Predicted grades if you're about to do a resit

I was wondering if I go thought the medical application cycle with my grades (BBC). Im resiting Chem, Bio and maths. Do I use these grade to apply- cause no way they'll accept them, or do I sit a sort of mock exam to get predicted grades for the cycle?

When you fill in your UCAS form, you enter any grades you already have and then you also enter predicted grades for future exams, if you’re able to source them (technically, you can submit the form without predicted grades). How are you planning on resitting? At your school or as a private candidate (either using school as exam centre or at a private one)? You’ll also need to consider where/how you can re-do the practical endorsement. When considering the above, you’ll need to enquire about process of getting predicted grades. Good luck!

You need to enter the grades you've achieved, and you'll enter the subjects you're resitting with the grade as 'pending'. This will alert the reviewer to the fact you're resitting. That should also be explained in your reference. You don't need to enter predicted grades.

Yes, you must enter both your original grades and any retakes subjects as pending.
