AQA English Literature, should I get a remark? help please

I just collected my results and got a B in English Literature. I was expecting a C, so I was immediately really happy. I then looked at the individual marks for the units (they're in UMS) and they were as follows:

Unit 1: 70 / 80 (A)
Unit 2: 46 / 70 (C)
Unit 3: 39 / 50 (B)

This gives me an overall UMS of 155 / 200. The boundary for A was 160, so I'm already very close. Also, the other marks seem a lot higher than my paper 2 mark, as my paper 1 was almost an A* and my coursework was almost an A. My paper 2 is a mid C. Should I request a remark?
I'm getting my AQA English Literature reviewed/ remarked too! I got a B, and I was expecting an A. I don't understand how I only got a C in Unit 2 when I got an A* in my mock. I doesn't make any sense because I though the exam went really well! I'm definitely reviewing Unit 2, and it's definitely worth you doing that too!

Can you request a remark for just one unit, I'd hate to lose marks on unit 1!

Also, can you lose marks when getting stuff remarked, or do you keep the highest marks?

and does the same marker mark both unit 1 and unit 2?

I'm not sure, about your second question- sorry! Although, I would assume that if the mark goes down then you have to keep the new mark :frown:
I do know that you can request a re-mark for just one unit though. In fact I think you have to specify which unit you want re-marked :smile:
Also I think that if you ask for a re-mark your paper goes to a chief examiner :smile:
