English teachers conclusion ****

The thing is my eng teachers always make **** jokes like 'o we get more money if like we get a higher grade than wat they predict us. They are just playing with my life here really.

Tell them not to be stupid. Tell them you want a prediction for you based on your AS level work not on your GCSE compared to a national average.

Its the most retarded thing basing it off alis, imagine if yo uwere amazing at english a GCSE and got A* but crap at everything else and got D's. Your alis would be like a U or something for english at A level.

Prdeicted grades dont mean anything, there not even that accurate, they could predict you a D but then you go and prove them wrong and get an A.

nope it isnt. I was predicted E's and D's and the course i wanted was for C's and they still accepted me on the course. There arent the be all and end all. if giggsy was to put his/her AS grade on it, the admin team at the uni would see it and take it into account.

na i want to do pharmacy and ive asked admissions tutor although some say they dont care most do. I mean the fact i was 10 of an A should mean i should be predicted alteast a B. Infact my intention was to ask them to predict me an A before I heard this.

if you include that, as ive said, then surely they know you are capable in that subject, they know that predicted grades arent that accurate and so AS grades are worth more.

yeh too right, even if you are a united fan! :p:

this is the point where you prove your teacher wrong, or the alis predictors wrong and get what you know you can achieve, all the best.

ALIS provides minimum TARGET grades not PREDICTED grades. perhaps your teacher is mixing these up?

teacher : weve decided to use the same one as the one before
