A' level grades are v important for Oxbridge. Each course has a minimum A'Level grade that you have to achieve if you are made an offer. The offer will be conditional on meeting those grades. However, if you just miss out on a grade by a few marks it would be worthwhile getting the paper re-marked in August.

Do you think your predictions will be below the standard offers, or that you just won't have A* across the board?

Yes, I’m concerned about my predicted grade. I’m okay for maths and biology just needs a bit of work but my physics grade is very concerning
