My mum said to my brother to do well on every test, my brother said it didn’t matter for mocks but he still tried his best, I think my mum knows the future
Year 12s have been worst affected. Missed 5 months of A-Level content which had to be learnt at home. Our grades will be much lower than this year's, because we will actually write our tests. Our GCSE grades also appear worse than year 11 because we did our tests properly. Plus there will be less university spaces next year with all the year 13s and foreign students delaying going to uni until next year because of the pandemic.
@@adarsh601 It's not really an opinion, I'm pretty sure it's just an accepted fact that the 2019 GCSE exams were for the most part the hardest they've ever been. It does fit the trend of exams being made more and more difficult every year for seemingly no justifiable reason and if exams had gone ahead this year, I imagine they probably would have been more tricky again.
@@tillyelizabeth well luckily I found them ok. I'm sure they would have reduced grade boundaries to make sure % passing/getting 9s was roughly the same as the year before. Definitely harder than this year though!
The way UK solved grades is garbage hooly, in Denmark we get grades in winter and summer these grades are going to be our exam grades so it at least has something to do with our individual skill instead of a pc determine it.
last year i was predicted at an F and got an F for my mock exam in national 5 maths (GCSE level in scotland) and i got an A in the final exam, there’s no way to predict exam grades, what the governments done makes no sense though
I got my GCSEs on Thursday and I have been shafted on some that I knew I could've done better on the exam but I do believe based on the evidence they had it was right because I screwed up the mocks in some of the subjects. However some of my friends have been properly shafted with their results
See the problem is if I was in their situation I would’ve done so much worse than I did, during year 11 I did badly up until the actual exams where I did really well for myself, some people may work better under pressure so not having exams screws them over
I dont understand england... There are no conditions to do the exams but you can go to a bar or a disco, where I live we did the exams with special conditions with a different format, but the discos are still closed 🤷♂️
@@kiyannarose. no because they just made the rooms have 1/3 of the usual students and spaced out the tables... its not rocket science, its what its done in restaurants and everything else
It’s not just if your self employed they take it off you based on income if you are employed as well. Damn Randolph is earning less than I thought, 23k ish per year is the minimum before you start paying it back
I would say bs but i got A* (9) in sciences, got 7's, got 9 in drama, got a 7, got 8 in computer science, given a 6. So dumb all my grades are lower than mocks. Mainly got 7s at least but still unfair
My school decided to take the previous years' results anyways and dropped our grades tremendously...it sucks when we put in so much effort just to have a school or exam board run it down a drain
I get that people should be given predictions but at the end of the day they have missed part of their course so everyone’s grades should be lowered a little bit. You can’t give someone an A who did 6 months less work than someone who worked really hard for an a last year.
Guys I’m in year 8 when should i start to like get into the zone of revising because I’m in set 3 and I always get 25% or lower can anyone give any tips
This is like how they mark it in Australia (vic) normally 😒 you sit your exams but then your mark changes depending on where you live, your school, your schools reputation, your access to facilities, any hardship and IF THEY THINK THE UNIT IS HARD OR NOT!! Art units always got marked down heaps because they were claimed to be easy when students put months and months of hard work into their portfolios. Science and math units always got marked up because they were claimed to be hard. like wtf.
Bilal32155 yup, its known as ATAR scaling (ATAR is like our final result, we get a number which is our ranking in the age group eg. ATAR of 80.0 is like 80% so you are in the top 20% of the age group. A unit get a number normally between 20-40 thats scaled too and those units are added up to be the ATAR) but its all scaled on dumb things. They claim its not on if the subject is hard or not, but if a kid gets a 28 in art and another kid gets a 23 in biology, the art kid is scaled to 24ish and the biology kid is scaled to 25ish.
we do our re gcse in y10. i got a terrible grade which was given to me as my predicted last year. Now i can sit my Re gcse in November but i will miss 3 months revising for my gcses. hahah
@@Nemo7612man he worked for that. If he wasn’t funny if he didn’t have good editing skills. If he didn’t have good charisma and personality and make banger videos he wouldn’t be where he is
I may not have got given the grades I was aspected to get, but at least I can say that I tried, and I think that everyone should be happy that they’ve tried. Congratulations to everyone who tried.
In IGCSE which is like the international British system grades are given by forecast where your teacher and the head teacher and the principal predict your grade through your work throughout the year.
@@ollielaws7489 im guessing you mean isn't* (make more sense with although) well i depending what job you want and how much money you want to make, Oxbridge will really help gaurantee a high paying one, I'm going to apply to ucl since it's like every 1 in 10 gets in oxbridge, but yeah defo consider your options to the highest degree.
I’ve just gone into year 11 and I had my food mock just before lockdown and we’ve just been told yesterday that that’s going to be used for our final grade which we haven’t gotten back yet
Remember me in 10 years when an interview goes viral about a guy who is a massive company owner and he got there just because he was nice with his teacher and gave 0 fucks towards studies
I live in Scotland so the grading system works different for National 5’s compared to GCSE’s, but I do know a lot of people that got completely shafted due to the way it was done. Fortunately I actually did a lot better then I would’ve thanks to the system 😁
