Students who lost their places at university after having their A-level marks downgraded say they feel angry and let down by the government.
Image source, GoogleSamantha Smith, from Woodside, Telford, told BBC Shropshire she overcame being homeless in her teens and was anticipating getting three As in her subjects.
But instead, the student, who goes to Newport Girls High School, was given a B, an E and a U by a controversial modelling system and lost her offer from Cardiff University.
"I've called up several universities and the motto seems to be 'we understand how difficult it is, we don't understand how this has happened to you but if you get the grades on appeal we'll let you in and if not, we don't know what we can do'."
Fellow Newport Girls High School student Lucy Dover had been predicted three As but ended up with two Bs and a C and lost her offer from the University of Nottingham.
"I feel like the government's let me down a bit. We trusted them to work out our exam results for us and here I am unable to go to the universities I want to, to do the course I wanted to do, so I'm quite disappointed and a bit angry."
Labour has called on ministers to act immediately to sort out an "exams fiasco" in England and a "flawed system" had led to 280,000 pupils having their marks downgraded.
The Prime Minister Boris Johnson has defended what he said were a "robust set" of grades and said that pupils who believed they were treated unfairly would be able to appeal or, if they wanted, sit exams in the autumn.

An outdoor theatre venue is being built in the grounds of a country house to host live performances under Covid-19 social distancing rules.
Due to the pandemic, virtually all theatres have been closed for five months with no certainty about when they will be able to reopen fully.
Farmer Tim Ashton is building the outdoor amphitheatre on land at Soulton Hall, near Wem, Shropshire, out of soil.
He told the BBC he was confident the structure would be ready for use next month with up to 80 people in the audience.
"On the right day, it will be fabulous. On a more challenging day, there will be a bit of fortitude required from the audience but if we don't do this there won't be any performances."
