Predicted grades can shape your next steps: sixth form, university, and job applications. The good news? With the right approach, you can match - or even beat - them.
Know What Predicted Grades Mean
Predicted grades come from your classwork, homework, mocks, and how consistent your teachers think you are.
If you are predicted an A or A**, you need to put in top-level effort. If you are predicted a B, the same applies — you get out what you put in.
Use Grade Boundaries as a Guide
A powerful way to plan is by looking at grade boundaries.
Check previous years to gauge the standard. For example, if last year an A** required 70%, you need full confidence with at least 70% of the exam board specification.
✔️ The higher your target grade, the more of the specification you must master.
Work Through the Specification Step by Step
Do not revise randomly. Go line by line through your exam board’s specification.
- For GCSE: learn every bullet point.
- For A-Level: apply knowledge to real exam questions.
✔️ Revise Right has broken down each specification so you can focus on learning, not organising.
Revise Smarter, Not Harder
Highlighting alone will not cut it. Instead:
- Use active recall with flashcards
- Test yourself with past papers
- Practise applying knowledge under timed conditions
Learn From Mistakes
Mocks and practice questions are there to show you what to fix. Keep a mistake log and revisit it until you can solve the same problems under pressure.
Conclusion
Predicted grades are not about luck. They are about matching your effort to grade boundaries and covering enough of the specification with confidence.
✔️ Revise Right gives you everything in one place — flashcards, worked examples, past papers, and notes to help you revise smarter, not harder.
