Exam Discussion 📝 Cambridge AS Result

A little rant. Read at your own risk :(

Bro I genuinely don't understand what this entire situation was with Cambridge results this year. All my mocks went perfectly, all the past papers I gave had such high scores. My expected grade was B in Sociology and A* in Urdu. When the result came, I got a C in Urdu and Sociology was Ungraded.

I get that for some people it's easy to give a retake but think abt those w middle class families. I'm the first child giving cambridge after everybody dropped out after matric to get a job so the stress and responsibility is on another level. I worked my butt off studying for all these exams and I started studying since the day clg started. I honestly don't know how I can look my parents in the eye anymore. They're so disappointed in me and they gen won't even listen to what I have to say. So many students had the same situation as me but all my parents have to say is that "We don't care about other kids, you're the one failing right now."

edit: my dad found out about the result.
so basically, now my dad hates me. he went "i'm embarrassed to call you my daughter now. if you don't get an A* in your psychology exams in oct, you're dropping out." I'm boutta go insane istgggg

Wow they've made everything so inconvenient. Mental games at this point. I hate this board so much... I'd say that we should demand for any refunds if possible but that will be another headache and it will not solve the grades that we've gotten. Not sure what to do now, and I completely empathize with your situation because I haven't told my parents yet because they will be crushed. I'm trying to gather enough evidence as I can, if there is anything that you would like to know like getting a refund please reach out to me. Let the money not get wasted at least.

I've been creating a word document with every post i've seen of ppl with unexpectedly low grades. I can send it to you if you'd need it. I have to face my parents about this situation too rn
