It’s hardly news at this point to say that we’ll see lower grades this year compared to last year.
Most people reading this post will be painfully familiar with why this is, but here’s a quick recap for anyone who is not aware. In both 2020 and 2021, public exams were cancelled due to the pandemic, and different systems of grading, known as Centre Assessed Grades (CAGs) and Teacher Assessed Grades (TAGs), were temporarily used. This resulted in higher grades being awarded than in typical years.
Last year, grades were adjusted to a point within the 2019 to 2021 range.
To see what that looks like, here are the grades across all subjects from 2018-2022.
