Predicted grades HELP DUDE

Chem: I got D in term 1, C in term 2. I’m revising a lot atm and am aiming for 95% + in my March mock, we have no other assessments after March, but we have an assessment in term 6 which I believe will just be like an end of topic one but I hope to get 95%+
Bio: defo A* predicted.
Maths: I got C in term 1, E in term 2. I’m revising a lot aswell and am aiming for 95% + in March mock, after that we also have no assessments until end of topic term 6 one but I hope to get 95%+, I’m thinking of doing maths AS too, in order to boost my predicted grade.
I emailed my head of sixthform about how predict grades are decided, he replied
All teachers will be using a holistic view of progress, so it is not all based on one mock exam.

Each subject will have their own system of which assessments they use to establish their predicted grades.

However, saying that, I would imagine the mock will feature quite high in terms of which assessments they use.

If I manage to achieve my desired grades, will my predicteds for maths and chem be A*??
Btw I wanna do med,AND I KNOW it’s a big jump, but I’m positive I can do it- hence been revising like crazy. Pls just answer the question.
Thank you

Nobody will be able to answer with certainty since they don't know your teachers or your school policies. However I would say that it would be unlikely for them to predict you lower than your mock and if you get 95% I would find it hard to believe they wouldn't predict you an a star.
