How do predicted grades work?

I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post this, so sorry if it is not. I was wondering how teachers predict your grades. Do they only go on AS results or do they also take mocks into account? I'm hoping to be predicted A*A*A for maths, further maths and physics. I'm confident that I can get A's in maths and further maths, but I messed up the unit 1 paper for physics so may only get a B for AS physics.
So say I got A's in maths and further maths, and a high B in physics. Could I realistically be predicted A*A*A?

There are various factors taken into account
• Did you perform as expected
• How did you find the paper
• Are you hardworking / determined
• AS grades
• How did you perform on homework/tests throughout the year
• Are you going to resit
• What universities are you applying to

Usually scho predicted you one up from your AS, though not always.

Hopefully that's the case.

So if I was going to apply to imperial (so would need A*A*A) and was going to resit physics to get an A at AS, there would be a realistic chance of being predicted A*A*A?(I'm very hardworking and have got A's on all tests throughout the year)

I would say yes, but depends on your teacher.

Obviously, imperial is competitive - and so may also look at AS graces.
