I dont study in the UK, but it was the lowest predicted grades that they accepted to apply for Irish citizens. So I have to get between 80-90% in 3 exams, and 90-100% in another 3. I know it’s not that low- but it’s a lot lower than I expected and was the actual grades that my teachers predicted me.

Ah ok that makes sense! I was also convinced I’d be given a higher offer than I was - thought that if id get an offer (which I was adamant I wouldn’t lol) I’d have to get A*A*A but instead have to get just one A* in a specific subject haha
