I dont think i got above a C in my mocks GCSEs but got 8 above in actual.
I failed 2 of my alevels almost completely at AS but a B and C in them in the final exam

You and 50% of the kids in our year 11. We look for an improvement of two grades typically from mocks to GCSEs. Problem is, if guidance is to not to apply any consideration of this, and their final grade has to be represented by some written evidence then a lot of kids will get crappy grades, have to study over summer and resit in the new academic year.
Or it's all going to be manipulated into the best set of results ever, or... I just don't know what is going to happen.

Teachers going to make up GCSE and A level scores based on magic and best wishes. A-level classes are going to be busy next year!
At our school we have a fairly robust set of ongoing assessment and mock exam scores. Which is all well and good except it's well established that a lot of kids put minimal effort into the mock exams and rely on putting in a good performance in the exams after two months of revision... So some kids are screwed and others sitting pretty.
