How likely is it that your marks will go down after a remark?

Has anyone's marks gone down after a remark? If so, by how much? How likely is that someone's marks will go down a lot?

I heard someone got a C in economics. Then it was remarked to an E.
The odds are anything. I guess it depends on how well your answers correlate with the MS. It's not always about how confident you are.

Really? I thought your remark grade was what you kept, regardless of whether it was lower. But I really need to cancel it, I already have my uni place so I really don't want my grade to go down. I read on another thread that someone's marks went down by 14 marks.

Someone please help me. How can I cancel my request?

If you had the place, why would you get the remark? :holmes:

Regarding the remark grade, if you get the second mark and it goes down that would be the mark it would stay at.

I don't know, but I really regret it. My teacher said I'm close to the next grade but it really isn't worth it now.
Okay so I just found on the aqa website that requests can be cancelled by logging onto e aqa or by emailing them so I'll contact my exams office in the morning. Hope they aren't annoyed with me(it wasn't my idea in the first place anyway). Thanks guys.
