    @Nataliq @Rish12317 sorry you got 49. It happened to me once. I did loads of internet searching all answers were it was a waste of money to get it looked at. Apparently all they do is check that the totals add up rather than re-mark. I believe if you get 49 the marker has to go through the paper again to make sure they cannot squeeze another mark. Anyway after learning all this. I still paid for it to be looked at for peace of mind and it still came back on 49.

    I am 99.9% sure yours will too. But I suppose you never know.

    Passed first time with 51%. Very lucky. To be honest. I thought I would have scored higher as I was lucky with the questions. But a pass is a pass. I score higher in the exams I think I have failed.

    I personally wouldn’t bother. I got 49% in FR and after reading all the info on admin review knew it was futile. Apparently if you are close to the pass mark the marker has to hunt for any additional marks they might have missed. You might have or originally got 48% and they only found an extra 1%

    They do not remark your paper in an administrative review they just check that the totals add up.

    Anyway after saying all this it still played on my mind. I thought the marker might be working from home with children in the house due to Covid and might have been distracted so I paid for it and it came back as expected at 49%. Only a very small percentage of admin reviews get a higher mark. It depends on your finances. If you can afford the £50 for peace of mind you might want to do it like I did. But I think you have more chance of winning the lottery. You could spend the £50 on lottery tickets!

    I got 49 too. Apparently they are meant to be automatically rechecked if your score is a close one. Even so for peace of mind I am considering it. It’s £52 it says on the website and they only do control checks they do not remark it. Bad luck I know how you feel.
