Predicted grades?

Hi. How does predicted grades work if you are resitting an exam? I am improving on one of my subjects this summer. Is the predicted grade usually higher than the grade got in the exam (cancelled this year of course) How are they usually decided? Thanks

The predicted grade should be what the teacher realistically thinks you could achieve on a good day. So not necessarily higher than the grade you got given in the summer.

Thanks for the reply. What data would they use though to make that judgement considering I'm not in school anymore? Do they set a mock test or use my results from last year?

They would look at your results from last year in tests and also in courseworks/homeworks - anything really
School staff are usually 'optimistic' and will predict you a good grade.
