    Can ABBB be pushed to AAA?
    Sorry if this is in the wrong place as I am new to TSR.

    Was just wondering if for example I got ABBB as my AS results, what is the likelihood of a University offering AAB a A2 accepting my application?

    Well it depends on how your teachers are prepared to predict your grades; I was on BBBc I think and managed to get predicted AAA. I got 3 AAA offers.

    I would advise you to seriously ask yourself whether you can achieve those grades though, I convinced myself I could and came out with BBB in the end and missed all of my offers, bad situation.
