While calculated grades brought with them a very strange results day for students across the country, we also saw the same bittersweet mix of relief and disappointment seen in every given year. 

A far cry from the traditional celebrations, many schools invited students to attend via appointment only to discuss any setbacks, or to offer their congratulations.
