Ah, well yeah, think about it for tomorrow. If you got A* in both papers, then its hardly gonna go up by much if it does go up at all. But if you really want an A*, you could risk it, but you need to think about whether its worth it.

I got an A at biology. Imagine that, getting an A* in all the sciences apart from biology, which at GCSE is scientifically, more relevant. Seriously, they wouldn't give 2 cares if you get all A*'s or A*'s but around 2 A's. As long as you have the all rounded personality they're looking for, then the grade won't hold you back. Besides, most unis require sciences at an A, so you're definitely on track.

it is likely to move up!!
im doing 0cr gateway and my mate moved from an A to an A* after a remark for biology,, b1,b2,b3

i beleive the deadline for remarks is tommorow though

its unlikely you will move down to a B though since yo do have a very high A

i would say do it,,, or you may regret it in the future!!

Thank you :biggrin:. Still disappointed though, 2 ums away :frown: yupp :yep:
I do think that there's a chance you'd move up, and its very unlikely you'd move down like Ryan said, so I'd recommend it, but don't get your hope up. I don't mean it in a rude way, but sometimes, things don't work out the way you'd expect.

I beleuve for that exam 140 ums was the max and 126 uns was the A* boundery... He wss on 122 and moved to 126 which is boatderline...

As u sed this is only one module... U may gain a couple ums in ur coursework!

Are u allowed to gt papers rematked from last year... I thought there was a deadline then u cant have it back..?

Good luck though.. If u do get ot remarked!

I got A* in both the exams so I basically needed my c/w remarked but you cant remark it so I decided not to because it would be hard for me to get those 6 ums from my exams :sad: Thank you :h:
