    Can everyone who is predicting A/A* for the English's please explain why they think they may get that grade, I personally would be over the moon with two A's in English, they're my top priority, but I just don't know if what i've written warrants that grade, how much did you write for the essay questions etc?

    Well, here're my grades:

    subject: predicted/hopeful/likely/worst case

    Biology: A*/A*/A*/B
    Chemistry: A*/A*/A*/A
    English: A/A*/A/B
    English Lit: A/A/A/C
    French: A*/A*/A*/A
    Latin: A*/A*/A*/A

    Very interesting thread... I'm hoping for:

    Science (Double Award) - AA
    Mathematics - A
    English Language - A
    English Literature - B
    History - A*
    Geography- A
    Chinese - A*
    P.E - A*
    I.C.T - A

    =A*A*A*AAAAAAB
    But those are very unrealistic... so more like:

    Science (Double Award) - BB
    Mathematics - B
    English Language - B
    ENglish Literature - B/C (if very unlucky)
    History - B
    Geography - B
    I.C.T - A/B (if very unlucky)
    Chinese - A
    P.E - A

    =AABBBBBBBB

    Well, one of the reasons I think I'll get an A (or whatever) in English Literature is because (aside from the fact that I was relatively good at the subject and revised hard for the exam) I managed to predict what one of the essay questions would be and write a rough plan whilst revising - and I was right.
