Alevel 2020 vs Alevel 2021

I am a 2021 student and I think it has been unfair to both just in different ways. Whilst everything you have said is true, there have been disadvantages for 2021 students. For example, depending on subjects and school, a lot of ours were based solely on those exams, whilst the 2020 students grades were based on their overall performance so it included topic tests etc. Furthermore, our exams were announced months after we had been told by the government that we wouldn’t be doing exams. Also, for the 2020 year group, you were at school for all of year 12 and most of year 13. By the time lockdown was announced most subjects would have finished most of their content and any exams that you did were done before that. Which means that your learning wasn’t actually affected by lockdown (of course the exams were, but the actual learning part wasn’t). For our year, we were in lockdown for just over four months of year 12, and just under three months of year 13, which means most of the content was covered over teams, or we were just sent textbook pages or powerpoints to read.

Hi,
I'm not sure if this thread is still alive or not but here goes any way! I'm currently doing a thesis for my MA on whether algorithms in the public sector results in social inequalities. My case study is the 2020 A-Levels. I would love to interview anyone who may have been affected by it. It would take no more than an hour online but I think it's very important that students affected by it are included and are heard especially as time moves on. If you'd like to get involved, please reply and I'll set something up. Also, feel free to post below as well! :-)

i dont mind sharing my experience with 2020 Alevel grades. it was a horrible experience, with teacher biases and racism. i think all my friends were devasted with their grades.
