Opening my A-LEVEL results *live reaction*

- Hello everyone!
Welcome back to my channel :)
I completely understand there are thousands of students in different/worse situations than myself but this was my personal reaction. I had worked so hard for that A* or even an A and I am truly let down.
However, I feel a lot better knowing there are other people who can relate to me and are going through the same thing.
I hope the rest of you are pleased with your results and for those who aren’t, we can only hope the appealing process is a lot smoother than this!

Soooo hard to 'like' this video. What's to like. Government have disregarded hours of teachers' work and gone for an algorithm that's clearly a pile of crap!! So proud of how you handled this, all your years of hard work as a student and for being the amazing young lady you are xx
Tracy Simpkin 😊 thank you! I feel so bad for the teachers as well, it feels like their work has gone to waste as the Government have just ignored them! ESPECIALLY when they know us better than anyone! XX
him rubbing your head was so sweet and supportive omg
I know!! Bless him! X
My brother had the same thing, he got two grades lower than his mocks and people who got lower than him are about two grades higher. The whole grading thing is stupid and it’s really not fair
It makes no sense!!! And you’d think they’d take the actual evidence of what the students are capable of into account, for example: the mocks and what the teachers have said! Why would they assume high achievers would automatically perform worse in their final exams?! Crazy! I hope your brother appeals and it gets sorted!!
itsjxylxn Thank you!! I hope everything is sorted with you :)
I feel for you. I Needed AAA for my course. Got A* A B in my mock. They gave me BBC. First choice rejected me left me In the dumps. Furious how incompetent the government actually is
How did the grades change so drastically?! That’s honestly ridiculous!!! I’m so angry for you! Hopefully because everyone is in similar situations, there’s enough people who have appealed to cause an uproar and the government fix this mess and Unis are more considerate (if we’re lucky)
itsjxylxn I go to a grammar school in Northern Ireland where they have downgraded overall grades by nearly 40%. Individually my school was downgraded by a third in grades. Honestly was so confused and flabbergasted myself. I am appealing tho
I’m unsure of my schools exact statistic but let’s just say I didn’t see a single teacher or student genuinely happy with the results. Mostly everyone I spoke to had been downgraded so I felt my school went through a similar process like yours. I’m so glad you appealed, it’s the only thing we can really do right now.
itsjxylxn it’s seems a very inconsistent algorithm they are using, for example a person in my school got all B’s this year and ended up with 2 A’s and a B. Makes no sense. Yeah hopefully the appeal process will bring clarity. I have an unconditional for my 2nd choice but don’t want to go really. Might repeat a ywar
I also noticed in my school students with lower grades in their mocks and lower grades given by the teachers had been upgraded by the system?! And the high achievers were down graded. It truly makes no sense and I’m so angry for everyone. Hopefully they’ve put a bit more thought into the appealing system!
I only know what you mean about how you wanted a A* but you got a B. I would of had the same reaction as you. I get my GCSE’s in a week, and I don’t know how to feel at all personally. I hope that they don’t do the for GCSE’s, as that’s stupid. Stay strong beautiful x
I’m so glad you can understand where I’m coming from! But I really hope they don’t do the same for the GCSE students, but always remember that you can appeal! These aren’t your true results, they’re not a true reflection of what you’re capable of! Thank you for your comment :) Keep me updated! Xx
itsjxylxn Thankyou so much! And I will, don’t worry. I can’t believe it’s been so fast. It felt like days ago we was leaving year 11 and 13 and now it’s like the hell, where’s the time gone? xx
Molly Allen I know right?! Especially because it got cut so short due to the circumstances, I felt like my time was up too soon! X
itsjxylxn exactly, and same here :( it fell like it was for the best option tho as of COVID x
Molly Allen I definitely agree!! But we missed so much the least they can give us are the grades we deserve! X
I completely understand about feeling disappointed when you had worked for a higher grade and then it was downgraded. It’s so infuriating how many people across the country have been let down by this deeply flawed and unfair system. 😞 but I wish you all the best for the future xx
I can’t believe how many people who are going through the same thing, across the country, hopefully there’s enough upset for the government to do something! Thank you so much!! X
You’re allowed to be frustrated!! Well done for all your hard work, and good luck with the appeals process💓💓💓
Thank you so much!! I hope the appeals are smoother than this!💕
