I'm doing them and I don't know what the **** is going on or what is going to happen :indiff:

Some people are saying there will be no exams, others are saying there will be alternatives. I'm just going to keep revising like my mocks are going to happen because Boris changes his plans every 5 seconds

Hello there!

Hope you are OK after hearing the news! If you need any support, there are a few sites/phone numbers on the cancellation of exams megathread. Please do use them if you need to!

I would recommend revising for your exams as normal because we still don’t know what will be happening regarding our exams (CAG’s/internal assessments etc)

He said they would not be taking place "normally" this year, so it would mean they are cancelled.
However, he said another form of assessment would happen, so idk what they will do, but they may use your mock results (if you did them) & predictions for your final grade, like last year.
It is a bit uncertain now, but I'm sure the exam boards will clear it up soon. For now, I would say keep revising so not lose all the hard work you have done so far.

So? Students that are freaking out about their exams being cancelled deserve the right to have a voice and stand up for what they want. Therefore, if someone feels they want exams, I've just given them somewhere to show it
