Is it right for my teacher to predict me a B considering i got a B in AS?

If you wanted an A, you should have got an A. Why should you be predicted the same as people who didnt **** up? It kind of makes predictions pointless if everybody is given A's anyway.

Getting a 'B' is hardly a '**** up'

and also, most people (certainly in my school) do much better in A2 despite all you might say about it being more difficult than AS.

That makes very little sense.

Right,

So my history teacher has to give me a predticed grade for government and politcs due to my politics teacher leaving the college. I now have a new politics teacher, but she doesnt know my capability.

I feel that I can get an A.

In the units for AS I got an A and a D which overall was a B.

I'm going to be retaking the D and hopefully get an A overall.

But to be still predicted a B is upsetting.

Any advice guys?

I think they meant that if you get overpredicted then fail to get the grades, you'll just get 6 rejections from great unis rather than X offers from good ones.

What I mean is that if someone is predicted A's and so applies to unis that require A's he/she will get some conditional offers ,basically requiring A grades.
If he /she then gets B's or C's because their predicted grades were too high, the high predicted grades haven't done them any good at all.
The high predicted grades have just encouraged someone to apply to places he/she hasn't got a chance of getting into.

Really? Huh, I'm sure I remember doing 6...

Even so, that still makes no sense. For a start, you only apply to five unis, but I'll assume that was a typo.

Most people get offers before they get the grades, so they'll stilll get offers if they have predicted grades they'll later fail to achieve. For example, predicted AAA - they might still get all five back as offers.

Even when they do fail to get those grades, they may or may not fail to get into uni. For the purpose of discussion, eliminate the possibility of being accepted even if you do miss. Imagine they got BBB; if their firm offer was AAA and their insurance ABB, they won't get into their unis.

However, if they have an AAB firm and an BBB insurance, they'll still get into one of their chosen unis. So, it all comes down to what offers they're holding as to whether they'll get in, not if they're over-predicted/

But as I explained to History-Student, it's unlikely that even some predicted AAA would just apply to AAA unis; they'd also apply to some lower ones for insurance, so if they had a BBB insurance and got BBB grades, they'd still get in.

That makes very little sense.

It makes perfect sense - they may give you an offer based on the predicted grades, but if the grades are overpredicted then you won't actually get the grades and won't get in...

But it still doesn't mean that being overpredicted will result in you getting no offers. Unis are fully believing you'll achieve those grades, they're not to know that you'll later go on to fail.