I got messed up by the system as well! I got downgraded both my A* to an A (vid on my channel) which meant I almost missed out on going to Cambridge!! Honestly thank god that they have now changed the way grades are assessed. So hopefully all you guys get the grades you need! But by far its been the most unfair situation I've gone through so far. Subbed for the journey ahead :)
The whole situation was so incredibly unfair but I'm so happy for you that they changed the grades just in time... I know that wasn't the case for quite a few students so I'm really pleased for you! I'll definitely check your video out now :)
Completely out of order! My daughter is due her GCSE grades on Thursday and she is so nervous after seeing what has happened to the majority or A level students. Please don't cry I really hope you are able to appeal and get the marks you deserve, you're obviously a bright young lady and I think its absolutely disgraceful that so many of you are having to go through this after all your hard work. x
I really really hope your daughter is pleased with her results - but unfortunately, based on the A-level results there’s no surprise she’s very anxious. I’m hoping there’s been enough backlash from the A-level results that the government will fix the mess they’ve made and approach the GCSE results differently. I have appealed but even our teachers don’t really know what that means or what’s going to come from it. Thank you so much for your comment! We all deserve the grades we would have had if we had sat the exams x
‘I passed media??’ 😂😂
Hannah Parker we were all surprised😂
😂
nobody:
your mum: gOD YOU SMELL GOOD
I feel your pain, the exact same thing happened to me. I was getting straight A’s and A*’s in that subject.
It’s so infuriating because it’s out of your control! Are you going to appeal? X
I was expecting an A* in phy after maintaining that grade throughout my levels and they downgraded me to C. Really, Cambridge played with everyone.
Ugh!! You should appeal! X
You did so well! Well done! I’m happy your appealing, get the grades you deserve
Thank you so much!!!
I had a similar issue, was predicted an ABB, the exam board then dropped me down to a CCE :(
Eva Donova that’s a huge difference what the hell!? Please say you appealed, you deserve so much more!!
I hope everyone got the results they needed/deserved. I'm hoping to start vlogging my uni journey
Awww dont worry so much x c, c, c is good. Guaranteed 100% it wont affect your future jobs etc as, employers dond tend to look at the GCSE grades.
Hope you feel better and Youll do amazing in college and that will matter so you can get into Uni or higher Ed.
Hope you feel better and it gets sorted, but dont feel too bad!! 😊
Henlo Poppy Thank you so much for your comment! I hope it gets sorted too x
your mum is v supportive !!!
This is exactly what happened to me! Was predicted A*A*A and my mock grades were AAA but I was given AAB...felt stupid for being upset over those grades but my biology was predicted A* and they gave me a B when it was my best subject and I worked so hard for it!
I can’t believe we are in the exact same position!!! I felt so silly too but tbh we have every right to be upset. Dropping two grades no matter what the person’s predicted was is insane, so don’t feel foolish for being upset! We deserved the grades we were predicted and we proved that we deserved them in our mocks! I hope you’ve appealed and your results change to what they should be x
i appeared for AS this year and my teachers sent in two A's but i ended up getting a B and a C. i was so shocked and disappointed because i worked extremely hard this time around and somehow managed to get straight A's in school. they downgraded so many hardworking and deserving students which is so wrong however those who performed lower in their mocks ended up getting excellent grades. how is the system fair?
Alienocorn That’s exactly what happened in my school, all the high achievers were unfairly downgraded and the lower achievers were upgraded. It makes no sense!!!! I’m so angry for you!! As long as you’ve appealed that’s all you can do now. I hope it gets fixed!
@@itsjxylxn ikr! it doesn't really make any sense. this is messed up. i hope they do something about it and fairly grade us students using the evidence we've provided them instead of blindly grading
I had pretty much the same experience. My teachers put me forward A* A* A in history art and eng but I got A* A B 💘
Wow we really did! How do you feel? X
itsjxylxn I was soo annoyed at English cuz I literally got an A in the mock as well and was predicted an A so I’m going to be appealing English and history fingers crossed ours go up 🤞🏻 xx
shellie seymour I feel the same way because I got an A in English in my mocks too!! I really hope they figure out what to do, keep me updated! X
itsjxylxn yeah for sure and you keep me updated too 😊 x
itsjxylxn inalso got an A in my English mock and coursework and got moved down to a B! X
off topic, but you're so pretty :)
Thank you so much! You’ve made my day :) x
@@itsjxylxn haha np! i started my channel yesterday, could you maybe check out my first video? tysm! ♥
I've just seen this comment! I'll look at your channel now :))
"God you smell good!"
