A Level Economics Remark

Hi everyone - HELP !

I got 164 marks in AQA economics - 3 marks away from an A.

Should I get a remark?

I sat three papers - so just need one extra mark in each.

How many marks into a B are you? Also if the grade doesnt change paying for 3 papers to be remarked could be very expensive. Just be careful before you sign for a remark.

Get a remark in the paper you felt most confident in and the one you think they were harshest on/ got lowest marks (can't be the same paper)

Paper 1: 59/80
Paper 2: 45/80
Paper 3: 60/80

So i feel like I should send all three.

How badly do you need the A? If it is determining a university place then its probably worth it. If you just want the A to look good then maybe just get the paper with the lowest mark looked at?

I A*AB Results.

If my economics can go up to an A then I'll be entitled to scholarship £1000 for achieving AAA

It will be £1000 because if my grade changes they refund you the cost of the remark.
Did you get it re marked in the end? I'm in the same position as you

Yes I did.

I sent all three papers for a remark and:

Paper 1 went up two marks from. 59/80 to 61/80
Paper 2 stayed the same at 45/80
Paper 3 went up two marks from 60/80 to 62/80


Overall my marks went from 164 to 168 - So It went up to an A!!!!!
