A-Level Results Mistake

Hi guys,
So on August 17th I got my A-Level results. A few days later I emailed my school to get my raw marks for each paper. They replied a few days ago and sent me my raw marks. I came across a bit of a problem with my Edexcel Economics marks. The marks they sent me for my Economics papers (when compared to the grade boundaries) gives me a grade C (adds up to 189 marks) however the grade boundaries say 199 is required for a grade B (the grade I got on my results sheet). I emailed again to double check and they confirmed my raw marks were correct. I'm really confused on how I go about resolving this issue. Is it possible that I may have actually got a grade C ?? And if I call in would they change my grade B to a C ?? Or Is it more likely that the raw marks are incorrect? (Just to let you know my school got 100% A*-B for Economics and I highly doubt I got a C)
I would really appreciate any help / information / advice on how I should go about this.
Thank you in advance

What's the issue ? You may have got higher than you should have, I would just leave it.

Talk to your teacher. If you believe that there has been an error then go for a remark. You have until 21 September. If a mistake is discovered then you get your money back.

I spoke to both of the admissions/exam officer teachers in my school. They both gave me the same raw marks (thought one of them may have made a typo but their data shows those same raw marks) They weren't much help to be honest

Nothing to gain except a downgrade. Wait and see. If it says B on your certificate just take it. If they downgrade you then you can remark, but you havent lost anything. Of you feel even the B is wrong and they have made a mistake against you i.e a significant missed mark, then its up to you. Take the risk or not.
