GCSE remarking

Is it worth remarking physics and Chemistry if I got 1 mark off of a higher grade in Chemistry and 2 marks off a higher grade in physics?
It’s a science subject so I know the mark scheme is strict, but is it possible?

That’s what I’m doing too hopefully. Good luck!

I'd say it's worth the risk since you're not exactly going to lose much if it's a borderline case.

My question is do you actually need it, and what difference does it exactly make in your college and uni applications. If it does nowt, then there's little point to it other than for your ego. If it does make a difference to whether you would be accepted into college/study your A Level science of choice/uni application for your STEM degree, then by all means.

It does make a difference to my application, so I think I will go for the remark