i felt for you when you saw them and i’m so scared for next week
but-
i did notice that your mum sounds SO much like nanny plum from ben and holly (i have a one year old brother 😂)
I wish you the best!!! Oh my gosh I’ve just googled it😂
itsjxylxn thank youu. ahahah
i’m so sorry :( i hope you appeal and get the grades you deserve
Thank you so much!! Xx
you're not alone! not getting a grade expected sucks but dropping two grades its even worse esp when you dont expect it,,, for me it was media, got predicted A gettin As all year and got given a C so ofc my firm for journalism (quite media-esque) rejected me :/ anyway at least i have my insurance, its just so bad knowing you couldve done better😔👊 wishing you the best w the appeals process and everything!
Thank you so much - it makes me feel so much better knowing that we’re not alone in this! I can’t believe they’ve dropped people two grades... apparently it’s only 3% of people in the UK they did that to so lucky us🙄 If you were predicted A’s I’d definitely appeal, especially because your chosen University depends on it!
I feel so sorry for all A Level students! 🥺 I’m getting my GCSE grades on Thursday and I have no idea if the same thing will happen to us!😬
Thank you :( I wish you the absolute best and truly hope this doesn’t happen for you guys!
itsjxylxn Thankyou so much! Hope everything works out!💜
Got 2A* and 1B so we are both on the same boat. I have appealed but won’t really care if they don’t change it. Don’t be disheartened and move on in life.
Muhammad Shah I’ve appealed too, I do hope mine change but if not I’ll find a way to move forward :)
Over 280,000 students are protesting in England for the grades😭😭😭😩😩😩
As they should!!! X
I got
C for maths wanted a B
Distinction for ICT - happy
Merit for Business - Wanted a Distinction.
I wanted a B for maths only.
112 ucas points to study electrical engineering.
Anonymous Beast Are you going to appeal?
@@itsjxylxn . Yeah for maths. Thanks for asking 💯💯💯.
Good luck!!!
Hello !! I understand what you are going through , i really hope you appeal and get the grades you truthfully deserve if watch the show “this morning” there was a debate against the secutary of education and you can see in the video that he was being criticised harshly for this problematic system they have created !!!
I’m definitely going to check that video out! I’ve appealed but who knows what’s going happen now?! X
Old video ik but on results day they gave me BCC and after the U-turn and retaking History for the autumn exams, I’ve ended up with AAB and have a place to go to Durham Uni! :)
I’m so proud of you! Well done!! I’m so glad the government did a u-turn :)
@@itsjxylxn thank youuu!!
I’m glad I did a BTEC, they used the predicted grades from the start.
You’re so lucky! Honestly, it was the simplest option idk why they weren’t doing it from the beginning
Yeah it doesn’t really make any sense, not only that I got my results 2 weeks early - I think that is more of a mistake than anything else cause we were supposed to get ours same time as you. Then again loads of my mates still haven’t got their grades yet. The whole thing is just a bit of a cock up ahaha.
I got my AS grades that same year.
I was predicted 5A’s for AS
The government gave me 2A’s 2B’d and a C. The C being in the only subject I had actually got A’s in all year.
It was not a great year but after the change they did I got the 5A’s I worked for.
Glad to see it worked out for you in the end too.
Ahh that’s such a relief! I’m so happy you got what you deserved
Be grateful honestly look at me I GOT NO GCSES I’m still resitting I’m even 18 years old and I tried so hard oh well life is a struggle remember that
She is grateful tho, she’s just saying that because of how much hard work she’s put in that she deserves a lot better, finishing 3 a levels off can be hard enough, not getting the grades you deserved to have can be even more frustrating. I mean look at me, I find out my GCSEs In a week in which I want a 8 in Fine Art, which my art teacher said I will be getting an grade 8 and so did all of my other teachers for other teachers in my other subjects for other GCSEs said I should deserved to get a grade 8. x
I know but keep trying!! You’ll be okay and I need to remember that I’ll be okay too! X
Knocking you down 2 grades is diabolical. Appeal and people must complain not everyone has supportive parents like you. You also have your school support. Well done.
I know it’s ridiculous! I’ve appealed but I have no idea what’s going to come from it. Thank you though!!
I was downgraded too! Some people who were getting lower in mocks got the same final grade as me.. so some people were also upgraded??
It seemed to be that way, they seemed to have averaged students out by upgrading the lower achievers and downgrading the higher x
I uploaded my live reaction too - I was happy with my grades, but I think one of them got moved down.
Aside from the one potentially moved down, I’m so pleased you’re happy!!
i’ve never seen your videos before but i’m going to subscribe i feel so bad that you didn’t get the grades you worked for and deserved but hopefully the appeal works out how it should :(( x
I’m a very new channel so thank you so much for subscribing! Fingers crossed for the appealing process :(( x
That's outrageous that system was completely ridiculous I get my GCSE results this week and I feel so so so bad that that happened to you!
Thank you so much :( I wish you the best of luck for your GCSE results!! I don’t know if you’ve seen my recent video but the government have done a u-turn on the results and how they’re graded - they’re now teacher assessed so hopefully that means you guys won’t be screwed over by the stupid system they originally used!!!
@@itsjxylxn yeah thanks for the good luck! I know this sounds bad but im so glad that a levels went first because if that happened to me id be stressing at least this way I know its pretty accurate and deserved.
m8walsh don’t worry we went through the stress and tears for you!😂
@@itsjxylxn yeah sorry about that but thanks ahaha
Hey! Your voice is so relaxing and calming 😊
Aha thank you! 😊
Congratulations on your results and my condolences on the 'B'. 🤐
😂 thank you, the B🤭 was quite traumatising haha. But luckily everything got upgraded!
@@itsjxylxn That is great news, I wish you the best in future exams. 🎓
Jesus Christ I hope you get what you deserve 🥰! I’m predicted the same kinds of grades as you, and get my GCSE results on Thursday... I’m SO SCARED!! 😬 - also don’t feel stupid for being sad about a B- success is relative! If I got a B in English I’d be mortified too 😂 xx
I love that you completely understand where I was coming from with the English grade!!😂 I wish you the absolute best! I don’t know if you’ve seen my recent video but they’ve now said we can get our teacher assessed grades so hopefully the GCSE students won’t be downgraded like we were! X
itsjxylxn hopefully!! But I was in and out of hospital for all of y11... so I’m kinda shitting myself haha!! I hope they do the same with A levels!! x
Abi Pendleton the teachers would have taken that into account I’m sure! I feel that receiving our teacher assessed grades will be more personal to us and more realistic. Lucky for a level students they’re using our teacher assessed grades too! But keep me updated on how your results day goes x
itsjxylxn yes of course! Congrats on your grades btw! I’ll reply in this thread when I get mine 😬😬 xxx
itsjxylxn update: I got all the grades I needed (7,8,9s) - Thankyou for helping me not be so nervous on the run up!! 😘😘 xx
That’s Jacob’s luck for you
Summer Finley honestly, how can you miss a year of an A level and get a C, especially when the teachers put him down for an E😂
itsjxylxn I despise him 😂😩
this is such a let down for you. if you were predicted higher and given lower results then you deserve better💕well done anyway xx
Thank you so much! :(💕
omg i was on my period on results day too and it definitely made me crying like 10x worseeee
literallyyy, I had to cut most of my crying out omd😂
but i got downgraded in all my subjects and didn't get into my firm choice and its such a mess bc we just have to wait to see what the government do
I know, we have to put all of our faith into a system that doesn’t even look at us and our work as individuals. I wish they had just listened to our teachers!!! I know Northern Ireland are apparently using teacher assessed grades for GCSEs so I hope they do it here for the A level students and for those who are getting their results next week! X
@@itsjxylxn yes definitely ! :(

Don't worry any more as u just put out ur massive energy as much as u can things always not always goes in the way u predicted to be know this our soul is live in this planet for just a moment of time think about our greatest ever scientists ever to mentioned "" Albert " the father of physics did not even say" I know every thing and any think after all , even so he recognize our universe study wound not be stop because of the existence of dark matter ? , black hole would take the low of newton ,and all physics down ? it would be the existence of multi verse right next to our or ...? Just he know this "god" what ever who u are ,ur back ground is god has super power all time not A level , doctors , astronomy , rich , and ever thing so alleviate ur stress like u kick ball nearby u it is worth less ,my name is abel and am actually been living in Ethiopia since I came to this small world with happiness , somber, confusion ,and other so many even I expect to see and face them again for all I know like rapidly and abruptly as I believe that they are the part of my life not only me but also they are the part of well-being up until our soul vanish from . god god god live forever
I really feel you, I was predicted two A*s and two As and my two As got downgraded to 2 Bs, both my unis rejected me...hoping for appeal but if not I’ll have to reapply 😓 our school is totally pissed off as well. Hopefully we can all get through this and get the results we should have gotten!
I actually can’t believe Uni’s haven’t been more lenient like they claimed they would be. Personally, I don’t think they should reject students until after the appeal process - because otherwise people will settle for a Uni and then after appealing they may get the grades for the one they truly wanted! I really hope the appeal process works for us all and we all get our teacher assessed grades/the grades we deserve!! Wishing you the best X
Hello, I am a high school senior student. I have my SAT in 2 months, my APs in 4 months, CLEP in 5 months, board exams in 4 months and one subject test in 4 months. ( i gave one subject test and got 800, and 1400 in SAT but will give again.) My board is an indian board (CBSE). i was wondering, should i give AS and A level in 3 subjects in june? I am pretty sure I already know a lot of syllabus as it overlaps from other tests but I am still unsure and very confused. Do tell please.....
You should ask your teacher whether you’re already studying something equivalent to an AS or A level. If you’re already completing something similar to an AS or A level - there would be no point adding extra onto your already busy workload. But if you aren’t and you feel you already know a lot of the content and have the time and mental capacity, this may also be the best option for you to expand on your knowledge and grades.
@@itsjxylxn oh, that is super helpful! my freshman and sophomore year grades are pretty good, and i think ill do good on my senior exams too, but i really messed my junior exams. and gpa consists of all four. so can i give year 11 as level only and send them instead of my junior from national board? :-(
I’m not sure what the legal requirements are but I assume they’d ask for all of your exams that prove you can accomplish your overall grade, rather than you having the option to specifically just give them your Year 11 A/S level. Again, I’d check that with your teacher because our examination system will be different from yours. However, if you did well in your A/S in your year 11, I’m sure that will average your overall junior grade to be higher. Don’t worry!
@@itsjxylxn thank you, I will check with my councilor. i have a lot on my plate and am trying really hard to manage it all. i am studying for three boards currently. i hope things work out for me soon...
Hard work ALWAYS pays off. I know this must be incredibly hard at the moment but know I am so proud of you and your future self will be so proud of you and thankful for how much effort you’ve put it. I know it must be hugely overwhelming at the moment but don’t overwork yourself. Make sure you give yourself only a few tasks each day - you can’t do everything at once. I find that the more work I do, the more I forgot. So if you’re studying, make sure you break it down because if you’re studying too much at the same time it will all pile on top of each other! I wish you the absolute best, you sound incredibly hard working so I believe you’ll be okay :)
Hi, did you end up getting your A*A*A? I hope you did as it seemed well deserved. Also, I saw you did AQA a level sociology, I’m in year 12 and I’m doing the same. How did you find the best way to revise for it specifically? As I’m struggling to find what technique works best for sociology due to the intense amount of content and names to remember. If you could give any tips specified towards it then that would be greatly appreciated :)
Yes I did, thank you! My method of revising was very much around mind-maps for sociology. For example, with class ethnicity and gender, I would have a mind map on each of those. With gender in the middle, I would stem from that different categories within gender (with titles of said categories and the info underneath). Once I had written out the necessities (because I find my best way to revise is to write out the key info), I’d narrow it down further with a post it note. On the post it note, (that I stuck on top of the specific mindmap), I’d have key words or key sociologists relevant to gender, that would trigger a memory or the rest of the information. If ever I’d forget what a key word meant or what a sociologist said, it would also be highlighted on the mind map and I would be able to quickly read the info and test myself again via the post it. This helped because in my exam if there was a question on gender, I’d quickly write the small list of key words in the top right, that I remembered I had on my post it and as I was writing the essay, I would refer back to the keywords that would trigger my memory. Overtime I realised if I said ‘blank name’ ‘boys intelligence’ my brain would connect the sociologist with the key word and the rest would fall into place. I hope that all made sense, it’s hard not to show you my revision notes visually!
