CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY LAW EXAM RESULTS REACTION

[@ElenaHandtrack]

Thank you for clicking on this video! Here are the time stamps: 00:17 UK Grading System 01:09 Results Reaction 06:52 Average of my Grades 07:17 Why I’m not happy with these grades

[@evilchemi]

It is only Part 1B. It is far more important at this stage to avoid the 2:2 and 3rd. I was in roughly the same position as you are before going into Part 2 and it ended up working out fine. You have laid the groundwork to do even better in Part 2. The worst thing you could do is look back with regret on something which is not determinative of the end result and allow that to distract you from what lies ahead. There is also the greater point that even the Part 2 results are not decisive for your future in the slightest. Keep your head up.

[@ElenaHandtrack]

Thank you :)

[@danaalkandari3373]

Hi Elena! Congratulations on your grades! I studied in the UK too and their gradings can be a bit confusing; you don’t usually get the EXACT grade you had on your exam as the curve goes up or down depending on how well/poor students performed. So the grade you get can differ from the exam grade by approx +- 5%. Also, if you think you’ve performed better that what you’ve received, then it would be better to contact the school and ask them to check your grades again. One time I was told I failed a subject, but deep down inside I knew I haven’t. So after urging them to check my exam paper and grade again, they found out that the 2nd examiner has mixed up my grade with another student. Mistakes do happen, even at the most prestigious unis so never hesitate to ask them to check the grades. Good luck on the rest of your journey👍🏻

Getting a 2:1 in one of the most prestigious universities in the world while FIGHTING A PANDEMIC and the breakdown of the global contemporary capitalist system as we know it? We stan a law queen.

[@ElenaHandtrack]

Aww thank you so much🤗💫

[@serhatmelek3043]

@LorieSays, I am gonna be very transparent with you. This pandemic has benefited students in a very ridiculous way. Exams are open book with long durations. The only problem students face is the resource and mental health (some students over-exaggriate). Getting 2:1's is an accomplishment. Congrats to her but some people cover the benefits to make them seem like they are in a life or death situation.

[@luciankira5096]

Serhat Melek totally. Open book doesn‘t mean anything necessarily. Our Professor just made the exam longer, so we can‘t look anything up or we are in serious time trouble, but he also made it harder, because technically we could look anything up haha. To be fair it‘s only really about pass and fail, however good grades do help with mandatory internships and scholarships. But I do agree, the semester was not really that much harder for me personally, but I do have a good place to study, many do not.

[@debbieartsybie]

@@serhatmelek3043 I think it really depend on your uni. My Uni switched to online invigilation on most exams. Nothing is open book and there is no way of looking anything up. So it's pretty much the same thing except with online invigilation, I can't even go to the bathroom 🤷‍♀️

[@RoseAllDayyy]

Serhat Melek I don’t know how Cambridge law operates, but almost all my law exams were four hours long open book (and this was 10 years ago, obviously pre-pandemic, but in normal exam settings). The key skill for legal practice is adequately applying the law, not memorising it, so having open book exams is necessarily giving students an advantage, depending on how the exams are designed. I’d be surprised if Cambridge students are only expected to rote learn and memorise, rather than actually learn how to apply the law to hypotheticals, but I could be wrong.

[@francesisabellaolasiman1435]

Thank you for still uploading even if it wasn't the best results you hoped for. I really appreciate your authenticity and your drive.

[@ElenaHandtrack]

Thank you :) I thought you guys deserved to know and I also wanted to show everyone that it's okay if things don't go perfectly!

[@rilasolo113]

Contract: 60.5% 2:1 Land law 64.5% 2:1 Family law 61.5% 2:1 Jurisprudence: 68.5 2:1 International law 70% 1st Average: 65 mid 2:1 Lol I thought you were going to come at us with 3rds or 2:2s or something Elena 😂 well done, particularly on your international law mark!!! Remember that your grades are decided based on being a percentage of really intelligent people at one of the hardest unis in the world, and that you are performing amazingly! xx

[@ZeBah1988]

Constantine Solo how so? could u explain that... i mean she gets on the ground of how she performed

[@fullmetalalchemist4562]

She was so dissappointed with herself that she divided 140 by 2 with calculator 😂

[@rilasolo113]

ZeBa degrees in the uk are marked according these categories, I think: 1st 70%+ 2:1 60%+ 2:2 50%+ Third: 40%+ Less than 40 is a fail. 1st and 2:1 are regarded as really good (especially from a really academic university like Cambridge) Hope that helps :)

[@ElenaHandtrack]

Honestly at that point I had no faith in my abilities 😂

[@raphynette]

Hi Elena! I understand that you’re disappointed in yourself but please remind yourself that you’re in a much better position than you were last year: you got to sit your exams with your peers & still get a mid 2.1. Teaching got derailed, Easter term happened online, those were open book exam & your professors might have graded them more severely, even unconsciously. You did well girl!

