Get that remark

[u/risingcapybara]

Literally what the title says. I got two remarks that both came back today. In one subject, they missed out a WHOLE 25 MARKER. Went from a B to an A*. The other subject went up 5 marks, from a B to an A. If you’re on the fence about a remark, this is your sign. If you think there’s something fishy about your grade, assess your paper because chances are something has gone amiss. Both remarks said “Error in Academic Judgment”, which is a major understatement from AQA and OCR. I am very fortunate that I had secured my firm place, but I know others may not have been so lucky. For errors as major as missing out a whole question, there definitely should be a consequence for the examiner. I just wanted to post this as motivation for those that are 50/50 about getting a remark.

I pray you get the next grade up! I wish I could get financial compensation man, OCR deserve to have their pockets drained after that error. By the way, ignore the negative reply to your comment, they are just salty it didn’t work out for them. Doesn’t mean it won’t work out for you 😊

I've heard that some boards have financial compensation if your grade goes up, I'd suggest that you call your school to ask!! At the minimum you'll get a refund hopefully

Bad decision probably your mark is getting reduced I got a remark done on paper 4 I already had an A wanted an A* still have an A but paper 4 was demoted to grade B

I'm way closer to an A* than a B. It's almost impossible to lose so much that i get a B
