The very best I think he could do is 3A*, 3A, 3B.....but could realistically be 3B, 3C (which is not enough to get back in to his school for 6th form)

Absolutely no idea how DD is going to do, she is predicted all A/A*'s but has been saying she seriously wouldn't be surprised if there were only a couple of A's, mainly B's and 1 or 2 C's in there. This came as a shock to me as I didn't realise at the time she had found them that bad!

Another one who has no idea how DD will do. Predicted mainly A*s, As and Bs with Cs in Science and Maths which she hated but tried really hard. She came home after several exams, including ones in subjects she loved and was predicted the highest grades like History and Geography, saying that they were really hard and that she knew she'd messed up on some of the questions. Worst case scenario, and she has done badly, coupled with a negative change in grade boundaries, could spell disaster. I have no idea what she'll do as she is dead set on the 6th form attached to the school and she has not even considered a back up plan.

Our school didnt do predictions I have just gone off the mock results best case scenario is that he moves up a grade in each one from mock would give him the best outcome no idea if that is even possible - do kids move up a grade?.....but then we had a few cock ups on exams (only wrote 1.5 essays when he should have written 3...sow e can kiss goodbye to that one --- he was also so distressed that he was then unable to revise for the next exam - different subject - so another one bites the dust)
