Should I get it remarked?

My boyfriend does classics on ocr in as level.
In one paper he got 66/100 UMS, and in the other 73/100 UMS.
Does this mean he is one UMS mark off a B?
Somebody please explain, and let me know if he should get it remarked?

Sorry you've not had any responses about this. :frown:

Are you sure you've posted in the right place? :smile:

Here's a link to our subject forum which should help get you more responses if you post there. :redface:

You can also find the Exam Thread list for A-levels here and GCSE here. :dumbells:

Just quoting in Fox Corner so she can move the thread if needed :h:

66(C)+73(B) = 139 UMS
139 UMS = C
Your boyfriend was 1 UMS off a B which is 140 UMS total.

Those two sites should help you determine what grade you got in each subject according to your respective raw/ums data.

Overall, your boyfriend probably should push for a remark, however he should be proud with his grade regardless if the remark makes a difference. :smile:
