Sorry ik I’m a bit annoying for this but basically my school doesn’t give out nines just like the grade + how how it is (developing, secure, proficient). The highest you get is 8 proficient. However in my mocks I got all 8 proficient except for 3 subjects where I got 8 secure and for some reason I got given a 9 in English lit. Basically my teachers said that in the real exam I would’ve gotten all nines and 3 eights. I’m applying to sixth forms rn and they want my grades however I’m applying to very competitive sixth forms which want a copy of my grades and everything and I was planning to explain that my 8 proficient= nines, however the random 9 would make my excuse bad. I got very high marks like 91/100 in chemistry and I got an award for highest grades in science. I’m rlly srrry bc ik it’s annoying that I’m complaining I’m just rlly anxious for standing out in a sixth form where over half of the year 11s got eight grade nines.
