I got a B in Eng Lang (WJEC) and a C in Eng Lit (AQA) although I was predicted, and getting, A*s in both all year. My college have told me not to bother asking for remarks as these exam boards are apparently not changing anyone's marks no matter how wrong they've got them????? That's my chance of applying to Oxford down the pan lol..
its worth a try! i have seen remarks with these exam boards this year be successful!
Had an Edexcel AS history module remarked. Was at 318 UMS, needing 320 for an A. Paper came back having gone up 10 UMS Can now apply to veterinary school this October with AAA which is crucial for resit candidates.
I think marks are much more likely to change in 'subjective subjects' such as English lit, history, business studies etc. than 'objective subjects' such as maths, physics, chemistry etc. where the marking is much more objective and margin for error slim.
Got my re-mark back for AQA Physics PHYA5 (Astrophysics option) today. Went up by 8 UMS (3 raw marks) from 110/120 to 118/120, giving me an A* in Physics overall.
Also got AQA Computing COMP3 re-marked, this one went up by 2 raw marks - leaving me 2 UMS (that is, 1 raw mark) off an A* in Computing.
I've sent both my Economics papers in for the review since I was 2 marks off an A. My sixth form said it'll take up to 30 days so I'm still waiting to hear back.
The exam boards are meant to do them within 30 days. In practice Edexcel and OCR are generally turning them round in well under a week, sometimes within the day, AQA are taking 7-10 days, WJEC are pretty slow and CIE take forever. Don't know about CCEA.

Hi guys. I scored 98.5% in my other three English modules, but in my last one I got 68%. After a remark it went up to 73%. When the script came back my teach still said it had marked unfairly. She then passed it around the department and they all agreed. She's going to get another examiner from another school to look at it, but everyone so far is saying the same thing.

What should I do ?
Your teachers will most likely sort it out. There may need to be an appeal.

The chances of anything successful happening are tiny, but only your school (not you) can appeal so you'd need to talk to them about it.
