Well my mum was watching the news and told me that the government might not open schools for two years?

That is almost entirely unfounded at this stage I think!

What's gonna happen with gap year students doing A-Levels? Some of them don't even have predicted grades, and there's no way they would use their in-course assessment from 2 years back from secondary school...

They didn't even mention the private students with no teachers, what's happening with them?

my thoughts exactly - I'm homeschooled and was meant to sit my exams this year and it seems as though the government isn't giving us any thought. Boris said no young person will be left out and it seems as though us private candidates are and honestly it's kinda scary because I have no idea what I'm going to do now. Making me wait until Autumn while those in school get a grade then have a choice to sit it again in the Autumn isn't exactly fair. What about the home-ed students that need these grades for summer?

I feel like that is WAAAYYY too long - definitely don't see schools closing for 2 years.. maybe 6/7 months at the most?

Tough for the kids who were revising hard for exams to try do better than their predicted grades - I certainly "overachieved" in my exams a few years ago and this obviously can't be accounted for in this situation.

Unlucky guys.

Yeah, it's not great. But it's decent. What else can they do? There's even an option to sit the exams later if they're not happy with the grade.

LOL do you realise how many people aren't happy at this stage?

doesnt really seem fair, rich kids will get better grades than their poorer counterparts.Some unit tests are harder in some schools than others therefoire it would be stupid to compare them.

If that's how they will award grades then I think many can say out loud - I am doomed.

Will GCSE's be taken into account for A-Levels or more likely AS Levels?

I should hope so - I will be driven to insanity if they actually confirm it though.

Can we choose which results we can retake or would we have to retake them all?

Will they be awarding us a special measure for the disruption?

This is what I wanted then to do so it's good to see them doing it. Those that have worked hard across the whole 2 years will be happy whilst those that were working to improve in the final exams still have that chance.
