Is it worth getting papers remarked?

DD has been very unlucky with grade boundaries. For 4 subjects she's missed the next grade up by 1-2 marks.

I'm thinking of having them re-marked- realistically though do grades ever change?

DD has been offered a remark in English Lit as she missed an 8 by 2 marks. She's already got her college place based on the 7 so not sure whether it's worth the risk if it could go lower?

It's a 'review of marking' not a remark.
So If the first examiner's marks are reasonable even if the second disagrees, they stay. Some subjects are more likely to change than others.

Yes, they do, but make sure that there's no chance that they could go down too, because that also happens. If you can afford it, given that, why not.
