Your school doesn't tell you what your predicted grades are?
How are you meant to know what unis are suitable for you to apply for 0_o ?

I KNOWW!!! That sucks!!
I asked my counsellor the other day and she said 'you can always get better results than predicted grades'
:s-smilie:

And unis consider predicted grades so much!!

My school too!! It's terrible. What's more, I take a version of the A-levels (not in UK) that doesn't have AS grades. So I have no idea what my teachers have predicted!!!
