Just wondering if it's worth it to have my exams checked again.

In that case, we can get an examination inspection for all our subjects and hope for the best? What are the chances of it changing?

Very low (as in it won't happen). Also, applying for a remark is not the same thing as an inspection of script.

According to one of the senior teachers from my school, only a very small number of students have ever managed to scrape a few extra marks on their VCAA exams. Unless your ATAR is marginally below the cut-off for your desired course, I honestly don't believe the effort is worth it; especially if it's for prestige's sake...
2010: CSL [34] - Biology [41]
2011: English [48] - Physics [47] - Methods [43] - Chemistry [42] - Specialist [31]
ATAR: 99.40

How do you apply for a remark? Must you inspect the script first?
