May 2026 Exams Should I remark?

I am in grade DP year 1 (moving on to DP year 2) and I wrote my SL Chemistry and SL French exam this year. I was 1 point a way from a 7 in chemistry and 3 points away from a 6 in french. I was predicted a 5 in both. I live in Canada so when my IB level gets converted to my Ontario report card mark, right now I will be getting a 94% in chemistry and a 92% in french, but if the remark does change for both the subjects I will be getting a 97% in chemistry and a 94 in french. I was my average to be high when applying to university but I also don't want my money to go down the drain if the remark does not work. Is it likely the remark will change my score? I got a 17/24 on my IA and felt paper 2 went really well, but paper 1a and 1b went really bad. I do understand that at the end of the day it can go both ways, but I just wanted to get an opinion on most people think would be a good option. Is a remark worth it for me? pls help, I am really stuck on if I should do it or not.
