Teachers reference

One of the minimum requirements of the uni I wanna apply to is AABb.

I took 3 AS levels, and I will be taking 3 Alevels and 1 AS this year.

I am predicted a b in AS bio, does this need ot be mentioned in my teachers reference coz it is a stipulant in the offer, or does not not av to be mentioned since ucas referees only have to predict A2 subjects?

Not sure, it would probably be best to mention it just incase. It's only going to take a line or 2

Is there a way of actually viewing your own reference without the teachers consent?

you don't need the teachers consent- by law they have to show it to you if you ask. But you might not be their favourite person if you insist on seeing it, and also what good will it do because you can't make them change it.

OP

I'd rather not mention, if possible.
I'm predicted AAA in my alevels and i think I would be worse off if I mentioned a predicted b in AS, than not mentioning it at all.

But if the prediction is required to meet the minimum entry requirement of AABb, then I have no choice.

You can ask UCAS for a copy of your whole form inc reference but you have to pay £10

I've asked my referee to see it but she goes to me that I need written consent from each of my subject teachers. :eek:

Apparently because last time subject tutors got angry when they found out that what they've written has been shown around. Load of codswallop I tell ya.

I know that my reference dosen't contain any adverse comments but I'm just driven by curiosity as to what my reference exactly entails.
