No “mini exams” for A Level, simply should be assessed through online learning
Government to scrap this idea of “mini exams” and A Level students predicted grades through online learning and all the work they have done. Us as students are having to deal with COVID and the stress within itself but also the uncertainty of how we’re going to be graded.
We are not prepared and can’t take any sort of examination during this period as it’s a lot to take in at this stage. The government have announced there’s no exams yet now theres news on whether there might be “mini exams” which is draining all of us out. Our mental health isn’t stable enough and some students struggle with online learning so how can they be assessed simply just on what they have learnt in online lessons and perform well in these “mini exams”.
