I think the exam results are out in the next few days.

There are a number of articles in different papers about record numbers of students dropping out of university.

This is the (COVID) group that were awarded A levels based on their teachers expectations rather than exam results.

At the time someone on here predicted that if they were too generous these kids would struggle at University and probably drop out with a load of student debt, it appears to be the case.

I am half expecting there will be a class action lawsuit against the education department by these students, "your teacher made me go to Oxbridge when actually I was a thickie. "

Lets hope some commonsense comes back into the marking.

My Son gets his A Level results on Thursday - he has a provisional place at Uni subject to getting the right grades / appropriate number of UCAS points.

I know he has worked hard over the last couple of years & I do want to see him duly rewarded - At the moment for us its fingers crossed & hopefully everything goes OK.

Thanks Teddy -
He has a provisional place offer at the University of Law up in London - he seems fairly confident he will get the UCAS points required, I hope for his sake it works out OK.

Will let you know come Thursday.

Thanks Teddy & Cryst - Just picked up the results for my Son,

His 2 - A levels = "B" & one BTEC = "Distinction" so that is a total of 128 UCAS points, he needed 120 to go to his first choice Uni -

So relieved at this end (Proud Dad moment) - going to be a small celebration.

Hope others have similar outcomes.
