Need AAA but predicted AAB?

Yeah, I'll defo get A predictions for Bio and Econ as my UMS were 295 and 300, but the 240 in Geog is borderline. I need an A prediction for Geog at uni though, and I'll retake a module, and my teachers will get such an ear-bashing if they don't give me an A prediction, they know how much I want to do Geog!!!

Nope, my only parents evening is going to be in the spring term somewhen. Don't know if i'll even get told my predicted grades.

I think they probably will know it by the end of the interview anyway!

And don't I know it!

Seriously though, what is the crack with predictions for everyone? I think I've got some kind of parent's evening in the second week back (where predictions are dished out). Is this the case for others?

I dont get to see my reference though

Computing - Purchased alcoholic beverage for tutor.....got A prediction.
Math - Absolutely begged for the best possible prediction she would give me.
Physics - Self-taught so college said I could predict my own

And don't I know it!

Get a copy from UCAS* after your app has been sent off.


*Cost you £11 though.

These two are hilarious - I'll bear in mind the top option for the one instance where I may need to use bribery.

Did you get to write your own reference for Physics too? Seeing as you were the 'teacher'.

I'm telling you, becoming your teachers drinking buddy is the way to go!!!

In Physics my Electronis teacher (also a Physics teacher) discussed what I thought I was capable of and I said that I thought I had enough ability to get an A. Fortunatly he liked me and somehow agreed and thu produced a great reference about my "personal motivation and drive".

Are you watching the Arsenal-Boro match?

What a game, 3-1 down to 4-3 up Just when you think they are going to do us a favour and drop some points

What! I have to watch that, it looked a bit dead for the first 30mins - so I stopped.

In my school, they predict you 1 grade higher than what you got at AS (effectively). I think in most cases it's fair, because statistically people do better at A2 than AS and you can re-sit say 1 dodgy module. Often most people in my school do meet their predicted grades.
