Exactly this. “Chancer” is unfair. They removed course work from GCSEs for this A level cohort, indicating that only exams matter. They teach kids to pass exams and many play to their strengths by cramming. It’s been encouraged and now many are being penalised.
I can say this safe in the knowledge this morning that my son got the grades needed for his offer, but many are not so lucky.

Unless you're at a fee paying school, and get to take the international GCSE with coursework

I was just illustrating the only scenario where working hard doesn't pay off. Milestone exams SATs, GCSEs and A-levels aren't so easy as to make hard work pointless. The harder you work the better you will do. However, if you do cram and do well then you performed well, are not a 'chancer' and deserve a good grade just as much as someone who spent four times as long revising for it.
E: I've realised I'm trying to pat myself 15 year old self on the head for getting C's and U's in my GCSE mocks.
