How can I request my exact marks

On my grade sheet I only got a mark for psychology, Biology and Chemistry marks are missing, and I wanted to see if it was worth a remark - say if i was 1 mark off I would probably try but I have no clue

So first thing is that "remarks" are actually called a review of marking. It's a check that exam boards do to make sure the exam board has followed the correct processes and calculated your grade correctly. It's not where they will look at your answers and re-evaluate them.

If you are close to the grade above in a subject, it may be worth getting a review of marking and you need to speak to your school about this. If you are close to the grade below, getting a review of marking can be risky because there is a small chance that your marks can be lowered.

Most marks stay the same, some go up and a small amount may go down. The first thing that you need to do is talk about this to your school. One question, is university your next step?

yes, I got an offer from my insurance, so honestly I'm not too worried about the reamark either way but I do really want to know what my score is to put things into perspective.

Firstly, huge congrats on getting into your insurance :woohoo: that's super awesome, well done!!! :jumphug:

Honestly I wouldn't worry about the remark then, chat with your school but I am not sure it would make a huge difference in this case

sorry, so just to check, is it not possible to get a mark if the exam board didn't give it to me originally? Like is there a way i could inquire to aqa and ocr directly for it free of charge

I think the school should have a record of your marks so you can get that for free from them free of charge!
