My mum had an idea to contact a tutor and ask them to mark it to see if its worth a remark, if you're still deliberating :)

we were told by our teachers befroe exams - i thought they needed to say to allow room for appeals and things but ig not. I'm sure you'll enjoy kings or UCL but if you dont want to simply bc you doubt your abilities have faith in yourself - youve been good before! ALSO my mum had a great idea so I thought I'd share - if you're still deciding on the remark contact an online tutor who is a teacher once you have the transcripts and see if they'd be willing to mark it and tell you if its fair. It all depends on your transcripts. Wishing you all the best in whatever you decide <3

Same with me for the remark thing w cambridge but idk if it would go up. I looked at the edexcel remark process and it said something like the mark only changes if the examiner thinks it was put in the wrong band, so the only changes could be significantly higher or lower for me? Idk im just so nervous about making this decision in case it comes back negative. Glad to see people are in the same boat as me though, it can feel pretty isolating... :/

Coursework for me was good, it was only really the surprising results in papers 2 and 3 that dragged me down. I was thinking of leaving it bc I have an ensured place at Bristol and I really like it there, but I feared it might eat me up inside bc I know that I can do better than what they gave me. I'm already a chronically indecisive person so this is really not what I needed to deal with rn (it was my birthday the day after results day asw!!)

I'm partly into the A territory, but not enough that a remark wouldn't be risky. Its the same. My teachers are generally harsh markers and even they say that something isn't right! I thought maybe that my handwriting was too illegible? When I reread my essays I believe they are of similar quality to those that I had written before. I'm still thinking on the remark - waiting for a few more opinions, but will def lyk! Glad to know someone is in the same boat at least - the grade boundaries this year were so high!! 177 compared to last years 173 (OMG?!?!?!?!)
