Maths remark

I was 1 mark off an a* in maths shud i spend 68.40 pounds on a remark is it worth it?
In my experience you're very likely to get marked up. I was nine marks off an A at Physics A2 and got moved up to one when my college paid for my remark. I've never known anyone's grade go down, especially that close to an upper boundary.

Are you at GCSE or A level?

Well, if you're one mark off, it would be 50/50 even if there wasn't any bias towards increasing your grade. But I think there is an upwards bias (like I say, I've never known someone drop marks), and you definitely have nothing to loose. Maths isn't so ambiguous that you could loose enough marks to be moved down to be B :wink:

But really your college should pay for it if you're so close - mine did because it looks good for the school to have more top grades.

Didn't work for me!:frown: 1 mark off A star but stayed the same in remark
Ya there is still time talk to your exams officer or physics teacher. Deadline for remarks is sep20. You will probably have to pay 68.40 pounds as schools get a bit stingy when it comes to As ans A*s apparently.
