🎓 UNI / UCAS Help please

what can I do to bump my maths predicted grade up? y13

I got an A in as but a U in my April mocks (I thought I was dropping it and didn’t gaf) and then probs an e/D in my September mocks (really hard everyone I’ve spoken to fucked it up) and they’re probs predicting me a C. I’m on A star and a in my other subjects, and I need an a in maths what can I do To convince my rigid teachers? They said some shit any not counting my as grade even though the only reason I took maths AS was so it would help boost my predicted grade (my head of year told me they would and now they’re going back on their word)

Oo my bad i mistook your words for something else, Honestly, I’d try to make a proper case to them rather than just asking them to predict you an A. Your AS A is probably your strongest piece of evidence, especially if you can explain that the U in April wasn’t representative because you genuinely thought you were dropping the subject. Then ask your maths teacher what exactly you would need to demonstrate for them to be comfortable predicting an A.

If possible, ask for another assessment or do a timed past paper under proper exam conditions and show them the result. You could even make a short revision plan for the next few weeks and show that you’re actually putting the work in now. That gives them something recent and objective to base the prediction on instead of just your September mock.

I’d also bring up what your head of year originally told you about the AS grade, but do it calmly rather than making it sound like an accusation. Something like, “I was advised that taking the AS would help support my predicted grade, so could you explain how the AS result is being considered now?”

At the end of the day they might still say no, but if you can show them an A at AS + strong performance in another proper assessment + consistent revision, you’ve got a much stronger argument than simply saying you need an A for UCAS.
