@MathsNot you do realise some of us need this series as we aren’t able to get assessed this summer? unlike you we’re still young so taking another whole year out isn’t ideal.
@MathsNot Why? Some of us need it. I'm a private candidate, many of us have struggled to get centres to assess us or assess us fairly. This whole set up has been extremely difficult, autumn exams feel like a safety net because I sure as hell dont want to wait for summer 2022 for exams.
Promising news!
Students in the Republic of Ireland are granted optional exams in 2021. Hopefully England will follow suit.

UCAS grades are not over optimistic: they predict a likely/plausible grade. Schools/colleges are judged on the accuracy of these predictions. Can anyone claim that awarded CAGs aren’t over inflate?! @GavinWilliamson@nickgibb @halfon4harlowMP @newnonymous1
The solution is very clear @GavinWilliamson Give us our predictions. This mans tactic is to double down in an effort to come across firm and assertive, but is your image more important than the futures of all external candidates? Do the right thing. #JusticeForResitStudents
Here’s my story, the harsh reality is that it’s the story of too many students. Retweet to help make sure no one is impacted by this crisis any longer.
If you agree that the 20K external A level students still without grades as reported by @newsnight@lewis_goodall must either get their predicted grades or an alternative solution found by Education Select Committee meeting 2/9, please RT.
Have been checking in with several of the external exam candidates who got in touch with me over the last weeks. Alas, in most cases, nothing has changed. Most have lost their uni places and staring down the barrel of a 4th year of A-level study in a dismal economic climate.
The fact that no one is taking responsibility for this neglect clearly shows that someone knows what they’re doing is wrong... and no one wants to own up. #JusticeForResitStudents
“It’s insulting because we’re in the same situation and we weren’t given grades.”
Israt is one of 20,000 A-level ‘external students’ who still haven’t received grades. Despite predicted A*AA results, she now faces the prospect of missing her university entry in this year.
