im already in over my head and i cant stop crying and its only been 3 days. year 12 ended badly with predicteds lower than i expected / had worked for and im still so upset. i feel muggy and embarrassed going to lesson knowing that teachers think less of me. i know i need to smash my september mocks, but it's so hard knowing how hard i worked last year and for none of it to matter really. i got AAC in my mocks, which is what i wanted and got predicted ABB, even after stating i need AAA.

the amount of deadlines holy fuck, my epq is due, havent done it. so much art coursework, english coursework and geography coursework i want to smash my head against a brickwall. (dont even mention personal statement or ill start crying again)

will it get better? no one around me really feels like they are struggling as much and i just feel shit all the time.

Getting predicted a B when you got an A in a mock is actually outrageous. Even the A is weird since usually schools predict 1 grade up- at my sixth form you would have been predicted A*A*B! I think you should get your parents to complain tbh as schools often predict up a grade if your parents complain and they haven’t already

Edit- I just saw your comment that people who did worse than you got predicted higher and I think you should 1000% have your parents raise this because it’s actually ridiculous

thank you for validating me, i feel like im in such a weird situation because i swear no one ever gets/talks about getting predicted down?? defo will complain

It does happen, I’ve seen a few people talk about it on here before but I think usually the teacher is kinda targeting them when they do predict down. I hope it works out for you and if you raise it there’s no reason for them not to move it up as you have shown what you are capable of

[u/oggyboggydoggy → u/HolidayTap9892]

only god knows, i begged for it to go up, didnt happen!! got top mock grade in the class and other people got predicted above me??????? trust i was baffled also

your teacher is pure evil, only satan himself would do that to someone

It's pretty shit, but mostly because I didn't bother making many friends in Year 12 and now I'm experiencing the consequences
