For many students, results day will be about the joy of getting the grades they deserve and hoped for, or at least those they need for progression. Now that the summer 2022 exams are over, what can we expect from the results in August and what do we know about how exams will be graded?
This year saw the return to exams after two years of centre assessment which resulted in a big increase in the proportion of higher grades. This year’s assessment arrangements and grading systems were designed to produce a transitional year based on a ‘midpoint’ somewhere between 2019 and 2021, with a view to returning to something more like 2019 by next year.
