current grades is the work you've done on coursework as far as i can recall. potential grades are not accuarate.

You could have an awesome day/week for exams and do much better than your expected grades, but at the same time you could have a shít day/week of exams and do worse than your expected grades.

they are usually taken from your last school exams. like SATS. then compared to your working grades. usually always you go up atleast 1 grade in your tests.

i was predicted a D in all my gcse's, came out with mostly A*'s.

We got ours on mocks we did in winter, and you're meant to get one grade higher than what you get in the mock in the real thing. But it was crap, I got Cs and Ds in mocks and came out with A*s As and Bs... so you dunno till the real thing comes.

Graphics: Is that your predicted grade or current?

On Maths: From your A* on coursework, you already have a D, so even if you dont do the exam you have a D.

gcse mocks are 10x harder than the real ones if anyone hasnt already noticed. they do it to make you revise more.

not really. only a few months ago when i applied for uni i really knew. iv applied for software maintainance. game programming would be good, but the amount of maths and graphics you need to do would go over my head.

ProHunter im in my second year of college(in Ireland systems different to the UK) and I dont know what I wanna be lol

afaik college in ireland, is the same as UNI over here, but you fnish secondary schoolo a year before we do over here. (I have a cousin from ireland who goes to uni over here, and she is a year younger than most ppl in her year, so meh)

Tis fun talking about uni and stuff, cos over here college is a pre-uni thing over here, and my dad gets confused when we mention college, cos he thinks of it as uni, whereas we (me/bro) thing of it as pre-uni.
