I know this has been touched upon in the yr13 thread on this board and the RG Uni thread in Higher Education, but thought it warranted it's own thread.
There seems to be much confusion around how A level predictions are, or should be, made. Not to mention some very unhappy DC right now.
So, teachers - what's the magic formula?
Should it always be AS grade unless close to boundary?
Should it ever be below the AS grade?
What does a DC have to do to convince they can improve from AS?
Is it more rigid for some subjects than others?
Do resits sway the decision either way?
Parents - have your DC missed out on Uni offers through being over or under predicted?
How have you or your DC persuaded teachers to up predictions to give a better chance of offers?
Admissions - What do you think when you see an application with predictions out of line with AS grades?
Please share.
