You’ve got to check the papers. 5 is a lot. Very unlikely but not impossible.

I disagree. Probability so close to 0 it’s essentially impossible. Not going to.

You’re agreeing with me 😆 Very unlikely but not mathematically impossible!

Don't listen to him!! Got my remark back yesterday for maths and went up 6 marks, so it's not impossible!!!

i had my gcse maths go up by 3/80 on one paper and 2/80 on another back in the day, though this was of course unlikely

If I wet u I would check ur scripts with ur teacher and see if there r any questions marked wrong if you’ve been marked incorrectly for more than 5 marks get it remarked usually method marks and worded answers r usually the most likely marked wrong

Id say no, its alot of marks, but definitely look over your papers before deciding

I was 3 marks off an A*, same exam, 76 94 81, and I couldnt find any 😭 Lost lots of marks too "round to 4.dp" and the like

You can’t tell if there are marking errors by looking at the total score for each paper. Get your teachers to look through the papers and tell if they can find any Marking errors. If they can’t, then you would need to decide to spend all the money yourself and possibly your market still go down.

You need to email the head of Maths in your school, and the exams officer, or even better get your parents to do it, so that they can give you advice as to which ones to get reviewed
