To Not Use Predicted Grades For GCSE/A-Levels as Predictions are unreliable
To not use predicteds as our final grade on our GCSEs and A-Levels as it is unreliable and make sure we can prove ourself with an exam or a mock.
Students don't do well at the start of the year as it is new content we have not learnt before, so it is all new, and this affects our Predicted Grade
Predicted grades are a very unreliable source of getting our final grade on GCSEs and A-levels. Statistically Speaking, Usually, 4 times out of the 5, the Predicted Grade we get is wrong, and students usually do better when it comes towards the end.
I was predicted a 7 (A) In Literature and ended with a 2 (E), and for Mathematics I got predicted 3 (D) and ended up with a 7 (A), Many students do not do well at the start of the academic year as they don't fully understand the course yet.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Decisions about exams are a matter for exam boards and individual schools, not the UK Government or Parliament. You can read the decision made by exam boards on what will happen to exams here:

If you want the Government to review the decision to use previous data to calculate exam grades, you may wish to sign this petition:

As a result of the large numbers of petitions people have tried to start on this issue, and following a large number of questions it received from petitioners about exams, the Petitions Committee asked the Government about the impact of coronavirus on schools and exams.
