I've just finished GCSEs and I'm going into a levels (studying Maths Biology Geography and Chemistry) in these four subjects I got As and A*s and also passed all of my other GCSEs with Bs.
I got an A in chemistry, only 2 UMS off an A* I think, 338/400!!! I want to do a science or chemistry related course at university. Will I have a much better chance if I get it remarked to an A*? What is the chance that they would find an extra mark or two? If I just get good grades at a level will it matter that I only got an A in chemistry instead of an A*?

As _gcx said, it's 22. I got 361 for Chemistry, just scrapping the A* boundary. for physics I got 359, which is an A. Don't think it's worth the remark, sorry

I wouldn't remark, I would only say remark if you were one off.

The UMS grade boundary for an A* is 360 for the sciences so you were way off. Sorry

338/400? That's 22UMS off an A*, an A* is always 90% UMS, unless you're confusing raw marks and UMS marks. -
