Should I remark Chemistry AS?

Today I got my AS results:
A - History
B - Economics
B- Maths
C- Chemistry

People have been saying that these grades are really good but if I'm honest I wasn't as pleased as I wanted to be. I wanted at least Economics and Maths to be an A and looking through the result sheet I realised that I couldn't change my B to an A.

Even though I'm dropping Chemistry, I was shocked to get a C because when I did those two exam papers in school, I thought they had gone really well. I answered all of the questions and I felt confident that I did well by the end, and yet I ended up with a C>

Is there much point in me remarking my chemistry papers, because I feel as if I shouldn't have gotten a C, at least a B I thought?
Which exam board did you take? I'm OCR salters B and I got high As in F332/3 (87%+) and a C in F331 (67.5%) bringing me down to 239/300 (B, only just). I'd remark if you're similar to me!

What were your UMS marks in chemistry? Just bear in mind that marks can go down as well as up.

In general, it is unlikely for marks to change in the science/maths subjects as they often follow a strict markscheme in marking papers. This doesn't mean it's impossible though, so it's your call as to what you think is best. :smile:
If you were dropping an A level and you did bad in AS, does that mean u have to retake it to get a better grade

Here are my UMS scores:
AQA Chem unit 1 : 68 - c
Chem unit 2: 101 - b
Chem unit 3X: 34 - d

I calculated the totals and found out that I was seven UMS marks off a B.
