Asking for a recount of marks?

Last night I realised that, with the marks I got, I am one point away from a B on my AS General Studies.

My marks were

GS1 - 90/120 (B)
GS2 - 54/90 (C)
GS3 - 65/90 (B)

Can I ask for the GS2 and GS3 papers to be remarked in the hope of getting that one extra mark I need for an overall B? What are the chances of it happening?

Yeap you can get them remarked, though at our school they used to make us pay for it. The only thing is, whatever they remark it as, that mark stays. SO if they remark it as a D, you can't reclaim back your old grade, you have to stick with the D. But seeing as you've got such a high C anyway I can't see your marks going down quite that far! Have a word with your teacher, but it might be worth getting it remarked in your case.

I remember having my GCSE RE paper remaked, but it didn't change the mark. MY friend had the same paper mark and went up a grade, but that was GCSE....

You could do - it is possible, although you should bear in mind that you might lose a few marks too - although I doubt you'd go down a grade or anything drastic like that so you don't have anything to lose really. You'll have to weigh it up - given your marks, I bet you'll get a B overall at A2 if you keep up the standard you are at now anyway. Good luck with deciding! :smile:
