yeah but marks can go down as well as up

things could be easier if there was one exam board. more checks. less mistakes.

the hundred quid doesnt guarantee a medical career though does it.

I know people who have had IB offers changed, (HL 665 was changed to 755) however for A Level I know that an offer of AAB (standard offer of the time) was not reduced to ABB, I know people who reapplied (during A Level resits), were re-interviewed and accepted.

I didn't say it guarantees it - but why have the extra burden of being less academically competitive?

'whats a few hundred quid for the safety of your medical career' makes it sound like as long as u pay, get the remarks u fall into the medical career pile, and if u dont, ur in the shit.

what im saying is, u have to be willing to risk marks falling, grades falling and yes running the risk of burdening urself with a less academically competitive application.

25% of all remarks result in a positive grade change...
from my point of view it's worth it.
