When I was 16 and at sixth form, I was required to re-take my GCSE Maths, because I failed it with a 3 in high school. Although, I was hoping NOT to fail, especially considering I was doing Foundation Tier Maths, it was very much expected indeed, and I re-took my GCSE Maths in sixth form, but in the Higher Tier, with the Edexcel exam board in Autumn 2019.

For some weird and ungodly reason, I passed, even though I was certain that I failed again, considering I had failed the mock and I had no previous experience of Higher Tier Maths before. Anyways, although I got my results on a piece of paper, certifying I passed, as well as an email from my Maths teacher congratulating me for pass. However, I never received an official certificate certifying that I qualified at all, considering it's been about 7 years since passing, I doubt my college still has the original certificate.

When picking up my A Level certificates, I boldly assumed that my GCSE Maths certificate would be there, but they weren't...... Do I contact the exam board or not?

Honestly, it was probably the most unnecessary sequel of all time. None of the characters in the movie was like themselves at all. I think the only part I liked was when Zoey was looking back at old pictures of them all together on her phone from the old Zoey 101 days. That's it.

Honestly, my favourite couple was Vince Blake and Lola Martinez. Honestly, Vince being introduced in season 3, episode 5, gave him an advantage over James Garrett, because the audience was already familiar with his character and he had a whole storyline centred around him in season 3 and 4, with him being introduced as a bully and him coming back as "a new man, who has changed."

James and Zoey had the worst chemistry and although he was introduced a lot more later than Vince. Vince and Lola's chemistry was undeniable, I always found Vince to be good looking when I was younger too.

I will say that the way Zoey treated Logan enraged me. She didn't give the dude a break and was always on his case and always involves herself in things that don't involve her. I understand the voicemail that Logan sent Dustin was wrong, but I will say those scenes with Logan in those anger management classes were funny, especially when Katie chucks a cantelope at the teacher's head or the ending where Logan asks to borrow a pen and Katie replies with "Stop hassling me."

● So, I'm 23f and I have completed GCSES, A Levels and a degree. I graduated in BA Sociology and Criminology in 2024 and I also happen to be a student with cerebral palsy, but I also have an intellectual disability. So, people may be wondering how did a woman with an ID get into university? Well it started like this......

● When I was in primary school, I was making virtually no progress at all. I was awfully quiet, everytime I would receive any homework, it would stay in my bookbag and often left untouched.

Academically speaking, I was very much behind my peers, my school and teaching assistants tried everything...... specialised one-to-one sessions, specialist digital programmes, I was even in a mainstream classroom with my peers too, but I was not improving, not even in the slightest that I essentially failed by 11+ SATS.

● By the time I reached high school, I still wasn't making any progress either, but once GCSE season came around, I ended up getting 6, 5, 5, 4-4, 4, 4, 3. The 3 was in Foundation Maths, a subject I had to re-take in sixth form.

● I had found out I was 1 mark off a 6 in RE, where one question that appeared on this paper wasn't taught, which was an automatic loss of 12 marks, 1 mark off a 5 in History, where two questions appeared on this paper and weren't taught in class, so it was an automatic loss of 16 marks.

● In my GCSE Drama exams, I forgot to write a bunch of question numbers down (they will not mark your paper without it, something which was unbeknownst to me, at the time). In fact, I didn't know I even did that at all in the first place, until results day. However, RE, History and Drama are the only subjects I am allowed to give grace to. I failed my acting due to my CP, but I still got a 7 in coursework, so I ended up getting a 4, in the end, because I got a 2 in the exam, but like I said before, questions numbers were not written down.

● I ignored a lot of key prospects such as themes, characters, contextual knowledge and characters of English Lit, hence the grade 4.

● In essence, I didn't revise properly at all for GCSES, which can explain my piss poor grades. I think what made matters worse is that I also was entitled to extra time and without it, I probably would have failed all my GCSES.

● I went to a prestigious sixth form for high achievers, I was basically a DEI student, but only a small group of people knew this, which included the disability dept and admissions dept.They did not know I had an intellectual disability, but it was not like I was hiding my piss poor GCSE grades. They allowed me to do A Levels for some reason????

● There was no way I was going to pass A Levels, but the pandemic and a suicide attempt happened, in which they 2021 TAG grades based on work I had already completed. These grades were C, C, C and I knew I did not deserve these grsdes, but was given them anyway.

● After A Levels, I went on to university, where I studied BA Criminology and Sociology, I achieved a 2:1, but the vast majority of my assignments were uncompleted, I also did really badly in 1st and 2nd Year, where I got lots of thirds, a fail, and a partial fail in a unit too. I kept pivoting away from the actual study material and my work was riddled with basic SPaG mistakes. I also miused my student finance and it probably would have prevented this.

● I shouldn't have been allowed to go to uni or college. The guilt eats me up everyday and the only way forward for me is revoking my qualifications.
