I'm not wasting my summer revising. Even if my grades aren't exactly what I want I really don't have the motivation for GCSEs anymore. I want to focus on my mental health and work towards my A-levels - my new priority. I know I'll be passing everything and I will have good enough grades to get into my sixth form so I don't see any point in worrying and wasting my time revising for subjects I 'm not taking any further.

I think they should issue a certificate with the best grades on. If my teacher underestimated me, I shouldn't have to show a future employer/UCAS/university the incorrect grade. Because even if I proved I should have been given an A in the first place, it would look like I originally got a B and resat, when I actually wasn't a B grade student in the first place (unlike someone who sat exams in 2018 and got a B, then resat and got an A in 2019)

i know there are colleges that offer gcse package study for maths, English and science but they are now less common. maybe more colleges need to offer this programs again so that if people want to they can just take the gcse programs. this way people can catch up on anything they miss or dont understand

i think that it should just be simple, you get your results in calculated grades and then in autum (september or whenever) if you werenât happy with your calculated grade you can take the exam and the grade you get from the exams you chose to âappealâ for will overide the calculation whether its an increase or decrease

Not only do you need to deal with closing off the schools but also dealing with the additional over flow of students as you are gaining a extra year of students and my school is already working near capacity. In my school exams take up 2 halls and a large room as we have the normal lot in the sports hall. The scribe room that is the main hall or mixed class room. And the laptop room that is in the dance hall or once 6tg form common room. For times where there are low amounts of sen students that gose out the window and it is what ever room is available.
Also with the compacting the exam to 1 long exam instead of the normal length think about how for students with extra time that is a 2 and a half hour straight exam. Also considering that some days you can end up with double or what happed to one of my class mates triple, Now that was a extreme posable example, now on that day I had the physics and maths. that day It went something like this
6:30 first alarm
6:45 second alarm and get up
7:00 breakfast
7:30 teeth and toilet
7:45 leave for school
8:45 chuck stuff in locker get to exam hall
9:00 2h49 maths (2h15 exam plus 25%extra time)
11:50 exit exam go to locker get revision stuff and wait till 12 to get food
12:10 finally got food due to queue
12.30 finish food and go to Library to revise in a manner I can.
12:45 drop stuff at locker and return to exam hall.
13:00 start 2h30 exam
15:30 end exam.
16:45 return home with stress levels higher than the burj Khalifa, have a mental breakdown till 17:30
17:45have dinner and eat a tub of asda napoleon ice cream. And watch shows, till around 19:45
19:45 try to find a will to live 20:30where it returns to a normal level and complety crash on the sofa
6:30 first alam sleep though
6:45 second alarm
7:00 mother alarm and get up feeling like cow manure.
Now is that a short term sustainable system. As longer exams lead to this. So that is that part out the window.

wow taking all the exams in november is a consideration if want or need to sat exams. but you would need to revise while studying for year 12 or doing university degree. unless you want to take a year out but how many people are willing to take a year out. if this happen next september it would be twolots of year 11 and 13. tricky decision

When exams were cancelled we were promised that "students who do not feel this [calculated] grade reflects their performance, to sit an exam at the earliest reasonable opportunity" This is now changing and we're not sure what will happen.â¨â¨ * Which result will stand?⨠* Where should the exams take place?⨠* Should the exams be in October? Results for A level exams taken during October could be published before Christmas and results for GCSE exams taken in November could be published in February. Too late for appealing lost places at university or college. * Should there be a new task for GCSE, AS and A level art and design should be set and marked by the exam board?⨠* Should non-exam assessment be taken into account in the autumn series?⨠* Should the format of the exam papers be the same as those normally taken in a summer exam series?⨠* Should the exam boards have to provide the exact same set of subjects in autumn, as they would in the summer?⨠These are some of the questions that ofqual have put in the Consultation on an additional GCSE, AS and A level exam series in autumn 2020 that is running until 8 June 2020 at 23.45. This is your chance to tell the government what YOU think should happen, in this video I explain what you can do and what the options are
