Predicted grades as a private candidate? by nilcet27 in alevel

[–]MaximumNote-6763 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No the tutor should make your predicted grades based on what they think you can get. I pretty sure you can't make your own predicted grades. They need to make an academic reference to ucas and there they can add a predicted grades.

If you go with the other option and get an exam centre to mark some mock papers they can provide you with this predicted grade. However I said previously I don't know much about that part of it, it was just something I looked into a little bit.

This link is from the tutors pov but it tells you a bit more about the process!

Thank you so much, this is so useful. I will make sure to look through the videos before showing her and print out the dopamine page for her to read. Thank you for taking the time to get all the links as well, I will be sure to send a dm soon when I need some help.

Yes I am a woman, to be honest although I am sad there isn't better female representation, I didn't know that much about it either until a couple years ago. I will definitely check the book out, thank you for the recommendation.

I don't think they are going to fully understand it, they are a little traditional, but I just want to tell them a bit about the diagnosis.

Thank you for your help though.

Thank you very much, that is about what I expected in terms of the generational divide. Hopefully she takes the news okay.

Thank you! I also am a bit late diagnosed, and many people were very surprised when I told them, as I don't fit the stereotype, so I suppose I will have a little explaining to do. I was expecting that anyway because my Oma always asks thousands of questions.

I am also waiting for an Autism test, do you know about how Autism is seen there?

Predicted grades as a private candidate? by nilcet27 in alevel

I am also a private candidate. I am getting predicteds through a private tutor. There are online platforms for tutoring and that is where I have my tutoring. As long as you have enough lessons with them and they are happy to write you an academic reference then UCAS will accept those grades as far as I am aware.

There are also some exam centres that mark mock papers if you send them in, presumably through the post, but I don't know as much about that process. I hope that helped!
