Allow me to

Hi,

Is "Allow me to improve two subjects, please" correct?

It is grammatical, but I don't know what it means.

If you get low marks in a subject, especially in science subjects, you can improve it in my country.

Does that mean you can study more and take the test again?

Allow me

This implies you're asking for someone's permission, so I also find it confusing.

Perhaps:

Please let me take the test again so I can get a better grade.

Please allow me to retake two subjects.

What about "Allow me to improve my marks in two subjects, please"?

Yes. Do you want to retake the test, or do you just want higher marks?

You could retake the exams or resubmit coursework. Simply asking to improve the marks doesn't suggest how you're going to achieve it.
