Sorry I am posting in AIBU for traffic!
recently daughter took three AS levels and is educated online. She got two A and a C for history. I am just wondering before I pay over £200 for her marked paper if this is actually weigh doing?

Depends on how far off a B she was. If it was several marks then I wouldn’t bother. What was her predicted grade?

Why would it cost £200? Looking at the marked paper is free. However in most cases it won’t tell you a lot - the papers are marked online and annotation is limited to ticks and some codes in most cases.
Edit: I’ve been retired a year so there may be a cost now but I’m not seeing it going up to £200 just to see the paper. Not even a remark costs that per paper.

Her predicted grade was an A and the paper is coming via Tutors and Exams limited. Not sure if this accounts for the cost or if we could get a copy cheaper.

In a school the exams officer can request a pdf of the marked script for nothing (or could when I was working). I think you are being ripped off…
