Should I get my results remarked?

Hi,
When I did my GCSES i recieved a 7 in english language and 77 in combined science, I wanted to remark and everyone told me not to but I did anyways and I managed to go up 2 grades from combined science achieving 8-8 and one grade up for english too -8. I would say go for it, if you are only a couple marks away then there is a higher chance the grade goes up.
Good luck and your grades are great regardless of whether you go forward with this or not

Hey, I just received my exam results to find that I was 1 mark away from a 9 in Computer Science, 2 marks away from a 9 in Maths and 3 marks away from an 8 in German. Would it be worth getting them remarked or does the cost of each remark plus the risk of losing marks and perhaps going down a grade outweigh the gain from moving from 8s to 9s and a 7 to an 8?

You're very unlikely to go down a grade if you remark those three papers, since they're so close to the next grade boundary. Remarking GCSE grades that good already won't really affect anything in your future life (e.g. uni admissions pretty much only care about you A Level results), so only purchase a remark if you care about your results going up for your personal satisfaction. If so, Computer Science and Maths may be worth trying, you're unlikely to get three more marks in German but you can give it a go.

Hi, Apologies jumping onto this thread, my son received a grade 8 in economics (OCR), he is one mark of 9, any thoughts if we should go for a review?Thank you in advance.

If it’s for personal satisfaction purposes, then yes, go ahead.

Otherwise, there isn’t much point.

Also @JaggyRaji, are you aware that if a remark is successful in getting your son up a grade, you are given a refund?

As it’s only 1 mark off, there’s actually a pretty good prospect of success.
