.....changing predicted grades .........

Does anyone know if teachers can change predicted grades on ucas after the application form has been sent off? I need to know because right now my teachers are predicting me crap grades but I know I can get at least 1 grade higher so maybe they could change them later once they have a better idea of my progress? :confused:

Yes, I suppose they could send an email to universities and to UCAS updating your predictions, but that'd be a pain to organise, and it may be that universities have already made decisions - depends how late you leave it.

I'd say not to send off your form for a while (predicted grades are more important than when you send in the form, as long as it's before the deadline), and in the meantime strike a deal with your teachers. Work really hard in your subjects, revise thoroughly for tests, ask insightful questions and so forth - basically prove to them you're capable of the grades you need, and if by whatever date they're satisfied, they'll improve your grades. Showing them your dedication will go a long way.

You can do it but it might not do any good, my predicted grades got pushed up coz i was resitting, but 2 places still didn't accept me, even though i went on to get those grades in my final A levels.
