Need a predicted grade for university, UCAS, or sixth form? Here’s how predicted grades work for online A Level students, what’s required, and how Study from Home can help you get the grades you need.

What Is a Predicted Grade?

A predicted grade is an estimate of the grade you’re likely to achieve in your A Level exam, based on your progress so far. Predicted grades are often required for UCAS university applications, college admissions, and sometimes for job or visa applications.

Can Online A Level Students Get Predicted Grades?

Yes—if you are studying your A Level through Study from Home and you need a predicted grade (for example, for your UCAS application), you can request one from your tutor.

When and Why Do You Need a Predicted Grade?

• To submit a UCAS application to UK universities (typically required in the autumn before your exams)
• For sixth form or college admissions (where you have not yet completed your A Levels)
• For employers or visa applications that require proof of academic progress

How Are Predicted Grades Decided?

• Based on the work and assignments you have completed during your course
• Your marks and progress in tutor-marked assessments
• Consistency and engagement with your online studies
• Honest professional judgement from your tutor—always in your best interest

How Do I Request a Predicted Grade?

• Contact your tutor or support team as soon as you know you need a predicted grade (ideally at least 4–6 weeks before the deadline)
• Ensure you have completed enough assignments or assessments to give a fair reflection of your ability
• Provide any relevant forms or instructions (for UCAS, we can submit directly to your referee section if needed)

Important Things to Know

• We can only provide a predicted grade if you have completed a reasonable amount of your course and submitted marked work
• Predicted grades are an honest reflection and not a guarantee of your final result
• Universities may ask for additional information if you are an independent/private candidate
