Thanks for this thread!
I have a question though that I've been wondering for quite some time. I have asked this from three people living in the UK and from a Finnish student organization forum, but nobody seems to get my point... I'll give it a go here, because this is really bothering me.
So, in Finland we don't get any official predicted grades. So basically what I did was asked each teacher give me a predicted grade. They all said I could get 7/7 from my exams, but that 6/7 was just as possible. Only about 5% of the students can get 7/7 because it's really hard to achieve this. My teacher weren't able to say which one I should put as my predicted grades.
What do you think, which one would be safer? 7/7 is realistic, yes, but really unsure, because basically it depends on how other people did on the exams and the grades are based on that. Is it better to put lower or higher predicted grades?
