GCSE Results Day - Thursday 20th August 2015 - Retake and Remark Information
This information concerns GCSE results 2015. For 2017 GCSE remark information please click HERE.
Hello everyone
With GCSE Results Day coming up very quickly, I'm sure many of you are starting to get a bit worried about what to do if your results aren't what you were expecting. Of course we hope that you all get the grades you wanted, but for some of you there may be some disappointments
This thread aims to give you all the information you need to be on top of how to go about getting a Retake or Remark!
I'll try to cover all the common questions on here, but if you still have questions then feel free to comment, and copy in this quote list so myself and the other TSR Support Team members who will be ready to answer your questions can get to you quickly

We have some other threads for Results Day if this isn't quite what you're looking for. Before you read this thread, you might want to take a look at the Didn't do as well as you hoped? thread for general advice about lower than expected grades. We also have the GCSE Results Day Chat thread for general discussion and sharing your grades, and the Grade Boundaries thread, where the grade boundaries will be published as soon as released
If you're interested in joining the army, have a look at Ask the Army forum.
So from myself, CT and the TSR Support Team- Best of luck in your results!

Could you get the same paper remarked more than one time? and how long does it take usually to get your remarked grade?

What if you think you have been given the wrong grade, perhaps someone else's (e.g, not a grade lower, but if you were predicted an A* and your slip says you got a D)?
Would you request a remark or a clerical check?

And remarked grades will usually be returned within 30 days

If I want to request a marked paper can I do so without it being remarked?

if you surpass the grade point needed for the sixth form you would like to attend, For example, they ask for 6.5 and you get 7.3,(a* = 8 a = 7 etc) but get a B in a subject that they wanted an A in, is it likely that you'll still get accepted into that subject, in that sixth form, without any need for a retake or remark?

What would be the rough estimate percentage that marks change (go up) after remarks?

Assuming the worst happens on Thursday and I fail English Language and I resit at sixth form is it likely to take up one of my 4 A level choices?

In the rare chance I fail Maths what do I do?
Is there any possibility Sixth Form will still let me do a-levels? And also is it likely I'll have to redo the exam as an external student somewhere else?
I really have no idea what I'd do.

Hi 😊
Thinking of the worst that could happen on Thursday, if I get a D in Maths and don't quite make the C, is it possible for me to pay and resit the exam myself away from the College (as my college does not offer GCSE subjects so you can't fail as they can't provide resists).
So basically, could I pay for a resit and just revise on my own rather than have to go to another college so they could teach me as I really don't have any other options? Like I would still legally be resitting Maths but I wouldn't have to be taught at College, I'd just take it in myself. Is that possible?

College as I have no other options as Id have to change my subjects elsewhere etc. So I'd need to do it externally like you say. But is that an actual thing? Like is that even possible? Lol 😅😅😂

Heya, got a question. I'm continuing History next year and the grade I received for my GCSE was three marks below an A. Should I get it remarked?

Regardless, a B is great - well done.
