So after failing band 9 I’m going to request a tabulation since it will give me closure and let me move on.
Apart from losing $100, are there any negative consequences of requesting a retabulation?
 
Do you think that requesting a retabulation could impact your marking next year?
 
I’ve heard there is code incorporated into the database-calling algorithm that auto-fails retabbers. Sneaky bunch.

Don’t waste your money. I think I mentioned already that they double check grading for candidates who fall into the 50% of the middle distribution scores.
I would only do it if your scores were way off.

I’d agree with this - ironically most people may be tempted to go for a retabulation when they feel they were “ever so close” with a band 10 or so where as in fact it is only ever likely to result in a apositive change when there was a proper royal f@ck up with the marking that resulted in a completely incorrect “band 1” when the scantron didn’t pick up the pencil marks, or they lost a couple of pages of your AM exam etc.
 
I failed band 10 last year. Requested a retab, mostly for my own sanity, my matrix was decent, thought it might have only been a point or two.
Passed this year.
Yes you are giving away your cash, but to me, I needed it for closure. In hindsight maybe I could have won the lottery with that $100 as suggested, oh well…
 
I requested one this year on a band 10. Like the others, I’m not actually expecting anything positive from it, but it’s only $100 so whatever…why not.
