Title: 1 mark off an A*- Should I do a remark
Post by: abuyusef on August 30, 2010, 04:32:37 am

Hello guys :)
I got excellent results  and got C3-95 + C4-84  ( 1 mark off an A*) :-\
Should I do a remark  ??? ???

I think there's no harm in doing so. ;D Of course, only you know if you worked hard enough for an A* to begin with, so only you can decide how probable is an increase in your percentage. Plus you are only a mark away from an A*, so even if you get a decrease in your marks it won't affect your grade much.

I'm not too sharp on how Edexcel works though, so it'd be best if you got a second opinion. :D

With Edexcel you can pay a small fee of 15-20 pounds and get an actual photocopy of your exam papers sent to you for review.

You can also send it for re-examination though the fee is larger, but I dont think its too much.

You missed A* for only 1 mark...so sad :'( :'(

But you see the remark depend on you,the exam of C4 was tough in the last session,i sat for the exam too.The thing is that what mark are you expecting?
If you think that you gave the exam better than this than you can send for recheck
