This is terrible. Maybe they know its you and are discriminating? Maybe you have uncovered a massive fraud and they are trying to hide your true mark. Ring them up and demand satisfaction.

Some have already got theirs back
Is there a serious error with the papers I put in for a remark

Ah, we can only speculate. You'd have to ask the person supposed to remark it to get proper answers.

The paper I am remarking was odd and not in line with others

Almost certainly I'd say. Nothing at all to do with the fact that it has only been 4 working days, and perhaps they are a tad busy?

Ring them up and tell them how important you are. Perhaps they are thinking of raising you 4 grades.

It could be a number of things.
-Could be other people applied for a remark first,
-Or they're doing it alphabetically
-People who have them back may know someone who works there who could speed up the process
-Could be they're doing it by subject
-If it's something like English which is subjective and doesn't have a yes or no answer then it could be getting second marked/reviewed,

You'll just have to wait..

It can take up to two weeks, no doubt there will be thousands of others requesting a remark. Don't be so impatient.

Dude can you count. Youve been told on your other threads it takes up to 15 days.
Have 15 days passed since last Thursday.
Stop being so petulant.
Why not just wait 15 days before you start moaning?

Did you not ask for a priority remark/review? That's rather odd.

The exam boards only contract to complete priority reviews them by 31 August. In practice quite a few are back by now but I wouldn't read anything into the ones that aren't - it's down to the exam board, the subject and which reviewer they were allocated to.
