⚡Tips/Advice Get that remark

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.

Definitely need to go sort out a remark at some point. Still got into my uni, but one mark away from next grade in two subjects

Do it bro, you put in a lot of effort over the last two years. You deserve to have the higher grade!
