What do you want to study and which subjects are you taking at a level?
It probably isnt going to help you. English exam boards are graded totally based on your year 13 exams unlike Welsh exams where year 12 results forms part of the overall grades. Your predicted grades arent going to change as they are set by your school.

No but you could ask your school if you can take another assessment.

What grades have you been working at?

Yes - of course. Perhaps have a look at Sheffield, Lancaster, Liverpool and Cardiff also. I don't think you are looking at one of the very popular courses so its not as tough as looking for economics degrees.

Yes as predictions unless your school changes them. There are many very good universities equally as good as RG universities.

Talk to your teachers - offer to do additional work over the summer and take another assessment. What grades are you working at ie was this exam similar to others you've done?
