What should I do- AS results?

Question

So pleased with my AS results got A in psychology and B's in Geography, Geology and R.S. But in Geology I was 2 marks of an A 238/300 and you need 240/300 for an A, should I get the papers remarked but if I do this is there a possibility that my mark will go down instead of up, not sure whether I should get them remarked? (Exam board for Geology is OCR) Plus was 6 marks away from an A in both Geography and R.S, should I get these remarked or re-sit a unit in both of them? Anyone with experience of getting papers remarked or resiting a unit please help.

Answer 1

Well perhaps consider getting Geology remarked.

Because even if you do go down- it's not going to affect your B grade.

But it can be expensive and there probably isn't much point.

I wouldn't resit a unit either because again, sometimes you have to pay, and the A2 year is much more important in your final grade and since you're so close to an A I think you can get an A at the end of it.

Also I was talking to my teacher yesterday about resitting a unit and he said it can be quite pointless since it's the same stuff you need to learn- if you didn't know it then you probably won't know it now- espescially in fact based subjects. And since you're not going to have any lessons in the old unit you might even go down.

So yeah I don't think you need to resit or remark- but why don't you talk to your teachers- they know you and your situation a lot better!

Your grades are very good! Well done!

Answer 2

if your pleased with the results dont resit

Answer 3

Having done a-levels my advise would be firstly DONT get your paper remarked, as they very rarely change the mark, as it happened to me (even though i should have got more marks!)

and assuming u are going to do A2 DONT DO A RESIT! as you can just make up for those few marks in your A2 papers. (trust me! i know)

hope it helps, any more advice feel free to e-mail me

Answer 4

resit it, dont get it remarked!

Answer 5

you may aswell get your geology remarked because if the result does go down instead of up it will only go down a few points and it will still be a B whereas if it goes up you get your A!!! take the chance. good luck
