Should we request an AQA remark when university place is secured

My son has got his A levels results and onto his first choice course. One subject is one mark from the higher grade, aqa is the board. Should it get it re marked? Is it even relevant when he is on the degree course.

@GranolaBaker This is why uni blind is such a blunt instrument. Firms can ask for loads of info but not uni! People interviewing can have all sorts of prejudices, not just uni attended. They might not like the A levels taken or the way you dress!

I don’t understand why NOT to get it remarked? It’s not a lot of money and you’d get it back if it goes up by even 1 mark.

we did this for my DD and her grade went up! She already had her 1st choice but now she also has the satisfaction of having the ‘right’ scores

You get a refund if the grade changes. It's not about the mark.

And it's not a remark. No one is looking for extra marks.

We are going for a re mark on one paper. Thank you everyone