@@itsjxylxn I kind of get what you mean! If you’re okay with it, would you be able to send me some pictures of your mind maps and post it note so I can see how you set everything out? If so, my Instagram is @brodiehurl , no worries if not though! xx
I’ll definitely send over some photos when I find my notes and get them to you ASAP. I may actually make a CZcams video on it so I can go more in depth!
At least your teachers didn’t mess up, the teachers at my sixth form college tried to be ‘fair’ so lowered the majority of our grades by at least 1 from the grades we were getting so now I’m stuck with grades I’ve never got in two of those subjects. No hate but I’m kinda pissed your mate got a C in maths when he was predicted an E cause now he keeps the higher grade, yet I never got a C in my life in maths and was given a C because over 400 people in my college do maths so they lowered legit everyone’s grade by 1 or 2.
I can’t believe that!!! The way they mark you fairly is by giving you the grades you deserve. And don’t worry I was just as frustrated by him getting upgraded when he bloody skipped a YEAR of Maths! I can’t believe how badly the government messed it up originally and now we have to depend on teacher assessed grades when some teachers have ALSO marked students down. Are you still able to appeal your teacher grades?
itsjxylxn I’ve tried to send in appeals but my headteacher said he doesn’t know if there’s a process for appeals and none of the teachers are back from their holiday yet. I’m hoping it’s just been an error or something cause I got into a uni I wanted but it’s just looking at the grades compared to people from other schools I feel like mine are so unfair.
Charlotte Cameron I completely understand that, even though you’ve got into your Uni (well done by the way!!) I still think there’s a sense of injustice if you haven’t got the grades you deserve. When they’re back, I really hope you’re able to fix it!
itsjxylxn thank you, I hope everything works out for xx
I’m from the U.S so I do not understand this grading system 😂 I don’t know why it was on my recommended

hope things work out for you xx
Brocha xx thank you so much, I’ve actually posted a new video and thankfully the government have decided to give us our teacher assessed grades! Xx
Did you appeal? Did anything happen?
Yes I did appeal! With appealing it meant they gave me my teacher predicted grades rather than government calculated so my grades went up to what I expected!
@@itsjxylxn Boy, that is such a relief. Congrats! Did you get into your desired uni?

It’s insane!!
Hi new friend here have a nice day..
hi genuine question, as i’m not so sure how the a level system works. doesn’t the exam board base your grade on the final exam? so you may have been predicted a good grade but didn’t do well in the exam, so how does predicted grade and final grade matter if you didn’t do well in the final exam. sorry to be asking, i’m just curious
Hi, no worries for asking - because this was during Covid and lockdown, we weren’t able to do our final exams which meant our final grades were based on our predicted grades. Our predicted grades are decided by all of the work we’ve handed in and all of the mock exams or the end of terms exams we had done - the combination of all our work was put down to our final grades instead of a final exam because of Covid. I was upset because the government made an algorithm to decide what our grades could have been if we had had our final exam - but they didn’t reflect all the work we had done, that the teachers had been marking and examined. Luckily, after petitions and complaints from students, our grades were then officially changed to what our teachers had predicted our grades to be which reflected us as individuals so much better :) I hope that all makes sense - in quick summary, we didn’t have a final exam and this was my reaction to the governments algorithm before it changed to our predicted grades! X
@@itsjxylxn oh i am so glad that students called this issue out, you were completely valid with your feelings and i wish you the best of luck onwards!
Thank you so much!!
Literally was predicted the same as you and got the same results. I got into my firm uni though so don’t know if I should appeal. Did you get into the university you wanted to go to??
Well done for getting into your Uni!! I’m not going to University, I’m doing acting courses but I still wanted the results I felt I deserved and what my teachers predicted, especially because I may want to apply next year or in the future. Unfortunately, I know lots of people who didn’t get into their Unis :( Only appeal if you’re disappointed and felt you could do better in the actual exams. The worse an appeal is going to do is simply not change your grade, so it’s worth a shot if you were predicted higher x
This makes me so scared for Tuesday eek.
Noo don’t be! The government changed it to teacher predicted grades so I thankfully got the grades I was expecting - hopefully now they don’t make the same mistakes for you guys!
