Last week I got my results and forgot to post them here. I only had to sit one exam this year, as my Sixth Form have scrapped AS Levels unless they are mandatory (e.g. I think everyone who sat Maths had to do it as well as some people who done a different course which equated to an AS/A-Level, and people who are dropping a subject at the end of the year too) as they do not mean anything to UCAS or stuff like that anymore.

I done ICT (Cambridge Technicals), which I chose over Photography due to me dropping that in the beginning of the year which I now regret, and I was **** at the subject. The course was linear, but I was able to complete the course only doing 2 exams but I don't know what that really equates to, I need to find out when I get back so I can put it on UCAS. We had two different teachers, and the paper one teacher we initially had in the year was realy nice but she was up the duff and left in November, so I stopped turning up when they failed to employ a new teacher until the new year - who just happened to be an alcoholic teacher who had to take time off after being drunk in her Health and Social lessons (She was a Business/ICT and H&S teacher). I just stopped turning up to the lesson because I kinda gave up, but it was the easier paper and there were a lot of guess questions and 15 marks on ticky-boxes. I turned up to one lesson after easter, but decided to **** it and get more frees. Then the other class, same thing happened, I stoped turning up after new year because I couldn't be arsed but the teacher was more strict and collared me to ask why I hadn't been going to the lessons, so I started going back but not that much (I recall never going on a Thursday for some reason) and then when I decided to drop the subject I kinda just went away but came back before the exam but I got scared and hid until I came to the lesson one time and he thought I didn't have to turn up so I just was like ok bye then.

Paper 2 teacher, he humilated me and was very rude. I hated him. He used to joke about my grades to the year 13s in the computing classes and also the year 13s that were in our class to who didn't get good enough grades. He just wasn't nice and tried to have banter with me but its just like **** off you're a **** teacher please don't disguise it with humour because thats what he does. He told me on the last lesson I went to I was never going to pass the subject....

Well I passed ICT

So how do you like them apples sir. I can't wait to go back next term and see his face. I didnt do much revision because I just gave up and I had so many circumstances which affected me in the exam/prior to the exam, yet I still done it. I was really happy with how I done. I think I only get 8 points for UCAS but it is still something and I am chuffed with myself. Its good to prove people wrong, and teachers like him just shouldnt be teaching.

I start my Health and Social Course next year, with Media Studies and Film Studies. I have to stay an extra year, but I always wanted to do that anyway because I didn't want to go to University Straight Away. We done Mock exams for Media and Film in our final week before Work Experience, and we will be getting those results on the first day of the term. I'm more nervous for them because I get to see how I'm really doing in these subjects, because I feel like I haven't properly been assessed until now as we sat two papers for each subject and were full time, it was quite intimidating and approximately 4 hours in that hall is quite frankly disgusting i dread the full time of A-Level exams next year AND I may require extra time due to my mental health issues preventing my concentration, RIP and you arent even allowed for a piss in the exams >

fuming

But Congratulations and well done Daniel and AProducer'sWetDream for your grades and getting into University <3

Hi all, good luck with your results today if you are getting them!

I didn't post last year, but got C's in Media and Film

I stayed an extra year and got an A* in my Health and Social Care Diploma which accounts for 3 A-Levels. I'm not going to University and just getting voluntary experience and a job so I can earn money but university may be on the charts in the future

Suck it up, honey

My A-level results ended up being better than my predicted grades, my mocks and my AS-levels so I do really feel for this year's students, if I was getting my results they'd probably be worse than what I actually got. Some teacher's obviously were over inflating grades though so it is a difficult one but given that students have been deprived of the chance to prove themselves and live up to those expectations I do think its harsh to knock back so many grades, especially given the price that the young have paid for this pandemic

The Slim Reaper · 14-08-2020, 11:06 AM

Wonder how the tory red wall feels now.

The Slim Reaper · 14-08-2020, 11:09 AM

Not a single kid at eton had their grades lowered.

Livia · 14-08-2020, 11:24 AM

The pandemic was nobody's fault, not even the Tories. I'm sure no one who's had their grades fiddled with is happy... but on the upside, everyone can resit in the autumn. Whatever happened, whatever "solutions" were decided, however it had been handled, hardly anyone was ever going to be happy.

Yeah, this kind of "no one's to blame" hogwash doesn't work in the reality of what has happened.

Yeah I got BCCD at AS Level and then bumped them up to AAB for my final A Levels.. it’s crazy... it means they won’t be able to get into unis they had planned on going to and won’t be able to go into careers they imagined themselves getting into (those that require certain grades (medicine, Vet, dentistry, engineering industry, scientist, finance etc). It must be so frustrating

4 years away from voting, it's not even a consideration at this point as things will be back to normal (hopefully) over the next couple of years. There are clear distinctions in the kids that kept their grades, and the kids that didn't. This also goes back to Goves exam policy change in 2013.
