Talk to your last school. Most will still allow gap-year students to apply through their UCAS portal and this makes it easier for them to write your reference etc. Most will also give you new predicted grades even though you are no longer enrolled at the school. Email or phone your old Head of Sixth or Sixth Form administrator and ask them asap.

Predicted grades, okay some schools wont do that. But not giving you any help at all with a Uni application? That sounds very unlikely - who actually 'told' you this?

Then phone/email your Head of Sixth asap.
An exams officer will not actually have that much, if anything, to do with UCAS applications and therefore will not be well informed.

Hi there.

What you need is a teacher to either privately given you predicted grades (which they won't do as the school won't allow it) or you need to get a private tutor to do it.

If you've had a tutor for Bio, maybe ask them? It is a common process.

I have done grade predictions before as a tutor so you DM me if you want to know more.

There are centres for private candidates that offer mock exams or private tutors for predicted grades. Check your local centres
