My predicted grades

So I got my GCSE predicted grades today, and I'm pretty happy with them, but I'm disappointed in my English grades. I got all 3 7s and the rest 8s, and my English teacher gave me 7s. I'm a but confused because he marked my work recently saying it was a grade 8?? I'm not sure what to do

A single grade 8 piece of work probably doesn't show your overall performance, and so your English teacher is likely to understand that you may not be at the level for a predicted grade 8. Its not very good to be too perfectionist, so I would recommend looking at the feedback and understand how you could improve to do better when you're in the real exams. Grades normally increase from mocks, but not without any work put in! Worrying too much about a single number really isn't good for you (I've learned from experience lol) and stay positive! A 7 is still a really good grade and have hope (my english lang and lit gcse grades were 2 grades higher than my mock grades, so don't feel too down about it).

Yeah, I made this thread straight after and I have had time to think about it- on Monday, my teacher is gonna tell us why he gave us these grades, so I can listen to what he says and improve

what year are you in?
