Is it worth getting my GCSE maths papers remarked??

I was told by my sixth form interviewer that to pass maths it was 122 marks, I got 118 marks. I was 4 marks off a C, is it worth getting it remarked to try and find those 4 marks or is that virtually impossible and a waste of time? What is the possiblilty of gaining 4 marks? And is it worth trying?

Not in maths because there's only a right or wrong answer to everything which means its less likely the mark scheme will be applied incorrectly compared to a more subjective subject such as English.

I disagree, it is definitely possible to get 4 marks. One of my friends who is older than me got a few marks below an a* (about 5) and got 6 marks with a remark. It's plausible. Generally, examiners can get tired and make stupid mistakes, but of course, it is plausible that you will not get the mark even after a remark.
