My predicted grades are actually not great and we haven't done mocks yet. Corona has messed up with a lot of our work. Is there a particular reason you want to know? x

yeah, i really want a conditional offer from tiffins and i wanted to know if you happened to know around what average predicted grades you might have to have. but omg definitely, my teachers said the mocks we just had are the worst mocks they've ever had since the new curriculum because everyones doing bad since we've missed so much school!

I am honestly so nervous for the exams and interviews because this Yr has no prepared us well. What prep are you doing?

tbh rn im just relying on my grades. my top 8 subjects average is 8.0 (predicted grades) and i'm really hoping i can achieve that for GCSE! im not thinking about interviews too much currently because they'll probably happen sometime next year.

Oh ok, but I would say to be prepared for interviews because mine are next week but they are doing it online, idk much about the school you are applying for but be prepared. The exams are next week as well, and I'm doing maths psychology biology and chemistry. What about you.

We have to do 4 subjects so I had to choose quite wisely. And for interviews tbh I'm just thinking of potential questions and drafting answers in my head, I haven't prepped much for the interviews yet mainly on the exams 😊
