Very IMPORTANT MARKING Question

The business studies (AQA) subject consists of three units: Unit 1, Unit 2 and Unit 3. Unit 3 is a controlled assessment so it is assessed/marked internally by my teacher. The other two units are marked by external examiners. My question is: For Unit 1 and Unit 2, would the same person have marked both units or would there have been two individuals marking each unit?

The reason I ask is because I have received a rather unusual low grade in the subject, both units having been given a similarly low grade. Now, I have either overestimated my ability in this subject for the 2 years I have studied it or it's an issue with the person marking my paper. So, I am considering a remark and would appreciate any advice and an answer to the question above.

the first paper is multiple choice so couldn't have been marked wrong.what grade did you get.

It will be different examiners.

So the same examiner wouldn't have been assigned with my unit 1 and Unit 2 papers?

It's rare for someone to be marking more than one paper.

Marked by different people

Are you certain?

Yeah that's just how it works. Like each sitting at each centre goes to different people. So everyone that did unit 1 at you school got marked by a different person than the person marking all the unit 2 papers from your centre

In that case, do you think it's worth get a remark just based on the incentive that I was a 'natural ability' A* student in business studies that ended up with a B. Most will think I am crazy and being arrogant but I am truly baffled with my results in business studies.

Did you get a B in unit 1&2?

Yup, I did. I'll give some more insight. For the two years I have done the course, I have achieved nothing less than a A grade in every test and mock exam I have done.

Have you looked into the boundaries? Are you closer to an A than the possibility of dropping to a C?

In one unit, I am quite close to the A, but in the other, I am slightly above the B borderline. I know, for a fact, that my grade will not go down if it was to be re-marked.
