If a person is confident and 100% sure they deserve A's, can their mark be raised from E to C or higher after remark? If you have any stories pls share
How confident the person is that they "deserve" a grade A is irrelevant. What's relevant is how many marks they gained in the exam. If a review of marking shows that they should have been awarded more marks than they were, then their grade can increase as a result - occasionally by two grades.

so it is realistic to hope for two grades to go up? which means 20% more marks
like from 40% to 60%

Well, I said that results occasionally increase by two grades. I wouldn't say it's "realistic" to rely upon something which only happens occasionally.
Let me put the word "occasionally" into some context. In summer 2023, 0.3% of all GCSE reviews resulted in an increase of 2 grades or more. (The year before it was 0.5%.) in summer 2023, 0.1% of all A level reviews resulted in an increase of 2 grades or more. (The year before it was 0.3%.)
Why not just request a review of marking and see what happens?

As long as there is a possibility then it can happen for me.
I cant ask for review because review just means they will see if they calculated the final mark correctly. Remark means they check each question and each answer I wrote then mark it again. And Im sure they gave me more mistakes then I actually did.
Also, Im too broke to ask for the scripts AND remark. And Im too ashamed to ask my dad to pay for this, I already wasted his money by failing

Also Im doing IGCSE not GCSE. And a teacher in the exam center told me it is impossible for a grade to go up by 20% or 10%. She said only 1-3% up despite seeing people have 12% increase in their mark.

The title of this thread is "Igcse and Alevel", so thanks for confirming that we're actually talking about IGCSEs.
Which exam board? Cambridge International? Edexcel International?

OK. See their Enquiries about results guide (International) PDF for details of the relevant services. You will note that the following services exist:
• Clerical re-check: Service 1
• Clerical re-check with copy of script: Service 1S
• Review of marking: Service 2
• Review of marking with copy of script: Service 2S
• Re-moderation of coursework with report: Service 5
• Report on the work of a group of candidates: Service 9
"Clerical re-check" is described thus:
"This service checks that all parts of the script were marked, and that the marks were totalled and recorded correctly."
"Review of marking" is described thus:
"A review of the original marking to check the agreed mark scheme was applied correctly. This service also includes the re-checks in Service 1.
In this context, the ‘original marking’ means the marking used to determine the candidate’s provisional result. This is often, but not always, the marking of the first examiner to mark the script."
So, when you say, "I cant ask for review because review just means they will see if they calculated the final mark correctly" you're wrong. That's called a "Clerical re-check".
And when you say, "Remark means they check each question and each answer I wrote then mark it again" you're actually describing a service which doesn't exist. There is no service where they "mark it again". The most they will do is a review of the marks awarded, on a question by question basis. If the person doing the feels that the "mark scheme was applied correctly" (their words) then the mark stands. Otherwise they will assign a new mark for the question.
