Why are we always forgotten and left with nothing. Last yr we didn’t have a way to grades and were forced to a gap yr and now they are doing the same to us… I feel just so helpless right now

Doesn’t really make sense to me 😬 either work harder like everyone else or don’t care about your grades at all, you can’t get both no matter how ‘smart’ you think you are

]]>https://community.secnto.com//post/6332https://community.secnto.com//post/6332Thu, 07 Jan 2021 04:32:20 GMT@dua-zahra No, it is indeed a half grade difference. The point jump isn’t as high from B to A for example. A* just means near perfection and is usually comprised structural elements as opposed to actually getting the answer right

They introduced the A* to make it so that the top A grade students could be differentiated. Just cos it has the letter A in it, doesn’t make it any less of a jump than from a B to an A for example. In fact, those last few marks are often the hardest to get.

Sure there were some minor gaps that prevented my A* but the difference is negligible and I just didn’t like academics to begin with which is the likely reason I didn’t strive for an A*.

Surely being receptive would aid you in this with minimal effort, more so than other people, who are not as ‘naturally’ in tuned as you are? Either way, don’t fret. They’ll defo give us this option.

If they do offer people a chance to appeal/take an actual test then that would be beneficial for all I guess

]]>https://community.secnto.com//post/6327https://community.secnto.com//post/6327Thu, 07 Jan 2021 04:23:20 GMT@kinza-butt Sounds a bit strange to me, dude. A-Levels are designed to punish those that leave everything to the last minute. But if it’s exams that you seek, they’ll likely offer exams after the initial results day where you can achieve them if you aren’t happy with teacher assessments.

I only ever put effort into the actual exams. My predictions were always C’s and I didn’t get a single one

If you got As in your tests, then you’ll get As predicted, sis. They’ll be measures put into place that’ll force this, I reckon.

]]>https://community.secnto.com//post/6323https://community.secnto.com//post/6323Thu, 07 Jan 2021 04:16:11 GMTCompletely will shaft those like me who found it too easy in school until it came to test time when I got A’s. But my teachers woulda pegged me as dumb due to how often I got bored in classes. Teachers grades simply ain’t worth anything let’s be honest
