It depends on how your school base their predictions, some base them on mocks/AS exams and some use algorithms, mine uses the latter which is mainly based on GCSE results, it uses the average score of all GCSEs, It's called ALPS and lots of schools use it, how were your GCSEs?

Do you know what method your school uses for predictions? Your overall score is 69 so divide that by ten which is 6.9 which would be a B if ALPS software is used. A B is 6.55 - 7, an A is 7 - 7.5 so it's very close to an A! My school said this can be changed if a student consistently works at a high level and does well in assessments. It could be that your school doesn't use this though??

If you ask your head of year, they will tell you. We had an email early in Y12 explaining how predicted are worked out. Good luck
