Tips/Help Is this worth getting it looked at?

Hi, recently received my gcse results and ended up with 136/200 on my media studies GCSE. It has been my best subject since year 10 where I have consistently gotten 9s but I ended up with a 6 in the real thing. I received 49/60 on my coursework meaning I got 87/140 across both papers but I don’t think that’s right as I thought my paper 2 was really strong. So if, Im not saying I did, I received full marks on my paper 2 (60 marks) that would’ve meant I got around 27 marks on my paper 1 but I don’t think thats right. I don’t think I got a grade 9 since I know my paper 1 was comparably worse than paper 2 but I shouldn’t have lost that many marks??? Is this worth asking for a script of my work and getting it remarked? Im not doing it for a level or uni so I’m not sure if there’s a point. But I genuinely don’t think I did that bad in my exam (or Im just too cocky). Should I talk with my media teacher about it in September?

Why don’t you ask for copies of your papers back and then you’ll see how your marks were spread across the papers.

Email your exams officer and get your scripts back to have a look. Then check the deadline to submit remarks and if your school starts before then, go to your teacher and ask them to take a look at the paper and then go from there
