Worth getting a remark or not plssss help

Hey so basically I got a C in history and I was 6 marks off a B, is it worth remarking? In a crisis rn as I got into none of the unis I wanted and I don't want to settle for one I don't like.

I didn’t do History, but 6 marks is quite a lot to get on a remark. Most remarks don’t change the grade. Have you considered taking a gap year and retaking?

AHH well the thing is I can't afford to retake and history is veryyyy hard to do without a teacher

That’s a fair point. Did you get into a uni? In terms of career it probably won’t matter what uni you do your undergrad (depending on your career), particularly if you get a high grade or go on to do postgrad.

I’d always go for it… that way you’ll never be in doubt. Worst that can happen is it was a waste of money but compared to the best outcome of getting into uni it’s a no brainer.

Your other choice is to take a year out and reapply with the grades you have, next year. This would give you time to find a Uni you would be happier with

Hmm true but I got AAC which won't rlly get me in the unis I want

Then you have to get a remark and consider the retake.

Yeah, but given 6 marks is quite a jump, I think it is more likely you will have to retake, sadly.

I still think going through all your university options is the better bet, to be honest. There are plenty of amazing places out there.

well, check out the boundary for the grade lower and if that is nice and far away then you have nothing to lose (as marks can go down as well as up) with a remark and you need to chat with your teachers about which paper is the best bet for you to try.

and then retake if that doesn't work but keep looking at all the uni options in case the retake doesn't pay off.

Literally what have you got to lose.. anyone saying not to remark why do you think that?

I'm 16 marks away from the boundary for the grade lower so I think it's not too big of a chance I'll be marked down, thanks for thr advice! Also, what do u mean by whicj paper is best just asking ??
