#exams2020 can someone advise if I am supposed to register for A Level resit by 5 Feb to stand any chance of getting a new grade even though no official exams will take place and even though I am not linked to a school for a teacher assessed grade?

What’s this latest statement fromOfqual re allocation of grades if students are sick or have a valid reason and have sat 25% of exams? Seems very odd. Everyone can say they felt unwell?? #CAGsappeal

What happens if someone in your family has to isolate and another member is sitting Oct exams? @ofqual @GavinWilliamson #CAGsappeal

Will Oct exams go ahead if there is a lockdown as is being discussed? #CAGsappeal @ofqual @GavinWilliamson @ASCL_UK @BorisJohnson Far too much going on to focus on exams.

My daughter was rewriting her UCAS statement and had to include a line for her “gap year” - “improving my undercagged A Level grades” - how sad is that? No travel plans or work, simply get a grade I deserve. #CAGsappeal @ucas_online @GavinWilliamson @ASCL_UK

Can I just ask if we have to pay again for BMAT and why it’s now almost twice the price? This is not our fault - it’s your mess and you should sort it! #CAGsappeal #HonourTheOffer @ASCL_UK @tes @GavinWilliamson @ofqual @BorisJohnson @StarmerKier @RishiSunak

It’s beyond belief that Swan, the Silver haired man and @GavinWilliamson all still have a job - how is that even possible? #CAGsappeal @RishiSunak can you outline the package for these kids who are now forced to stay home? #HonourTheOffer @BorisJohnson @ASCL_UK

44% teachers report that students are 3-4 months behind on studies and the £1bn funding won’t be enough to help kids catch up. What happened to that gap when our kids need to sit within 6 weeks? #HonourTheOffer #CAGsappeal @ASCL_UK @tes @VictoriaLIVE @BBCTwo @BBCNews
Totally defeated. I have tried my best but feel I have failed my child as despite all my efforts it was not enough to get her the grades she deserved. Many benefited with U turn but only those that lost out can feel the pain. #HonourTheOffer #CAGsappeal @ASCL_UK @tes @ofqual

How are the Oct exams fair as some kids will sit one whilst others sit 2 or 3? Those sitting just one will push the grade boundaries high as they have had 6 weeks to focus on one subject vs 3. #HonourTheOffer #CAGSAppeal @ofqual @ASCL_UK @GavinWilliamson Fix this pls now.

Where are all the teachers and Heads that signed off these grades? Shame on you all - all of you. Absolutely disgraceful. #HonourTheOffer #CAGsappeal @tes @GavinWilliamson @BorisJohnson @SchoolsWeek @ofqual @LBC @educationgovuk

Fair?? Kids with tutors had access to 2019 papers which were mocks in many cases and so many allowed to do mocks at home - wish I had told my child to cheat. #HonourTheOffer #CAGsappeal @BorisJohnson @GavinWilliamson @SkyNews @ofqual @tes @DSimmonds_RNP @StGeorgesUni @ucl
I am so tired of this - seriously stressed and feeling locked in a dead end situation, despite our battle the Oct exams are still going ahead - Are you all asleep or genuinely don’t care?@GavinWilliamson @BorisJohnson @DSimmonds_RNP @Kier_Starmer #HonourTheOffer #CAGsappeal

So now we have been told the Oct exams can’t be taken in the school but will have to take place in a church hall and we have to pay again for the BMAT #HonourTheOffer @GavinWilliamson @BorisJohnson @Kier_Starmer @BBCNews @ofqual @tesfenews @ucas_online this just gets better....
Whilst this goes on, exams are 5 weeks away @GavinWilliamson at least put a stop to these, impossible to focus under the circumstances let alone retake BMAT and reapply to unis by 15 Oct. #HonourTheOffer @Ofqual @BorisJohnson @educationgovuk @BBCNews @ucas_online @Keir_Starmer

Unis like UCL Imperial Birmingham Manchester St George’s have got it all wrong as well as BMAT and UCAT and a year of interviews - I passed both got offers from all but lost everything due to CAG. How can this be? Give me my UCAS #HonourTheOffer @GavinWilliamson @Kier_Starmer

Hi I am an FBU member and ask if you could raise the profile of this as it appears to be getting lost and there is no right of appeal. #HonourTheOffer #CAGsappeal @fbunational @SurreyFBU @MattWrack
If schools havent got the capacity to deal with fare appeals, use UCAS predictions you have students trying to sit for A levels in 6 weeks after 6 months out of school not having completed the syllabus. Think of their mental wellbeing.@billwatkin @CrispinBlunt #HonourTheOffer

I can’t believe we are still having to fight when we are so close to October exams. Please someone, anyone, make this issue go away and give medical students their UCAS. @ofqual @GavinWilliamson @educationgovuk @BorisJohnson @educationgovuk @SkyNews @BBCNews @NickFerrariLBC
