For you personally, how has lockdown been affecting exam season?

Title speaks for itself.
Curious about how you're all getting on, and whether lockdown has made a difference to how you're finding it all (either in a positive or negative way). Obviously not everyone does exams, so anything graded that you've been working on counts as well!

All behaviour is a need trying to be met.
The truth resists simplicity.

In Dance, the teachers are waiting to hear from the exam board about if any changes are being made such as only needing to do 1 set phrase for the exam rather than 2 set phrases (my school do Shift and Breathe) which is what is happening for the current year 11 students.

They've noted much of the year has done a lot worse than expected if not one of the worse overall year performances they've ever had. Maybe this might just be my school, but i have heard from others that they've been seeing the same trends.
As for revision like lots of people on this thread i found revision so hard, being able to focus. Knowing parts of the content i really didn't fully understand due to either being taught entire topics online or just lack of exam skills which are usually taught in person ( especially since i do all essay subjects). But it's totally understandable that in person lessons we are used to don't translate well to online. I mean from the age of 5 I've been taught in one specific way by all my teachers in a relatively similar environment, any change from that is going to cause significant changes in performance and understanding.
