Hey! Does anyone know how long does the appeal process take?
For GCSE students can they appeal and then retake in November? I mean if a GCSE student decides to retake, it will not affect his year, I could start the A level course and then sit the exams (eg A levels students who decide to retake are kind of compelled to take a gap year).
How does it work for GCSE?
Good. Now he needs to get rid of Autumn 2020 exam fees. I am not paying a single penny to take exams I am having to take because of a stupid algorithm.

Read somewhere that they don't even have a system in place for the appeals yet. I could be wrong though. It could take a little over a month, but we don't know that yet.

Don't know the answer to your second question. Sorry.

I have read reports that this might happen as well. HOWEVER, no confirmed reports yet

I hope they do. And they should do. But, grades should just be overturned and we are given our teacher grades. 😂
