark off the next grade boundary.

I've only had one paper remarked and it went up a couple marks (and it was a Physics paper!!)

When did u get it remarked? I heard remarking this year is even stricter... I'm thinking of remarking my core science paper where I was 1 mark away from an A*...
Happy-ish remark

I got my results yesterday, somehow managed to get an F in my biology ISA. Told my teacher yesterday about the situation because I got A + A* in my other two ISA's - so she is getting it remarked. Hopefully comes out as an A so my overall grade is pushed to an A!!!!!!!!!!

Did you send an email to your maths teacher? Try asking the head of maths? Try phone calling i'm sure somebody will pick up? If not just wait till september the 5th or try contacting your teachers via social media or something :biggrin:

There is a possibility they didn't bother marking it Contact the board or get your school to do so

Okay so last year i got my wjec result in english language and i got a A. In coursework i got an A* in writing i got an A* and in reading i got an D. I was convinced this was true, but my teacher forced me to get a remark. I went from a D in that paper to full marks and overall got an A* :biggrin:
Do you guys think I should get one of my English Literature exam modules remarked? My total UMS was 213, 3 UMS off of an A*. For my overall grade to drop down to B, I would need to lose 21 UMS because the A/B boundary was 192 UMS.

How can you check your maths mark? Where you Edexcel?

And the deadline is still a little while away I believe, just email them :smile:
I knew this girl who once got an E in one of her maths papers and after she got it remarked she got an A* ;I don't even know how that is possible!
I guess her was a rare case XD
The deadline is the 20th of September. :smile: Also, does anyone think I should get a remark in Psychology? I'm 8 UMS off an A*
Thanks

Depends what the B boundary is. Also, what were you expecting/predicted?

I got a B on one Physics paper and it went up quite a few UMS up last year, turning my grade overall to an A* . The school wouldn't pay for it, so I had to pay myself as I knew that paper shouldn't have been as low as a B... went up to a mid A I think! But you get a refund if the grade improves :smile:

The school paid for everyone's Poetry exam to be remarked and mine went up 10UMS, so in the end I ended up being 3 or something UMS off an A* for lit, but it was passed the remark deadline, so I couldn't get the prose one remarked lol
