Should my Chemistry teacher predict me an A*?

I got 273/300 UMS in my AS AQA Chemistry exam. That's around 91% UMS. I am really hoping that my Chemistry teacher will predict me an A*, however I think she is going to try and resist predicting me that highly.During Year 12 I was predicted a B at AS, because I got a C (69%) in my January Chem 1 mock. I have improved massively since then, getting an A (90%) in my Chem 2 mock around Easter, and obviously 273 UMS in the real exam.I think she will try to argue that I wasn't tracking at an A for most of Year 12 and so I don't deserve the prediction. How much should I try to fight for an A* prediction (as in calling in parents, talking to my head of year etc)?Would 91% UMS usually get you an A* prediction?

You are inconsistent and I don't think your teacher should predict you an A*. If she did, the uni might not believe her or you apply for a course you are unlikely to get the grade for and miss out on one that you could have got in.

Getting your parents involved and putting pressure on your teacher is not a good idea because it may skew her actions which is what you are trying to do. She won't be doing the best for you by making unrealistic predictions.

You have to just face the fact you did not do the work earlier on and these are the consequences.

I think it would be a fair prediction, I got a U in my January physics mock then came out with an A* hahaha, however my teacher predicted me an A (I wasn't planning on applying to uni that year though so my prediction didn't really matter).

Yes, 100% fight for it, you've got over 90 UMS which suggests you can do the same at A2, which is an A*. Send her an email asking the likelihood, and if she says she wont, go from there.

Edit: I got an E in a timed past paper as i didnt bother revising, got over 90% in the real thing & am getting an A* prediction.

The university wouldn't know how I was tracking in January surely? They can only see your AS and GCSE grades, they can't even see my AS UMS.

I find it really frustrating because I worked consistently throughout the year, however a lot of the theory only "clicked" for me around March. Before then I was spending much more time trying to memorise chemistry knowledge, and after I actually spent less time studying because I wasn't trying to memorise aspects of the course as I understood the concepts so could figure things out in the exam.

An uni admissions tutor can read between the lines of an application, thats their job, if you do get an interview, they may also ask about your previous grades including mocks and UMS.

You need to show your teacher you are capable of an A*, thats not done by getting parents/heads involved.

Ask her to give you some pass papers to do and get A* in them, it does not need to be complete papers, just one or two questions out of them.

Are you applying for medicine/dentistry/vet?

I'm planning on applying for Medicine and my predictions would be A*AA (if chemistry ends up as an A) or A*A*A (if chemistry ends up as an A*).

So I don't need the extra A* prediction and I'm mostly applying to AAA universities so it wouldn't be in my offer. But an extra A* prediction is always helpful.

What papers could I sit to show her I'm capable of an A*? I've already demonstrated that in my AS exams and I haven't studied enough of A2 to prove it there...

Have you actually asked her yet? You said 'you think she will try to resist', just tell her what you've said here and see what her response is first?

I will ask her but a girl in Year 13 got 90% UMS last year and she refused to predict her an A*, so I was hoping for some guidance on whether or not my teacher would be being unreasonable to not predict the A*.

ah I see, did you perform well at gcse? maybe you could refer back to those results to show that your result this year wasn't just a fluke

Can you breakdown your ums in units please?
Maybe if the isa/empa was where you dropped a lot of your ums, they may predict you an a* as you can obviously do the exams. ..

Congrats on 273! I got 291 in aqa as chemistry...
