Predicted GCSE Results

I have friends who were predicted A2 and came out with C3.
I've found people with high predictions usually come out with low grades. I think they think the don't have to put the work in.
In science I was predicted a B2 and got an A2

Don't worry you have only just started your GCSE courses, just work hard and practice, when it comes closer to the exams past papers are a life saver for subjects like Maths and the Sciences.

I wouldn't worry over them, you still have a year and + to make them better. However, be careful when it comes to having predicted grades. ESPECIALLY ONES THAT ARE REALLY GOOD. My cousin received pretty good predicted grades (A's and B's). Instead, she ended up with D's, C's and 1 E and an A. She didn't revise a lot because she thought she was safe with her predicted grades.

I meant predicted 7A*'s 6A's won't let me edit... And I'm overpredicted on several subjects imo but I'll probably get several B's ;(

Don't let your school targets dishearten you or affect your GCSE results. Set your own personal targets and work towards achieving them. If you feel like you should achieve higher than predicted, go for it.. You're in year 10 so you have time :smile:

also revise during the summer before year 11 on all your weaknesses from the units in year 10. Just light revision.. That's something I should have done tbh and I regret not doing so.. Also, mock results in year 9 are just irrelevant imo. I got a 5a/6c in religious studies end of year 9, thus predicted a B. However I received 100% in that subject and my prediction/target grade was moved up to A*, which is the grade I got in the actual Gcse also.

Goodluck and sleep well knowing I have 8 months where as you have 20 until all your main GCSE's

I've found that with a lot of people. TBH don't believe your hype.
Also, don't trust past papers! unless you are getting full marks, don't worry about the grade you would of got. They can always make mark schemes harder for your year.

I would say don't be, but I'd be lying! It's good to worry about your future; it shows you care about it!
Don't revise too early because you'll get burn out :colondollar:

Heres my predicted grades, I am concerned with Maths (In year 10)
English B- (I personally feel this should be higher at least a B+)
Maths B-
Biology B+
Chemistry B+(Chemistry is too hard...)
Physics B+
R :colone:

A+
Geography B-(I'm currently on a F- no idea how i'm gonna get a B)
MFL French B-
PE C (I didn't even choose this subject...)
Resistant Materials C
Some grades I think are a little bit too high and some are a little bit too low. I'm most concerned with Chemistry and Maths

Hi, predicted grades are not usually what most people get at the end of year 11 as you might know already. :smile:

just go with what you think you can achieve. If you think you can achieve higher than your predicted grades, go for it and if some grades are lower than what they are predicted, dont worry.(remember, these are for end of year 11 and you're only in year 10 so you might achieve them by the end of year 11 :biggrin:

)
I think you said you're on F- for geography, i think some teachers offer to go over the topics the student doesnt understand very well after lessons or something. Does you schools does that? If, so try asking your geography teacher .

Thanks for the encouragement, my teachers keep telling me that the first half of a GCSE paper is D/C grade questions if I can get those right I can get a confirmed B. Is it true?
