Next years A level students are expected to sit A levels without actually having sat an exam for 2 years . They have missed GCSE exams , AS exams and are being expected to sit the most important exams of their lives never having sat an exam since year 10. They have been schooled online for over a year , had no practical work , not even seen their classmates or teachers online ! They are not equipped or ready to take on this huge challenge. They should not be expected to sit these exams as if nothing has changed
