Is it worth getting a remark?

Will a change in grade affect your Uni application? Could be worth it if so
Definitely chat to your Teacher/School and get their advice on this too

If you are looking at Law then it would probably be worth risking the retake as they will be looking for as high as possible in this.
If you can also get along to speak to them, and/or their admissions team that would help guide your decisions.

Yes, I think it's worth getting your exam remarked. You were only 3 marks away from a B, and the marking process is not always perfect. There is a chance that the marker may have made a mistake, or that your answer may have been misinterpreted.
You're closer to a B than you are to a D, so remarking makes sense.
Hope this helps

I have exact same issue but for Edexcel politics - expecting A* but ended up being 5 marks off an A. Gutted - will defo request a remark. Issue is politics is an essay based subject so it's more subjective whereas there might be less room for interpretation in Economics? I would still contact your teacher though and see what they say.

Did you use any additional booklet? Examiners have to manually attach the booklet to a question and so sometimes it gets missed. If you used an additional booklet, then ask for a remark.

Similarly, did you answer some questions outside of the designated answer space (eg blank pages/spaces)? If you did, that may also be missed too. We're supposed to mark everything but sometimes we do miss it when we mark hundreds of scripts. We only see the designated answer space when marking and have to manually attach anything that's not in the designated answer space.

Handwriting. This isn't even if it your handwriting is good/bad, but is your handwriting legible. Oftentimes, if an examiner can't understand it, they may just skip it (this also applies if your writing is cramped, eg writing two lines when you've been given one line). If you have handwriting that's not legible, it may be worth a remark and see if a second examiner can understand everything you've written.
