Should I appeal my grade? How do I do this? PLEASEHELP:/

I need help
I got a B in English. This is okay in itself, but when I enquired about the breakdown of the marks I was told I got two A*s and a U for the three exams I took.
This can't be right...I wouldn't have got a U, as the other two seem to suggest.
What should I do? If its because I filled in the information on the paper wrong does this mean it will stay at a U even if the content WAS an A?

Remark it def
Maybe an examiner just didn't like/understand what you wrote

I sent my Chemistry paper to be remarked today, but a guy in the year above got a low mark in English (roughly C) and then got it remarked up to an A*

Okay thanks. Do you think its possible it wasn't the content of the answers but something I filled in wrong on the form? Or would they ignore errors like that?

Unlikely. If that did happen, you would probably get something like an X or another error code.

English papers do not always have a definite mark scheme, i.e. bits of information that examiners look out for to award you the marks (e.g. Biol/Chem/Physics and Maths) so I would get that U remarked.

It is a possibility that another examiner may be impressed by your answer and will award more marks.

Thank you!
Do you know of any other reason I might get a u other than the content of my answer?

tell your school you want an appeal on your english grade then they will sort it out for you but i think you gotta pay them so they can re send them to the exam board so it can be re marked
