what happens if you miss an exam? how do special considerations work? | GCSEs and A-Levels 2022

I want to help you achieve the grades you (and I) know you are capable of; these grades are the stepping stone to your future. Even if you don't want to study science or maths further, the grades you get now will open doors in the future.

Just for this exam period I’ve made new versions of this video based on the advanced info; Here is the list of whole topic videos modified based on the advanced information

AQA - Separate Science - Higher

AQA - Combined Science - Higher

AQA - Combined Science - Foundation

Is no one gonna talk about her friend getting run over by a bus😭

Thanks for the reassurance. I am a little concerned because people could have covid in the exam hall, but the tables are 1.25m apart anyway because of exam board rules so there should be some element of social distancing.

So if you think you did really well in paper 1 and paper 2 (e.g. for A level bio) you could just pretend to have covid symptoms for paper 3 if you don't think you will do aswell in it because you struggle with the essay and it would bring your grade down? Not gonna do this just hypothetical lol

Would you be able to apply for special consideration for chronic pain that doesn't have a known cause?

been like 5 years since i sat my gcses and was directed towards this channel which was great but I find myself coming back just to see how everyone is getting on XD

Hi, ,has your predicted papers ever worked ?im considering getting them if they have worked before

[gamingchronicles]

Hello, what would happen in this situation. Paper 1 and 2 account for 80% of course and coursework accounts for 20% . What would happen if paper 1 was sat and coursework had already been marked but you miss paper 2 cause of covid. Will they base your paper 2 on paper 1 alone or would they take the coursework into account as well.

Hey there
Since the start of my gcse I’ve been having severe migraine pains and concentrating on my exams and in one of the papers I collapsed and was sent to the hospital
The doctors and teachers thought i am having headaches because of exam stress so I was only given special consideration in one of the papers
Now 2 months later I am still having migraines so I got my blood test done were two of my liver functions were high and im having a high blood pressure where it touches 165
I’m really stressed about this bcs this is not fair on me bcs the school thought it was stress but there’s something else wrong with me I am about to meet a neurologist.

Can you pls help me.

Is falling ill but not with COVID a good enough reason to be able to apply for special consideration?

Are you going to make one predicted paper for Edexcel A Biology Alevel?

[MK..]

How do i tell the extenuating circumstances marks for GCSEs have been applied?

It doesn't say on statement of results

[lovead]

Ma'am I need your urgent help, I attended and wrote down all answers for all of my A2 level exam papers. I had chem, phy and maths. I got the results of my chemistry and physics but in mathematics, they gave me a 'no result' I asked around and looked at the official page, apparently it is given when a person withdraws from the sub or was absent in one or more units under it. I'm lost now what should I do on this case, We understood that the paper/ papers were missed or lost by British council. What should I do now?? Please help, I can't appear for all 4 mathematics unit within 2months
