Predicted grades on UCAS

when are the grades predicted by?? basically when will i know my predicted grades??

They are predicted by your school, in time for your application to be submitted. Ideally you need to know the predictions before finally deciding which universities to apply to, because they may have a significant impact on your chances. There is little point applying to Oxford if you are predicted BBB, for instance.

they would not predict anything below what AS grade you got would they??

for the A2 modules, do we put pending for the results of each module.. eventhoguh we have not done them yet.

You put pending because you haven't done them yet.

The date you receive the paper is irrelevant. Put June 2008, which is when you took the exam. The answer to the second question depends on whether it was certificated or not.

but it says:
Please select the month and year that you certificated, or will certificate, the qualification. If you have not yet taken the examination, or if it has not yet been certificated, insert the date on which you expect to receive the certificate. This may be different from the date you received, or will receive, your results. If you are not sure, please check with your school or college.

Certification is when the exam board convert the UMS to a grade - normally its August when you get your results.
As for predicted grades - most school tend not to predict an A2 grade lower than the AS module scores have suggested. If they are predicting more than a grade lower, you need to have a discussion with them. If you just achieved a B, say, with 211 points then it is unlikely they will predict you an A unless there are circumstances suggesting you really can do better. Have your discussion with your teachers as soon as you go back as your predicted grades will go on your UCAS form. Admissions tutors initially use those to identify the applicants they give offers to, so make sure your predicted grades match with the institution you apply to.

Your tutor will put your predicted grade on your UCAS reference; this is standard. Check with your tutor what your predications are and also, you can ask for a copy of your reference. It's your right to see what they've said about you. If you see on the reference that there is not enough written about your strengths, you can ask your tutor to include more information on the reference (your tutor might not like it but you can still ask!).

Make sure that you enter on your form all your GCSEs and the correct grades, you would be surprised how many students omit to include all their GCSEs or other examinations they've sat; including music, dance, karate, etc. - it all counts.

Sell yourself in your personal statement, list all your achievements, activities outside of school, charity work, what you like doing,what you hope to achieve later in life, etc. Then get a relative or one of your tutors to read it for you. Make sure there are absolutely no grammatical or spelling errors. Go over your personal statement several times until you are really happy with it. Good Luck!
