Is it just me or does the majority of students on this site have level 8/9 targets? I'm just sitting here with my 6's and 5 (French). Does anyone else have similar targets? Or am I just in the wrong place?

most of them are probably lying , you can type literally anything on this site , so there's nothing stopping them from saying they're achieving all 8/9's, just focus on yourself

In my opinion, the targets, that your school sets for you, are not that important - they just show the minimum grades that you are expected to get; your personal targets are more important. My GCSE targets last year were all B's and 6's but I ended up getting 8 A/A* grades in my final exams.

Wow, you did good. You're right. It's not like it means i'm going to get a 6, it just means if I don't, the school is terrible. Thanks -

My friends keep telling me that but I still feel as though i'm not any good. It's hard because I know people come to me for help, but even though I know the answer, I think it's wrong because the person asking has a higher target than me. I guess I just have to ignore the targets, it's making me feel below people.
but it really means nothing -

Our school targets us with low grades so we can push ourselves more in order to achieve the highest grades. Personally, if ur target for subjects is a grade 8/9 that's good but high grades won't motivate some people to still work harder like me. It will just make them lazy because they already know that they will be working up to that level.

Your GCSE targets are based on what you achieved in your SATS back in Year 6. Which in my opinion is absolutely ridiculous.
I'm in Yr12 right now and my targets were all A's with 8 in English and Maths. I do know one girl though who had targets of A*/9 in everything. -

Acrually it doesn't depend on sats really it depends on your Kat tests u did in year 7 but even that is ridiculous as I'm in year 11 and I must have improved after 4 years tho -

for each subject my target grade was literally a c and the odd b and I got 7 a stars and 3 as (Including two 9s). honestly target grades don't mean anything and are just there to make the school look good. ignore them they're always wrong. similarly a bunch of spakos were predicted 8s and 9s and got straight cs

i thought it meant the same thing
A target is what you are told you should be aiming for (based on your past performance e.g. at KS2 SATs or other assessments.)
A prediction is what someone actually thinks you are going to get.
As a lot of things can happen in the 5 years between KS2 SATS and GCSES there can be a massive difference between the 2. I've seen students targeted an A and predicted a D or targeted a B and predicted an A*.Last edited by Compost; 24-10-2017 at 16:20.
