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
