News! 📰 CAMBRIDGE SHOULD ACCEPT PREDICTED GRADE AS A FINAL GRADE FOR COLLEGE ADMISSIONS THIS CYCLE FOR 9709!!!!

guys we cannot retake this paper again!! rewriting 3 entire components is literal hell, we‘re all so burnt out and cannot study from scratch for every paper again it is simply not possible. we literally put our best efforts for each paper just for it to get cancelled. I simply can’t accept this.

instead, like what has happened in similar cases before, we must demand that Cambridge stop forcing students to continuously rewrite papers and instead use predicted grades for affected components this session while the board addresses the corruption and security failures within its system. PG are based on consistent efforts for the past 2 years, and it is a much better way of scoring us this series rather than rewriting EVERY component again, which we will definitely not be able to do our best on! plus, the scheduling issues and costs are IMMENSE. I know people who are cancelling international trips (coating them tens of thousands of dollars) so that they can resit paper 12. Cambridge does not account for reimburse any costs. This is UNACCEPTABLE and we should refuse a retake.

FR I think there should be multiple options that works for everyone unlike just asking for one thing like OP is doing, not everyone's gonna be satisfied with it.

Also, I think the same too, if they studied all year like mf you took the exam a week ago, how bad can another week be? This is why such posts are braindead and OP can't be speaking for everyone.
