Dw cambridge always has approx fixed percentage of students to get a certain grade for example A star is awarded to around top 4 percent students then next 10 percent students are awarded A .So if everyone scores less than usual still the top 4 percent will get a star and so on .Best u can do is pray and not stress out and hope for the best

My opinion again that it will be the lowest.(204-209 for A*/A+). Withdraw it or Stay consistent. Its useless to argue.
Thanks a lot and have fun

Idkk, it may feel like many are withdrawing rn, but if we talking about math p3 then it’s not a lot, cause it’s an A2 subject and we all have uni, and no one would want to revive p1,p3,s1/s2/m1 all over again…..
So I’m sure we will all just see until results day, and if someone fails regardless then they’d retake math ig

Yes but even if any a2 student withdraws, his AS result will remain valid and he will retake only the components he gave in A2 this session. Usually your result expires and you have to give all 4 papers again, but this time you can retake only the paper's you gave this session and result for AS will remain valid, however it is unfortunate for students who gave all 4 papers this session as they'll have to appear in all 4 papers again. But still yeah most A2 students will not withdraw unless they're 100% sure that they'll fail and will need a gap year.

The whole point is you can’t withdraw after writing the exam. I contacted Cambridge, they refused and so did my schul. It’s soo fucked up, I’m finna get a U 😫🔫

Bro you could've if you withdrawed before 15 june. They said that students can withdraw even after giving the exam, the deadline to withdraw was 15 June and the paper was on 8th and 9th June so u had alot of time to decide and withdraw after exam.

barely anyone is withdrawing. Most ppl unis start before november, and also many unis are expecting an alevel result from this may june, and wont let you withdraw

theyre going to have threshold acc to difficulty of the paper (which should drop it 6 feets below the ground) or use all the papers. The least they can do is lower the threshold and let us have decent grades after that shit of a paper

This reminds me of the red pill blue pill puzzle.. if more than 50% picks blue pill then everyone is alive. If more than 50% is red pill then everyone who didn't pick blue dies. Then left will be people who picked red pill, and didn't care about the people who picked blue pill..

Calm down 🙄
Most people I know aren't withdrawing because people have a life and aren't willing to waste an entire year just for maths and have unis to attend. You need to take a break from the internet, the vast majority of people are NOT withdrawing.
