gollark: <@319753218592866315> Why do you want the list?
gollark: They're apparently going to base it on stuff like möck exam results, how well your school did last years, coursework, other work, and what teachers said.
gollark: I should receive my guesstimated™ grades on 20 August 02020, Common Era.
gollark: Interestingly enough, here in the UK™, COVID-19 means general GCSE exams were cancelled, but they still want to give everyone grades without having to have summer/aütumn exæms, so they're basically just going to be guessing the grade you might have gotten.
gollark: And how well everyone else did, and stuff like the total marks on the exam.