[@ElenaHandtrack]

Thank you for writing that - I tend to tunnel focus on anything bad and I had honestly not thought about it that way but you are so right :)

[@linajakoba6536]

my favourite moment: Elena reading out 70, looking at her Phone no reaction at all nd she just wants to continue and then you could literally see how she realized what a 70 means😂❤️

[@ElenaHandtrack]

That was definitely the happiest moment of this reaction video!

[@jamesfrain7365]

When you see that she's not happy with her grades in the description at the start of the video so you make sure to watch the adverts all the way through so she gets some more adsense money

Even without considering the circumstances of the pandemic, your results are AMAZING. You worked so hard and deserve to be proud of your grades 😅 All the best for your next year at Cambridge, but in the meantime enjoy your well deserved break xx

[@nikgalanis3359]

Beloved you are more than some grades. You are a magnificent human being, who has been through challenges and you are still there, still standing. Your perseverance will inspire many. Dont beat yourself up, you are worthy of being happy, right here, right now. Enjoy the little pleasures of being a student and try to have regular breaks and arrange things that will also bring you joy and make you look forward in life. And if you feel you need to speak to someone we are here for you! (from someone who dropped out of uni before and eventually returned back and succeeded).

[@ElenaHandtrack]

Thank you so much🤗💫

[@katarinabrezovar7644]

Oh no, I am so sorry that you are disappointed and worried about your scholarship. I watched you work so hard all year and I understand why you are not happy with the grades that you got. You almost always went above and beyond and did all the extra reading that was not even compulsory. Especially Land law you mentioned many times how much you liked despite of the fact that it is generally not a very liked subject. If it is possible I think it would give you a lot of peace to maybe get feedback on the exams and why you got the grades that you did? I do not know if it is, but yeah. Congrats on passing your exams regardless:)

[@ElenaHandtrack]

I will definitely try to get some feedback but even though things didn't work out perfectly, I can luckily say that I really enjoyed my courses this year :)

[@hunched_monk3279]

Thanks for sharing Elena, I worked hard and got a spread of results too. I’m in a top law school for my state but it’s no Cambridge. Its honestly refreshing to see someone like you, who I honestly can see working at the UN one day, still facing challenges along the way. Appreciate your honestly (as usual) with your channel :)

[@ohitsme8444]

Hi! I’m a second year at Cam! I know it can be really difficult to not compare yourself to a cohort of such high achievers, and even to yourself, but please try and keep in mind that a mid 2.1 is a very high pass! I’m really proud of the work you’ve put in, especially under these circumstances, and I hope you can find some pride for yourself too ❤️

[@ElenaHandtrack]

Thank you so much and wishing you all the best for the next academic year :)

Hi, Elena... I understand this... You really worked hard and you truly an inspiration .. I saw your videos Today only Keep working hard I know you will succeed to the highest... I stan a law queen.. Love you Elena ❤😘

[@rosymarysilva]

Owww you did great, you're so intelligent!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 I hope everything works out, you're very smart, study hard and I imagine the pressure you may feel. It's not easy, a lot of changes during quarantine, and it affects our grades at University. Well, just want you to know that you're awesome, inspired me a lot and I've learned a lot from you. (I'm a Brazilian law student). I hope your scholarship doesn't get affected by this. You'll do much better next semester/year. God bless you! 🙌🏽

[@ElenaHandtrack]

[@HannahFrostFreespiritedwarrior]

Sorry your worried about your scholarship, I hope it will be enough. You’ve done amazing and I’m sure you’ll smash your final year. I got a 2:2 in my contract exam and then graduated top of my class.

[@ElenaHandtrack]

Thank you and massive congratulations on your achievements 💫🤗

[@mylondonexcuse]

It is very generous of you to post your grades even when they are not what you had expected. You did very good, still. Congratulations!

[@ElenaHandtrack]

Thank you🤗

[@schoolwork232]

Oh Elena. You always work so hard and smart and I am so proud of you! I was also expecting high grades on your behalf just like you did but it's okay even if the results weren't all that great to you. Your work ethic, passion and dedication to this field is what will sell you so well in the market. There will be so many people out there more than privileged to work with you as an advocate! I pray that you get to keep your scholarship throughout law school... :)

[@ElenaHandtrack]

Aww thank you so much for your kind words🤗💫

[@ohtheresheis8542]

The grading system is so confusing...I mean, having basically 4 tiers only is not precise at all and gives big ranges 😅 anyway congrats on passing everything!

[@roozbehshvelayati3541]

Pretty close and also high results in all subjects show your great ability in time management and ِyour dominance over different subjects. Well Done!

