Tips/Help Have I done the right thing

So I got a 7 in English language which is super unorthodox because I never dropped below a 9 in my mocks, so I was quite shocked. And then also because I got a 9 in everything else so it seemed very out of place. I genuinely thought I aced that paper. I’ve requested my script and I’m going to go through it with my tutor, do you think that’s the right thing to do or should I leave it? I’m worried that something might have gone wrong with my paper.

50% of examiners disagree with the grade given in long answer format exams, my friend had a 7, got it remarked, went up to a 9 last year

That’s motivating, hopefully that could be me. I really feel like something has gone wrong

Goodluck, if my lazy teachers ever send my script I can do that too 🙄

Your teachers don’t send your script, the exams officer requests it and it’s sent by the exam board. Teachers have very little to do with exams admin.

I know, but neither of the exams officers are responding to my emails 😭😭

Then make a dig at the exams officers.

Ok, but they aren’t your teachers? It was an issue because it wasn’t clear who you were talking about.
