it's a non year as far as exams go ... universities etc are going to know that the results are dodgy. I don't think the exam results mean much

It is a bit of a mess, they've downgraded based on the schools previous years results.
My year group at school was quite a high performing year - the year above us was a dumpster fire. We would have been badly downgraded based on this system . However - I agree that Universities are likely to lower entry requirements if this is happening across the board. |

She's far and away the best Statesperson and leader in the UK at this time.
In my view anyway. |

It looks a bit like that it's just another way that the people that advocated the lock-down the most, didn't look at the long-term consequences.
The choices to me seem to be let teachers set grades for their own pupils, which leads to bias and inflated results - and a lack credibility in this year's results. Or downgrade those results based on a school's recent history, which is unfair. Last edited by James; 11-08-2020 at 03:00 AM. |

If you downgrade a result it can mean a young person missing out on what they want to do next. If you UPgrade a result, the worst that happens is that they pursue the qualification/institution they wanted to go into and find out they don't have the ability to succeed there. It's better than not getting the chance. Medicine is the obvious example... if a student gets downgraded it might mean not getting into a medicine course AT ALL. If they're upgraded and wouldn't actually have got the grades - it's not like you then end up with a low-ability doctor in 6 years time. If they can handle the course they will become a doctor. If their ability level isn't up to scratch, they'll find out quite quickly. . |

The biggest problem is that it seems to be automatic universal downgrading... which makes it basically impossible for a straight-A's student to get straight-A's. Like someone who would have aced the exam might get bumped down to a B because their school had a bad year in 2018-19. Just crazy.

Indeed although the exam boards operate quite autonomously... which is why I think Wee Nic will have had a "face like a slapped arse" when talking about this. It will have been a decision made at exam board level without Holyrood oversight and (with Nicola hating bad PR, like I said) this will have landed on her desk with a resounding "OH FOR **** SAKE". It is an obviously flawed decision but I suspect the first people in govt. heard about it was when the complaints started coming.
