Can teachers withdraw a student from exams ?

Hi so I’m in year 13 and I did horribly in my recent mocks mostly because of anxiety and stress reasons where I get so nauseous and throw up my stress is too much in exams . And they used these mocks as indication to see if we will be entered for exams or not ? But I’m confused it’s nearly April …shouldn’t they have already put in our names ? Can teachers not put your name in for a exam that I have been working towards for two years ?

Entries were done in February ... is this an empty threat?

No clue , my teachers kept saying if we do bad in these exams they will withdraw our names and won’t let us sit the exams so we repeat another year , I’m worried sick

Once you've been entered they can't withdraw you from the exam

They can with draw an entry: https://www.aqa.org.uk/exams-administration/entries/check,-change-or-withdraw-entries

However they should not do this without your consent.

Unfortunately I don’t think they care for our consent , it’s up to the teacher

It's highly, highly unlikely that you'd be withdrawn from an examination against your wishes at this stage. SLT couldn't be doing with all the aggro and hassle of it. I suspect this is a ruse from your teacher to get you to pull your finger out and do some work.

Thank you put me at ease for a while , it’s just my friends predicted got changed by a teacher cuz she did bad in the mocks and way below her predicted , I thought predicted grades couldn’t be changed after the ucas has been sent off she has received offers already idk if they will withdraw their offer. This reason was also why I was scared when they said they can withdraw us from examinations I don’t know if it’s empty threats or if they need my consent to do or they will just do it without asking they keep saying it over and over and my mocks have been horrible this month .

No problem.

As for the revision of predicted grades, I think this is more of an internal thing than a UCAS thing. You're right that the prediction sent to the universities isn't going to be revised or changed now, but the teacher is at liberty to change what he or she predicts for the student in light of recent test/mock results. Just have to hope that your friend outperforms these predictions on the day!

Personally, I'd be inclined to be very adult about this, speak to the teacher in private after a lesson and ask respectfully that he or she does not threaten you with things like examination withdrawal as you find it adds to your stress levels and isn't in any way motivating or productive. Unfortunately, your teacher should just know this already...

Best of luck with your forthcoming examinations.

Right? This sounds horrid, why are we threatening stressed children??? I'm sure they realise the gravity of the exams already, no need to add on.
