gcse results 2024! (should i remark?!)

English could be worth a remark as its essay based and you’re only 1 mark off, unsure about maths- have you asked your school?

yeah i would look into getting both remarked, as you might bump up a grade if this is something you need to get into sixth form/college. to do this, contact your school/exam officer(if you know how) and ask about getting remarks. sometimes your school will pay for this themselves, or you might have to pay a fee for the remarks.

It probably is a good idea to get Maths remarked — some unis require at least a 6 in Maths.

thanks for the advice! fortunately I was accepted to my first choice of sixth form as I managed to meet the requirements. I am just very worried about remarking my English language exam, as I was predicted 4/5 and got a 7, and with the potential of dropping a grade due to a remark I feel as though it isn't worth the possible A*, even though I need just one more mark

Hey girl,
I'm class of 2024 too! Your results are really good, remember that a 7 is an A. I completely understand the frustration to be 1 off an 8, I'm on the same page. If you go onto the exam board websites it will lay out the instructions on how to start the remark process. It can be quite expensive depending on the company and paper but if I was in your position I would 100% get it remarked as it's essay based and easier to alter.
With Maths it depends which A-Levels you're taking. If you're taking essay-based courses I wouldn't bother as there will be more focus on English grades. If you're going down a maths/science route you might want to get it remarked as it could determine the difference between a 6 or a 7. But remember it's harder for a grade to go up with a remark in Maths compared to English as it maintains strict mark schemes for examiners to follow while English can be more personal preference in some cases.
You should be really proud of your results and know that in a year GCSEs will be a thing of the past. Enjoy the rest of this summer and good luck at college x

Your school can access free copiesof Edexcel papers which teachers can check before asking for a review of marking.

by free copies, do you mean a script? if so, that's great! thank you so much for the advice

It must be a copy of your script NOT the original.

ohh I see, thanks. I checked the link and it says that I need to go onto the exam boards website and I can access my script there, but it requires a login? not too sure how I can get a hold of that, is this to do with my school or do I need to personally sign up for something. I have given written consent for a script that was submitted to my school on results day btw. thank you for your time!!

I just got my gcse results yesterday and got seven 7s (As) one 6 (B) and one 5 (C)
this was my results:
english lit : 7
english lang: 7
history: 7
geography: 7
r.e: 7
combined science h: 7-7
maths : 5
business: 6
In english language I got 1 mark away from an 8 (A*) !! and in maths I got 2 marks away from a 6 (B). Should I get a remark? Does anyone know what the system is to get this remark? I use Edexcel for maths and OCR for english.
Thanks for reading!
edit: I forgot to mention I also met the requirements of my first choice of sixth form ( 4 4s and 2 5s)
AND if you don't mind, please let me know how my results were, are they average? pretty good? im not sure haha

Hii, which is the sixth form you applied to and are they still enrolling?

The exams officer has to download it for you.

just checked with my exams officer and she is charging £5 per paper script. honestly im so bummed, it doesn't sound like much but the cost adds up.
