A 4 in GCSE AQA ENGLISH....is that ok?!?!?!

Like all the time I would get 5 and this is not even a 4
It’s 3 marks greater than getting a level 3!!!
I mean I’m not THAT bad at English so wth went wrong?!
I thought the papers went good! Or alright but not to deserve that grade!

I acc want a remark but I’m like 20 marks away from a 5 but I really want a 5!
Maybe the examiner missed by 20 something marks? So I get a 5 😌
Honestly I don’t think it would be worth getting it remarked, as they are very expensive and you are unlikely to go up by 20 marks, a 4 is still a good grade in English as you passed, is there any reason why you need a 5, or is it just a grade you want, honestly I wouldn’t recommend getting it remarked but if you want to you can 😊

I wanna do Business, Psychology, Spanish and IF ONLY I got higher in Eng Lang I could’ve gone to this college I applied to...
This college gave me an enrolment date next week so then I’ll know if they’ll accept me or not coz they expect 5 in Eng Lang...
If I don’t get it (HOPE NOTTTT)
Where else can I go?!?!?!?!

Just another thing to say... my sixth form doesn’t have Spanish....
So I have to choose another subject but I hate all of them!!!! Also our sixth form has choices in blocks and r really restricted

I think they’ll be lenient coz it’s just one subject they’re giving me abit of lea way
Also I have a disability so they might
Hi, How many marks do you need to get for a grade 5? My year 10 child got grade 4 equivalent to 96 marks. (English literature)

What exam boards did they do?

I'm not 100% sure as none of the marking system or anything was explained to us or the children. I'll have a look at her result sheet and go from there. Thank you
