Autumn A-Level exams 2020
WatchThis discussion is closed.
Hey guys, is anyone else feeling really unprepared for the autumn A-level exams? Personally, I feel like 2 months is not enough time to learn/revise 2 years of content.
P.S. I found this petition on delaying the october exams to allow us more time to study, if anyone has the same opinion.

Yo Im sitting 2 subs, maths in autumn and geo in summer. And yes there’s literally no time it’s all an actual joke. But we can’t do anything

Rescheduling exams would be a logistical nightmare and they would probably not be able to get results out before the UCAS January deadline. But I do empathise.

I'm sitting English Lit and History A Level in October... it's so soon! English Lit isn't too content heavy which is why I've decided to do both now. Really nervous, feeling more anxious everyday.

Uhh most people have had 6 months (March to September) so far to revise for the autumn exams not 2 months (sorry if people get annoyed by this comment but I am sick of people claiming that they only have 2 months to revise for the autumn exams when in reality for most people they have had 5-7 months to prepare for these exams).

No because most people who are decent at a levels thought they’re teacher were gonna bless them. Which hasn’t been the case. So yes we only have 2 months to revise unless u performed very poor in school and knew the teachers were gonna screw u.

So what? Some people from other year groups and private candidates have also had no teacher support yet they've had to work throughout March- Results day and beyond or people with learning disabilities who have still had to try and get some work done. Sick of people using the no teacher support argument too. Sorry for the harsh comment but these arguments are really starting to grid my gears.

Exactly like many private candidates and resit students didn't even get a grade on results day so they are having to sit and revise for the autumn exams, the some of old Y11s and Y12's may have to sit an (or several) autumn exams during the mist of their A-levels and mocks, gap year and resit students are having to take another year out and/or fall another year behind etc.

I agree that private candidates and resit students have been most affected and I totally get that. I wouldn't invalidate or minimise their experience. I'm just sharing how I feel about the autumn exams since many of us are really anxious about them.

Guys it’s fine if everyone’s in the same boat and hasn’t really prepared then they might lower the grade boundaries so let’s all just try our best and get the amazing grades we deserve!
