Remarking A level history paper

I've just received my A-level results and I'm one mark off an A* in OCR History. Is it worth sending it off for a remark? Has anyone gotten a remark before and have any pearls of wisdom? Have I got a good shot at it going up? My school hasn't been useful unfortunately.

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 grades will 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?

Yep, university is the plan. Like I mentioned, I'm just one mark off so I was hoping a review could potentially move it up. I've talked to my school and they basically said it's your choice.