I know it’s changed now, but you shouldn’t feel stupid for feeling upset. I got downgraded on all of my subjects and was devastated
Thank you!! I felt stupid but realising how many people are in the same position made me feel so much better. I can’t believe how many people got downgraded! I just posted a new video talking about today’s news that the a-levels will now be our teacher assessed grades so I hope that makes you feel better!! X
really sorry this happened to you xx did u go to a state school x
Thank you! :( and yeah I went to a state school x
I felt so bad for u when u got that gradeXX
Thank you :( xx
“thank you for this video! Really enjoyed it! I’m sure you will like our video, too, about the alevels, how to get top grades and why so many people got A*s this year..
Thank you - I’ll check it out now!
your very beautiful
Thank you!! X
The algorithm is absolutely fucked
Well done for voting for Conservatives to everyone who did
Hopefully all these 18 year olds will use their votes wisely!
Wales (run by Labour) was the same story though, if not worse. 42% of grades (including one of mine) were downgraded. I'm not defending the UK government on this, just saying that it happened under governments run by different parties.

@@itsjxylxn sure was all my friends who meant get a 4 got 3s its just devestating after u work so hard
Did you not get your teacher assessed grades?
@@itsjxylxn supposdly not :( i thankfully passed but my friends got downgraded to 3s😑😢
Martine luna faye Whitear well done for passing!! But I can’t believe there’s still an issue with students being downgraded - they were supposed to fix it and I hope they do for your friends x
Yeah u did you spanner
I did what?😂
@@itsjxylxn 5.45 x
Becky Gamble ohhh I get it now thank you😂
@@itsjxylxn aha sorry I should have put it in quotes 😂 x
Hey! You absolutely did not deserve those grades, and I'm sure if you had done the real thing you would have done so well! Just to let you know, your school name is visible in the video! Just thought I'd tell you in case you didn't want it to be seen xx
Thank you so much!! Whoops I forgot about that, thank you for letting me know xx
@@itsjxylxn No problem!! x
Did your appeal work?
Yes it did - the government gave the option to change to teacher predicted grades or the ones they had created
I was predicted AAAB and they gave me BCCD
That’s a huge difference!!! I hope you’ve appealed
itsjxylxn I will but it’s not gonna make a difference cuz I’ve been rejected from medicine from both my firm and my insurance, have no clue what to do now
I can’t believe Universities have denied people BEFORE the appeal process. What if you end up getting the grades you need for the Uni?! It’s so stupid
itsjxylxn I feel so betrayed and when I called the UNI they said sorry but we can’t accept students who are appealing, but you can apply next year. That got me so angry, I feel like I was judged by my colleges past performance and not by my ability
Even tho my predicted grades was AAAB, I am a complete Nerd as in 90% of A levels was spent in the library and I was confident I was going to get A*A*AA. So when I saw BCCD I almost fainted🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️and your friend went from an E to a C in maths, I went from an A to C in maths. And maths was my strongest subject
I also made a video because I dropped 2 grades. Well done tho xx
Thank you :) I just watched your video! I hope your appeal goes through xx
itsjxylxn thank you. You too xx
Just subscribed to you xx
Tbh A levels were easy
Mr skips Maths for a year and gets a C
Hey I have just found your channel and I love your content do you wanna suppourt each other? Also I feel so bad about you didn’t do the exam. Congrats tho x
Thank you! And yeah we definitely should, I’ll subscribe :) x
itsjxylxn thank you I have already subscribed xx
B is not that deep if you still got into uni
I’m not applying to Uni I need the grades in the future. Success is relative and when you’re achieving A* in a certain subject and they downgrade you by two whole grades it’s going to hurt you no matter what your original grade was e.g working at a B and then getting a D x
Just because she got in or could have gotten in doesn’t change her disappointment. SHe dropped 2 grades! She’s aloud to be upset
You took very easy a levels lol.
they’re really difficult if you tried taking them lol
@@itsjxylxn I did take them back in 2016. Except I took Geography not English Language. I wish I took something slightly more challenging, sociology and media were piss easy. Eng Lit was a harder a level but you were allowed the book with my exam board so it was fine.
Ah I took English Lit and Lang, maybe the course has become harder because there was a lot of information and theorists to learn for both Sociology and Media.
@@itsjxylxn yeah possibly.
A levels have been reformed since 2016, they’re harder now :/ I was predicted AAA and got ABB on results day.. I was devastated
