'I did good': students react to A-level and BTec results in England

Sixth-formers in England have surpassed previous pre-pandemic highs in the proportion of A* and A grades awarded, thanks in part to strong performances in maths and sciences.

Alongside A-levels more than 250,000 vocational and technical qualifications were awarded, with more than 22,000 top grades awarded in England, according to Ofqual. More than 7,000 students in England were awarded T-levels, with nearly 89% gaining a pass or better in the new technical qualification

I would have hoped an A level student would have said "I did well"

[AutopsyAbuse]

Just wait until you search for a job and then you realise…

A. Everyone has the same qualifications as you…

B. You have no prior experience so you can’t get the job anyway.

Well done!

[Bouncer_RF]

Imagine doing A levels and not even knowing how to properly speak English. The state of this country…

Go to school, get a job, pay your taxes own nothing.
For the kids that didn't do so well on grades learn financials and acquire assets.

"My most proudest moment" You would not have been doing A Levels and spoken like that when I was young, You would have been corrected during your O'levels

How did that one guy get into Oxford with a B? Thought there used to be 2A* 1A minimum requirement...

[europeanunion]

Well, that proves that A-level proves nothing 😂.

Fully indoctrinated! Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉😢

Wait until the realization emerges where they are like: "Wait... I had to do an internship & needed experience before I could do anything with these grades?" 💀

[PanglossDr]

I should hope they said 'I did well' if they are English speakers?

[mchaplin]

exams are now dumbed down so low even rayner would pass one now

[rockyzenright]

Why should we even be proud of these grades?

[williamsmith-obkv]

Let's be honest, you're gonna end up in an insurance call centre and not what you studied for

[bdharsha]

i can't see any real british people 😂

[TheWishDragon]

What was the score in English Language and English Literature? 🤦
"I did well."

[BendyLemmy]

Wow, nobody speaks English properly any more…

[BritishJuche]

Are there any English kids left in our schools?

[bb]

This is like a slap in the face to me, when i was in school not only was it a poor standard of education but things seemed to change a lot that would disrupt things (as in curriculum types of tests etc)

[alyshiadom]

Congratulations! All were successful in studying my toes 🐥

Boost the grades to get unis filled as they were all complaining they were going to bankrupt.
