CV AS grades

[mollykins]

For ym AS grades we were given predicted grades in about october, but all of the mock results I got in january were higher, so should I say the results I achieved in the mock exams for biology chemistry and maths were . . . and my predicted grade for geography is . . . .

Molly I don't understand you this AM.

It made sense to me.
Molly-you can state "my predicted grades were...*,*,* and * in Biology,Chemistry,Maths and Geography.
In the mocks I have so far taken,my grades were *,*,and *.
Then it is also apparent that you have improved on the predicted grades.

Good idea pasta, have done :)

Say to who? Who would want to know this?

swaurebear- I assume mollykins is preparing a personal statement as part of an application for a university place. If the information is for a CV to support an application for a temporary summer job I doubt the employer will not really be interested in the predicted/mock grades.

[squarebear]

Exactly, I could predict I was going to win the lottery but I doubt that will happen. Anyone reading a CV will surely be interested in actual achievments?

[factor-fiction]

Oops- I mistyped your name, squarebear; sorry.

Predicted grades are also used for university applications etc

Predicted grades are necessary for university, so you can be offered a conditional place on the basis of your expected results, pending the real results later in the year.

Just writing a CV up for jobs in the summer, UCAS comes at the start of the next school year.

I saw that woman again whose my mums friend with the soon to open cafe, she's employed three full time waitresses, but TBH i'm not sure how big the cafe is but she did say that if it get's busier she'll take me on for a day or two a week and for illness/ holiday cover if it's the school holidays.

If I was recruiting students of your age for summer work in a cafe or shop I wouldn't be interested in their predicted or mock grades. I would look at GCSE grades though, particularly Maths and English. I'd also want to be sure they were reliable, hardworking and honest.
A good letter of application is important. Keep an eye on your apostrophes, mollykins (as you've omitted and misused them quite a bit in your last post).
Good luck.

I pay attention to that kind of thing more when I'm writing formal letters etc factor, but thanks for the tips. :)

Tut, tut, grammar there, Molly. It is etc. not etc and many people fall foul of that one. I know what you mean though.

[DTCwordfan]

And a comma missing too, before factor.

Just being pedantic!