[@ElenaHandtrack]

Thank you :)

[@karlaazcona8728]

Awee congratulations you did so good! I feel like this shows you how much potential you have, like you say that you did better in subjects that you didn’t think you would do good in. I feel like this mean that your potential is limitless, and for me personally doing the work and studying already goes a long way, wishing you the best for the future

[@amandateresagomezalva9859]

[@ElenaHandtrack]

[@liselotdecanck406]

Ahh I relate to you so much Elena! I was quite disappointed in some of my grades as well, even though they were objectively not bad. But remember, this semester has been very unusual, and we worked super hard, and even if it's not what we hoped for, I think we still deserve to be proud of what we achieved!

[@ElenaHandtrack]

Thank you and whatever your grades were, you can be so proud of yourself for sitting exams at all at a time where the entire world was quite literally on halt🤗

[@fullmetalalchemist4562]

Contract law was my worst subject, I was dissappointed with my grades as well since I put the most effort to it. Congrats on your international law success tho! Remember you are studying in one of the hardest schools and amongst the most intelligent teens on the planet.

[@ElenaHandtrack]

Sorry to hear that but you deserve to be proud of yourself for your hard work! Wishing you all the best :)

[@fullmetalalchemist4562]

Elena Handtrack Absolutely! I’m proud of myself since I did the most I could do, but even after 2 years, it still bothers that I put literally zero effort to criminal law and ended up top of my class but I’ve worked so hard to get an a for contract law and got a c. You reminded me my old self haha. I’ve come to a realization that every law student has a natural tendency to a particular area of law...

[@acourtesan]

I almost lost my scholarship my second year, but i turned it around. I graduated with honors. 😇

[@GeorgieEllen10]

Hi Elena, I'm sorry to hear about your scholarship, hope it works out 🙁 but congratulations on your 2.1! I've just finished my 1st Year at Cam studying English 🙂 I know it can be disappointing when you hold yourself to high academic standards and end up with slightly different marks, and Cambridge usually only adds to the academic pressure, but make sure you celebrate because a 2.1 is still a very good grade! You're gonna smash next year 🎉☺️

[@ElenaHandtrack]

Thank you so much and I wish you all the beat for your second year🤗💫

[@EllaGreenwood22]

I wouldn’t worry about it too much... I don’t know for sure if Cambridge do this, but a lot of unis scale marks do get the 70%, 60% boundaries etc. You’ll be amazing :)

Dear Elena, I never really commented on your videos but I have been an avid follower for a few months now! Your videos have helped me become more disciplined and generally happier since I know there is someone that loves learning as much as I do. (I am going into third year of my undergrad in Canada for Genetics!) CONGRATULATIONS on your marks, you put in so much hard work into every subject and you should be proud of yourself! I know that it is difficult not knowing what will happen to your scholarship but I REALLY hope everything will be okay! Please don't lose hope, your success is NOT only these grades, but you have also accomplished so many things in just a year! The most important thing is the knowledge you have gained this year. I hope you don't feel too sad or too disappointed right now. Fingers crossed everything will be okay. Don't worry Elena your hard work will pay off! :) I just wanted to say THANK YOU for being so wonderful, intelligent and hardworking! I am excited to see your future endeavours and successes!

Hello! I hope everything works out well with your scholarship. I also had to rely on one during my whole education and I know just how scary it is to think that you might lose it. I had moments too when I just worked really hard for a subject and the outcome wasn't the expected one, and it's really frustrating. I think good grades are 90% hard work and 10% luck (for example, who is marking the exam or what questions you got can make an important difference in the end). But, you still did amazing!! And you can take this opportunity to learn. If you can, ask your professors to review the exams with you and explain your mistakes so you can improve :)

[@emmadiez4637]

I understand your disappointment, I am the kind of person that puts a lot of pressure on herself to get good grades, and I really need a good gpa to get a scholarship to do my PhD in law. Last year I worked so hard but only ended up with a 7'91/10 gpa which would translate into a mid to low 2:1 in the UK system and I was disappointed. This year I decided to change my study habits a little bit to be more efficient and ended up with a 8'98/10 which would be a low 1st. So I guess what I want to tell you is that disappointment sucks but it's good if it helps you do better next time. You are very smart, probably a lot more than you think and you can do better. This has also been a hard year, for everyone and a mid 2:1 is a good grade, it's good that you are not satisfied because this will motivate you to do better.

Elena, on average students do much better in third year! I got 64 in 2nd year and 72 in third year :)

[@ElenaHandtrack]

OMG congrats! And fingers crossed for my third year :)

[@IwonaKlara]

Hi! I have hope you will get your scholarship! And don't worry, everything will be okey!

