Exam Results 2025 | Student Stress, Parent's Reaction & University Admissions |

The recent Cambridge O & A Level results 2025 left many students under extreme stress and anxiety. In this MOMKAST episode, we sit down with Sameera Hashim to unpack the pressure that comes with grades, how students can cope with stress, and the mistakes parents often make that make things worse.

From “A Graders” being celebrated by cafes, to why backbenchers can be real change makers, to how emotional regulation and parenting styles affect children — this episode explores the psychological, educational, and societal pressures around results.

We discuss:
Why the current grading system is flawed
How students can manage post-results stress
The role of parents in supporting kids instead of pressurizing them
The need for celebrating efforts over outcomes
How social media and screens are replacing real connections
What parents should start doing right now
This is a must-watch for students, parents, and educators who want to understand exam stress and build a healthier relationship with education.
