Is this a real UCAS grade?

Hi there,

Before our UCAS applications and predicted grades are attached to our application, we were given access to our college's online portal to see the predicted grades our teachers had given us.

In Business, my teacher has written:
Predicted Grade: A / A*

I had some people online tell me that this isn't a real predicted grade that can be put as a predicted, so I'm worried that when my UCAS referee manager sees this and is doing admin work on my application, they might just put the predicted grade as "A"

Is this a valid UCAS grade that can be put as a predicted grade? Or do I need to correct it somehow?
Thanks!

There is no such thing as a 'A double star' at A level.
And only 1 grade can be entered onto your UCAS application - not A/A* etc.

Hi there - I'm a little confused - this post has nothing to do with an A double star?

The predicted grade field will accept any text up to 10 characters. If they put A/A* then that’s what universities will see (unless they have **** systems that truncate fields but then they wouldn’t get complete predicted grades for any BTEC extended diplomas or anything that is graded pass/merit/distinction)
