Bad test results uni predicted grades
Guys please can someone make me feel better or just help me 😩
I am in year 12 I’m college and my college does these things called benchmarks, where we have 4 of these through the first year and they sum to your predicted grade by the end.
I do art, economics and maths (🙄) alevels and have been doing okay in art and am aiming for an A grade. Economics will need more effort to achieve at least a B but the Bain of my existence - maths- is giving me horrors. For the last two “benchmarks” I have been getting a C but in my most recent… o turned out with an awful D or even E. I don’t know how to act… will this small test effect me massively?
I want to know if this will mark me down big time in my overall predicted grades… and I also want to ask that if I come out with an AAB in my FINAL exams… will universities accept me at the last minute?
Basically… are predicted grades the end of the world?
Sorry about the waffle but please lmk!!!

With respect to the four tests you do throughout this year, you say "they sum to your predicted grade by the end". If that's the case, then one test result will have a impact on your predicted grade. However, it might not actually impact your predicted grade: they might decide you've done from a "high C" to a "low C", but that'd still be a C prediction, and it's only the letter (not any concept of high or low) which is sent to UCAS.
Unis make their initial offer decisions based upon all the information in your application - of which predicted grades are just a part. However, if you're predicted to achieve ABC and you apply to a uni which requires A*AA, they might decide that you chances of you meeting their requirements are so low as to not make you an offer. So predicted grades are important from that perspective.
If you ultimately achieve much better than you're predicted to achieve, then you have the option of attending the university which you select as your "firm" choice (which likely had a requirement closer to your predicted grades) or to see if you can find a "better" university which still has places left. In which case you could decline the place from the firm choice and apply to the "better" university via Clearing.
