GCSE Maths Remark 2019

I was 3 marks off a 4 in my gsce maths and the school sent it for remark. Does anyone if there is a chance I could get the 4 needed so I don't have to resist. Is there any chance? Has anyone been in this situation and been successful? Thanks

remarks will usually lower your mark, unlikely the examiner missed out 3 marks but you can try, resitting will be the best option - and getting a higher grade (5)

Mine was send off yesterday I was one mark off but I was warned it could go down but my teacher still thought it was worth a shot 🙏🏼
I need a 7 to get into the university I want but I was 2 marks off. My tutors sent it to get remarked so I’m praying I’ll go up, otherwise I may retake in November if they allow it. I’m aware the marks can go down but due to being on the border, I seriously doubt any of us would go down a grade. Can you let me know when you get your remarks back?? 😊 Good luck x
I was 4 Marks away from getting 100% in maths should I get it remarked? 🤔

I don’t think so. I just signed some papers and my teacher sent it off for me. He said it could take up to 15 days, is that priority? And good luck

This is not true. Last year roughly twice as many reviews resulted in increased marks compared to decreased marks.

That’s great news :smile: Maths marks increasing by 5 is very rare.

I thought that at first but if you check the news, there’s actually a large number of papers that AQA marked incorrectly, I think it was 1 in 5?
