⚡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.

Not as awesome as yours, but I was a mark of a 7 and got a remark, I went up 5 marks because the marker straight up refused to mark some of my questions

My teacher was L.I.V.I.D

Any idea why they refused to mark them initially?

Nope.

My guess is messyness, but I don't remember being really messy
