School Closure and Exams

Original post by Tsrtingz

I’m so upset by this news as I’ve heard a lot that they’ll consider classwork/tests, mocks, predicted grades etc and give you those. If this is the case I can tell half the country will be outraged by it when it comes to results day... but I doubt they’ll be postponed as that’ll effect colleges, unis and so on down the line so idek.

I can tell you a lot will also be outraged and unmotivated if they are delayed.

Any situation would be unfair for some people.

Not changing anything about the exams would be incredibly unfair.

It would be unfair if they kept the exams the same.

but same for those who were hoping to do their gcse's like some people may have a biased predicted grades and some people would have different histories where they studied in a different country till year ten and since being moved here the school has no data bt the person therefore putting down predicted grades.

Give new predicted grades based on up-to-date work.

Some people are getting target grades (based on data like KS2 and location) and predicted grades (what they think you will get) muddled up. They are different.

Therefore will be more accurate and reliable, your predicted grades are not solely based on mocks!

I think the biggest issue for a lot of people is simply that it’s out of our control. An exam you can revise for because everyone has a set date and the amount you do and how hard you work for it is up to you but now this alternative system means that control has been taken away which is what will make people upset.

When can they even put in place a set date now? We don't know when coronavirus will end. We can't just keep delaying exams. There has to be a solution soon.
