What are people's views experience on this?
DS's school want to downgrade two of his predicted grades ( from A A A A to AAAA) on the basis of a 2 internal exams he did at the end of last year. He was also doing 2 AS levels at the same time, so understandably didn't do as much revision for the school exams as had thought they 'didn't really count'.
DS thinks he could still get all the As and he does have form for pulling out the stops in the final months - some of his GCSES went from C to A between mocks and summer. Ended up with 10 A*s.
School say it's best not to have too high predictions as Unis may ask for them, but I've never heard of this happening?
The highest required grades for his course are AAA but this is Oxbridge but I can't help feeling he'd be at a disadvantage up against kids with straight A predictions?
Should he be fighting for the higher predictions, or is there a reason why this would be a bad idea?
