Anyone going for GCSE re-marks 2016?

DD and I tempted to send back Eng Lang paper that was predicted A/A* and came back B. It's one of her A level choices. I've emailed school and they basically said, she's two marks off, but don't bother as we are happy with the B.
I'm aware that this is a bit rubbish but English is always so subjective that it might be worth a punt. Unlikely to go down (but they do point out the risks)
Anyone else in the same boat?

Very big risk with English as it can go down and often does ! Grade boundaries can be quite tight too. It's annoying I agree, but think long and hard as I've known kids be so upset to go down after a remark. Less of a risk with maths as right or wrong. And the remark is done differently this year I think so only allowed to change the mark if there has been an error, not just an interpretation of the examiner. Speak to school exams officer before doing anything. And good luck
