Can I get good grades with these predicted grades?

I'm taking AS Geography, Biology, Chemistry and English Literature. I've just been given my predicted grades and they are DCCE, However I want AAAB or higher at AS, Is it possible and what are the best ways to boost my grades for these subjects? Any opinions and advice would really be appreciated!

One has to question why you were given those predicted grades but yes, it is definitely possible to beat them. I know plenty of people who beat their predicted grades by two grades.

Predicted grades for AS are very difficult for teachers to work out and are often completely rubbish. I have friends who were predicted CCDD and achieved AABB or similar - it's much more about how hard you work than anything else.

The best ways to boost your grades are through plenty of revision and working well in lessons. I took Biology and Chemistry, and the key with Biology is to start revising early. There's an awful lot to learn, so as soon as you're taught it make revision resources in preparation. Keep revisiting what you've already been taught to ensure that you still remember it and don't have to teach it to yourself again when it comes to revision. With Chemistry, past paper questions are your friends. Start practising early, because the hardest part of Chemistry isn't learning the stuff, it's applying that knowlegde when answering bizarrely-worded questions.

forget about the predicted grades at the moment, just put your hard work in and have loads of motivation towards all of your subjects. evenly distribute the time you have to each of the subjects you do in order to pass with flying colours which I am sure you will.

yeah predicted grades are kinda stupid and are basically just complete rubbish. I was predicted DCC and got ABB.

I think I was given them because my grades in KS2 SATS were really low, as well as my grades in KS3 and apparently they use Fisher Family Trust data to predict them. At GCSE I was only predicted B's and C's because of this but managed to get 5A's and 4B's.

Thanks!!

They still use your SATs data?! That's an awfully long time.

If you need to resit, don't resit with the aim of getting one grade higher (unless you got an A initially) - aim for the highest grade you can - it'll make your life so much easier Start working from now maybe? I'm going to try and learn all the content by Christmas (Yes, it'll be very hard) and then work on revision and exam practice till exam season >D
