Predicted BBB

Hey I am a year 12 student at a college and we have progression exams coming up I study Business,Media and Graphics and currently getting B'S in all 3 which is my predicted grade. However for my ideal course at University of Bath I am required to get AAA or A*AB does anyone have any tips on how I could achieve these grades within a month as someone told me that what we get in or progression exam is what we have to give to universities but I’m not sure if this is true

Do you have any AS official exams for ucas predicted grade in your school and what were your GCSEs grades in a whole ?

Its entirely up to each school/college what they use for UCAS predicted grades.
They might use end-of-Y12 grades, or specific mock exams or just teacher intuition.

You still have time to pull your grades up - if you want it badly enough.
Go and talk to specific subject teachers and ask for their help and advice - ask 'what do I need to do...?'
If you work your socks off (really work, don't just play at it), by the end of next term/start of Y13, would they reconsider your grades?

Remember, the UCAS deadline is not until January 2026 and whatever artificial earlier deadline your school sets, you can still apply up to the real deadline date in January. This gives you 9 months to get this all together.

Just be aware that this course requires GCSE Maths and English both at grade 6. And :
GCSE grades are an important part of selection for this course and we typically expect students to have a majority of GCSEs at grade 7 or A.
