So, what is the likelihood of in-person exams taking place?

The DfE and Ofqual are working on ‘contingency plans’. They are, however, confident students will be able to sit their exams safely. Nevertheless, due to extreme uncertainty around COVID, there is a slight chance of further disruption and the adoption of Teacher Assessed grades for the 21/22 academic year.

It is important to remain calm and not stress too much - as this can have a negative impact on your exam performance. So, get in contact with us today if you’re interested in boosting your grade and achieving academic success.
