    On results day, I know you've got to call the college if you do worse than expected in exams, but do you have to call and tell them if you did better than the predicted grades you wrote down?

    Also I can't remember what grades I told them... So will they send me a copy of it or something nearer to results day?

    I wouldn't see why you would, surely you only need to call them if you do worse if you have an offer depending on your grades? Doing better than expected wouldn't change anything, so I doubt you'd need to.

    Hey, I'm in exactly the same situation and from what my college has told me (King Edwards), you only need to tell them if you did badly in the exams that are essential for your A-Levels. E.g. If you were predicted an A in biology and are doing it at A-Level but got a C (remembering that you need at least a B in science to take it to AS level) then you would need to call the college.

    However, if you did better then you were expecting just wait untill you re-enroll in August/September.

    Hope this helps!

    Okay thank you. Not that I'm expecting to do better :P I just wondered if I would change your stuff, but I guess not. If you were doing like level 2 qualifications and then you did better than expected and got 5C's I guess you would tell them then because they could move you up to do your A levels.. Hmmm..