[@ElenaHandtrack]

Thank you🤗

[@julieannelovesbooks]

So the whole video I'm yelling at you through your screen that it's okay and it was covid and stressful and a completely different environment the past couple of months so you shouldn't expect yourself to do better than you did all year.... But then you explained about your scholarship... I really hope they can cut everyone some slack due to this whole situation. I really hope you don't stress about it too much right now, you did everything you could and you work so hard every day, I don't think there's anything more you can do about it now. So I hope you can find some peace in that you worked so hard this year. And damn girl, you deserve that scholarship. You still got a 65%!!! Even through all this shit you still managed to get a pretty good grade and even a 70% in international law!!!!

[@ElenaHandtrack]

Thank you so much and fingers crossed that the foundation will see it that way🤗

[@julieannelovesbooks]

Elena Handtrack THEY SHOULD! It would be absolutely crazy if they didn’t. And as a law student, you might even be able to look into international law and how other countries are dealing with this same issues and make an appeal or something? Idk how that works. But in the Netherlands one of our ministers started a dialogue with all the universities and colleges to protect us the students. Even the high school students didn’t need to do their final exams if they had all passing marks.

I get your feeling girl. I always aim for a 75/100 or magna cum laude (how my uni calls it). In Belgium to get a first or a summa magna cum laude you need to have a 82.5/100. But at the end of the day it is just a number and it is Camebridge grading. So they will not give it for nothing. If the highest ranking is a 70/100, that says a lot. In my eyes that is mediocre but for Camebridge standards that is excellence.

[@ritzmonster]

I may not know how the UK grades are averaged, but regardless of the scores you received, I still think you did great nonetheless! So don't be so hard on yourself Elena!

[@ElenaHandtrack]

Thank you💫

[@astargazinglife]

I truly understand what it means to work hard everyday and not get the results you expect. But on the other hand your grades were not bad and you had to take the last term at home, because of a pandemic, be proud of what you achieved! Try to learn what you did wrong in the exams (maybe exam revision or something similar could help), and I'm sure that you'll end up graduating with a First! :)

[@ElenaHandtrack]

Thank you so much and I’ll definitely try to figure out what went wrong🤗

*Calculates 140/ 2* Me: wait what? 😂

[@arbaouiaya6536]

me during an exam xD

[@ZeBah1988]

calculating 2+1 to really make sure it is 3 when school crushes ir confidence

[@soumagnidas6038]

Probably nervous. Nothing to laugh. :/

[@ohtheresheis8542]

@@ZeBah1988 hahahaha you brought me back to my every math test

[@ElenaHandtrack]

I watched me do that while editing and I was like "girl what?"

[@cawo7449]

Surprised that a Cambridge student doesn’t realise that all you need to do is half the mark out of 200 to find the percentages

[@ElenaHandtrack]

Honestly I saw so nervous - I couldn't even have calculated 4 divided by 2!

[@cawo7449]

Elena Handtrack hah - understandable, well done on your results👍

[@georginakourtesi8432]

hope your scholarship remains intact ☺️☺️

[@ElenaHandtrack]

Thank you🤗

[@lechomage]

I know how it feels. Don’t get too upset over it. It’s the first year at uni and this year results will prompt you to do better. I wouldn’t think your scholarship could be called off just because of a couple of points. Besides, you got a first and a high 2:1, no 2:2s - that’s already good. Law is competitive and hard, loads of people struggle to do well in it. Your results at such an elite uni are already something! Keep working at it and it will all come to you! (P.S. I know this feeling as it is so tricky: you come out of the exam room thinking it went well, and then you usually get something lower than expected, and vice versa. You revise less, in a less routinised and structured way and you do better. For law it won’t work like for philosophy I guess, opening up your mind and just writing, but at times it felt right, as ‘overly’ strategic thinking over potential essay questions really seemed to hinder the performance somehow). So no worries. You work hard. You’re bound to do well!

[@ElenaHandtrack]

Thank you so much🤗💫

[@squeegybeckenheim2489]

You can't devide by 2 without a calculator? I'm confused.

[@faridahtheexplorer]

I hope you did well. You've worked really hard. It's only deserving that you get good grades. Sending you hugs x

[@jhleeify1]

I do also appreciate that you filmed this video, which encourages me a lot. An intelligent and devoted person like you can still feel frustrated about studying in a prestigious law school, then I feel it’s normal for an ordinarily person like me can feel devastating sometimes. Finding out the fact makes me more accept who I am and what I have to face. Thanks your courage and generous to share this. 💗💗💗

[@EdiaanSmit]

Congrats, a pass is a pass! You did well, I think your grades should be enough for your scholarship!

[@ElenaHandtrack]

Thank you🤗

[@lissyg121]

I think you’re too fussed about the mark. A 2:1 is a 2:1. That’s what most people need to secure a top job. If you get a 2:1 from Cambridge, you should be proud, whether it’s a low 2:1 or high 2:1.

[@gojosotaru4138]

my first year i got 2:2 & now im on my sec year 😩

[@ElenaHandtrack]

You got this - wishing you all the best🤗💫
