International Student UCAS Predicted Grades

Hey everyone! I know I'm running late on this lol but I study under the French system and I've been talking to my teachers about writing me a reference. Is the predicted grades system only for UK applicants? I mean it wouldn't make much sense for it to apply to the French system, our qualifications work very differently but I just want to make sure.

It's very normal for international applicants to be unable to provide predicted grades. The universities will instead make offer decisions on the basis of the other information they can glean from your application.

Oh great thanks! Cambridge does ask you to submit a transcript of your grades but I haven't seen any other university ask for that, should I email them or something? It feels kind of weird to apply to a university without them having access to any of my academic records.

Yes I have and I put them into UCAS, it's somewhat of a GCSE equivalent but we take it a year earlier (so at 14-15 year-old), and a French formal exam on year 12. If that is enough for universities to make a decision then that works, thanks.

It just felt weird to me because in our system all of the assessments we take throughout the year count as official grades and per trimester we are given a transcript with an average grade per subject (which is what is used by French university decisions). I just feel like those reflect more about my current academic self than the exams I took when I was 15 do lol.
