Official: A-level and GCSE 2021 exams replaced with teacher assessed grades

do you think its worth continuing with making revision resources? English lit is so time consuming..

Yes, I would continue to revise as normal. We don't know what will happen, so it's better to keep revising now consistently than to have a panic later.

I would ignore the advice to send random work to your teacher. Teachers are very busy right now and will probably not appreciate students sending in work that wasn't part of any assignment. Just continue submitting any work that's been asked for and ensure it's of a good quality.

It relates to the fact for example if you don't go to Oxbridge,you go to Surrey.If you don't go to Surrey,you go to Middlesborough and so on.Sometimes alternatives bring positives,this is my point.So,whatever grade people will take,it will still get the somewhere that might turn out to be the best for them and their later lives,despite not previously considering it...

Again this doesn't relate to my comment. You need to re-read it to understand what I was trying to say. Pupils on TSR were literally saying that their teachers predicted their cohort based on what university they applied to regardless of what the grade they were working at was. E.g if student A firmed with Surrey their teacher would predict them a B despite student A consistently achieving A*'s likewise if student B would have been predicted A*'s because they firmed with Oxbridge despite their current grades being A/B or lower consistently in their tests.

I can't wait to be disappointed by the number of "my teacher assessed grade is really low but I didn't study enough to sit a proper external exam" posts that pop up later in the year. Even though it was a new situation for last year's cohort, I still remember plenty of people were advising them to keep working in case their grade at the end of the year wasn't what they needed for uni / sixth form almost straight after the exams were cancelled, and so many people still missed that advice.

That's why not all people are made for Oxbridge...

It'll be hilarious and worse thing is I'll have no sympathy them I sound rude and harsh but that's the truth. No excuses this time round once they announce some form of external/internal exams (even if it's autumn exams).

Exactly so why allow teachers to give unmoderated CAGs based on what uni they applied to? You're refusing to acknowledge the fact that even after the u-turn some pupils were still upset with their grades.

Believe me I go to a ''no-excuses'' school and it could be one of the worst things that would ever happen to your mental health.We are humans,certainly not perfect in our decisions.Unfortunately the modern society doesn't understand that...

We are all humans so there shouldn't be that much blaming towards teachers or the government.They are doing their best in these difficult times we are living in.

I don't get it. What's the point of cancelling exams if we're still getting "mini exams", which are basically exams under a different name?

Also there's not a lot of clarity ... are these exams optional or compulsory? Do we continue revising or not?

What excuse do people have for not taking the advice of teachers which is to revise and do a little bit of revision in case things don't go well? Also let's stop using the MH card as a way of telling others that we should make the same mistake as the 2020 cohort.

I just mean that revision is better in a stress free-environment,with no pressure and good-will.

but life is never stress free.

Be optimistic.Not just that grim commanding expectation.It can be stress free if you want it to be so.Don't forget that we are all humans.We cannot be immortal so expect somebody to make a mistake.But,remember.Everything in life can be fixed.
