Have you had your A Levels results downgraded?

Homenews

Last Thursday, hundreds of thousands of A Level students across the UK found out their final grades and whether they'd made it into university for the upcoming year. While it's never a day that goes completely swimmingly for 100% of students, this year's was a bigger shitshow than most. Around 40% of students had their grades downgraded after the governing body Ofqual used an algorithm to adjust grades based on a school's previous performance. In England alone, over 250,000 grades were adjusted down from the teacher's prediction, leaving many with missed university places and no easy way to appeal. Are you one of the hundreds of thousands affected by this year's exam shambles? We want to hear from you. Take our survey below.
