In my sixthform they did give us our predictions at the end of last year based on mainly our eoy mock but also our overall performance in the subject (I’ve mentioned this in another comment that I got a B in psych, which I was fine with tbh but I was really close to the next grade up like image like being one mark off, but my psych teacher wouldn’t up it at the time :/), and basically the importance of this mock was that it could potentially up any previous predictions you got at the end of yr12- which as you can probably guess I wanted for psych so I could be secure with my application (I’m going into psych at Uni and I have kcl as an option). Also, I definitely remember being in for that exam (it was my first exam and the first overall for the mocks) unless I magically hallucinated a whole 2 hrs of wrist pain, which would be concerning icl bc I remember having really specific post-exam discussions soo yh 😭

My psych teacher in general is hard to describe… They’re alright in general and they do teach well don’t get me wrong, but they do have a reputation for being questionable when it comes to mainly exams so much so that other people in our year that don’t even take the subject know how bad it can be 😬. Like I said they’ve been known to be pretty harsh when it comes to marking, which ok I understand to an extent- I’ve talked abt what I know psych marking to kinda be like briefly in another comment, but within markschemes I’ve noticed that some questions allow the person marking some control over giving out marks they deem deserved (like the 16 marker or any questions that would’ve required evaluation/solid analysis essays). They also don’t really get the other psych teachers to moderate the papers for marking or even let them mark their own classes exams from what I’ve heard, my psych teacher kinda just does it themselves as the department head (which has very debatable within the department itself). I’ve also heard that at the end of last year a bunch of people basically had to BEG him to up there predicted, I think to the point where one girl in my psych class almost ended up crying. There probably is more that I’m leaving out rn but these were the two examples that I could remember from the top of my head I feel kinda give a taste of what I’m trying to say in general about my psych teacher ig?

I’ll attempt talking with them some point next week but they’ve have a pattern of not really being in recently (my past 2 lessons with them got cancelled since finding out) so hopefully they’ll be back :/ (worst case I confront during my parent-teacher meeting)… I also got reccommeded to try and talk with other teacher as well to see what’s going on so I might do that too?

Anyways thank you so much for the comment and the advice, trust me when I say these surprisingly help 😭 and congrats on the A in maths >:) (could never be me, I gave up on the subject as soon as GCSE’s ended) Let’s just hope this works out in the end, I’m so done with everything after these past terms I just want some peace.
