Hey everyone!
Has anyone heard of the GCSE Predicting company? I can't remember the exact name of it, but it had 'fish' in it o.O
Apparently, they predict all your GCSEs for every subject using information from your primary school and previous SATs
Anyone else think this is a completely stupid idea?! And how does it work exactly?

It's called Fisherman's trust I think. So stupid, it's based on a lot of things but its definitely not accurate @ all.
It's based on your ethnicity, SATs, I think Year 9 results but don't quote me on that and a whole lot of other things that don't matter.
I don't know of any school that solely uses this as a standard for grade-setting but it's just there for some reason. I don't think it holds much sway over anything tbh.

Ah, I guess so.
It's just that if this so called "trust" predicts me an A* for example, an my teachers think I'll get an A, then they'll put be as "Below" for that subject which is really putting me off tbh! :|

Yeah however non-politically-correct that may sound.

Don't worry about it just pretend it's not there because it doesn't really count for anything and at the end of the day only your real grade matters.

I'm happy with History but I'm not too happy with computing
Spoiler
Ah well. I didn't really revise for it anyway
I think I need to concentrate a bit more on the theory rather than the programming...Just one more result to get now (French). And then it's parents evening...*gulp*
(French). And then it's parents evening...*gulp*Any of you guys taking part in the UKMT Maths challenge tomorrow?

Were these real or mock results? (Sorry, I've forgotten
). Either way, really well done on your History, and don't stress too much on your Computing - your marks for that look like you weren't too far off an A, but then again I don't really know. Well done!

Not that I know of, but if I'm thinking of the right thing my maths class usually get it sprung on us without notice

haha, it's like an hour long, everyone attempts the first 25 questions and after that you end up drawing, because you don't want to risk losing marks on the next 2 sections ;D sound familiar? (':

ahaha, ah you're so lucky, I hate sitting through them. It's compulsory for the top two sets and I really just cannot be bothered.

They're mock results Yeah, you're right, I was about 2 marks off an A so hopefully I can improve that

Yep, that's the one. I hope we're doing it tomorrow, I'm sick of trig.
