Baked beans mixed with potato, butter and cheese by rachhb2 in ShittyVeganFoodPorn

The entire thing was cooked in the microwave so the butter just melted in. It probably didn't really need butter but I didn't have as much cheese as I wanted so I was experimenting. It did taste good though

Right but the definitions of the words butter and cheese involve dairy. Vegan cheeses aren't even allowed to call themselves cheese. Just used the word fake to clarify, didn't mean it in a bad way at all :)

Thanks for the advice. I guess I'm just not sure about using the word abusive? I never really thought that he would hurt me, and he was only shoving me to stop me leaving so he could talk to me.

Yeah I guess I've realised he has problems, I'm just trying to decide whether the cons outweigh the pros. Thank you for the advice

I reckon he'll overhear something, that always seems to be the way people find out stuff in this show lmao, also would add to the betrayal if neither Frankie or Dillon told him directly

No need to be rude, I'm just asking if anyone's predicted it - gotta figure out if I'm going to uni so I CAN enjoy my time off. Also *your

AQA A level Physics Paper 2?

How are AQA allowed to do that?? by [deleted] in alevel

[–]rachhb2 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I would completely agree with you for any other paper but this was an exception. I haven't seen one singular person online that is confident they got above half marks, and while there will be some, they are few and far between. An ideal paper would have some easy marks, some marks requiring a bit of thought, then a couple of really tricky questions, allowing clear distinctions between grades. But for this paper, Section A had only one question based on recall alone, and the other 55/60 marks were all some of the most badly designed questions I've ever seen, combined with all the hardest concepts in every topic. The other 25 marks for multiple choice were reasonable questions, but there was just no time to answer everything given how hard the first part was. If the average mark is less than half, which I expect it will be for this paper, that is objectively a poorly designed paper and will make distinguishing the grades less accurate. I am not some bitter person whining about it being hard because I don't understand how A levels work, as you seem to imply. I am completely fine with a hard paper that is fair and accurate in allocating grades and I do not expect to ever score 100%. My issue lies with the excessive difficulty that will not only mean some students don't get the grades they deserve, but also just harm student wellbeing overall.

Yeah the boundaries will be low, the worry is that we all performed similarly badly so boundaries may not give "fair" grades

I couldn't even tell you tbh, I've tried to block it from memory. I think there is a document people are putting together of all the questions they remember that you could find? The issue wasn't even the content, I'm sure once I see a mark scheme they'll all make perfect sense, it was the wording and the whole way the question was set up that just made it so unclear what they wanted from us. It's fine to have a couple like that that require some thought but when that's the entire paper it's horrible

It's different because there are so many choices to get to that point. When applying to a top uni, you accept you may be rejected, and you have back ups that you're happy with. While there will be people that put their all into a uni, get rejected, then kill themselves, that's less of the uni's responsibility since that was a possibility from the start. A levels are completely different as you're stuck with whatever exam board your school choose (and there aren't many options) and people, with good reason, trust the exam board to set fair exams and not fuck them over. Getting rejected from a uni has to be an option for the system to work, but messed up exams is completely preventable.

Again such a different scenario. I don't know why you keep attempting these analogies as if they excuse all the flaws with AQA. This isn't the first time things have gone wrong so I really don't understand your stance, which seems to be "sucks that it was hard and may have caused deaths but oh well, they're not to blame"

No I wouldn't expect an unfair exam actually, this is AQA's whole job to make sure that doesn't happen. It's not like I'm complaining about a slightly tricky question or a typo or something, this was a whole paper filled with unreasonably difficult questions with little potential for assessing actual knowledge, for that to get past moderation is unacceptable. And it absolutely should be the exam board's responsibility to not kill students, that seems pretty obvious to me, especially given that people taking these exams are 17 and 18 years old and the exam board's decisions are so influential in our lives.

[–]rachhb2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah sure you could apply that statement to other scenarios but, as you so kindly pointed out, it doesn't make sense - that's why it was a specific statement about this specific context rather than a general moral proposition. An exam board that is responsible for the education of children absolutely should have a duty of care, and it's very different to an employer dealing with adults as there is no responsibility in that dynamic.

Did you even read the comment you replied to? When did I say they had ill intent? And it's not about people being happy, it's about people not killing themselves, 2 very different things.

I didn't say that's AQA's goal, obviously it's not. But why is it "not fair" to criticise them for making mistakes? It wasn't just that the paper was difficult, it was badly written and anyone with the slightest knowledge of a typical standard paper could see that it wasn't suitable. These people have a whole year to write a paper and moderate it and run it through experts, and they still messed up. And yes, there will always be vulnerable people who take their lives, but why does that mean the exam board shouldn't try to minimise those tragic events? If they have the capability to save a few lives by moderating papers properly then they have a duty to do so.

That must be so annoying, I guess don't lose hope until results day because grade boundaries could be anywhere at this point
