What predicted grades are

1

A predicted grade is your teacher's estimate of the grade you will achieve in a subject, based on your work and progress. They are used in university applications before final results are known.

2

They are an estimate, not a final result, and they do not replace the grades awarded after the exams.

How teachers decide

Teachers look at coursework, internal assessments, mock exams and classroom performance. Consistent, strong evidence across these gives them a clear picture of where you are heading.

Because the process draws on many pieces of work, steady effort across the course matters more than one strong test.

How students can improve the evidence

  1. Hand in coursework on time, learn from feedback and use mock exams as practice. If a result is below what you expected, find out why and plan a fix before the next assessment.

Where tutoring can help

A tutor can help you work through feedback, fill topic gaps and practise exam technique so that your next assessments show your real level. Tell us your subjects and goals and we will help you find a suitable tutor.
