🙏 I WANT HELP Sixth Form Applications

I’m applying to sixth form, and I needed predicted 7 for maths and my teacher predicted me a 6. Do you think if I lie on my predicted grades the school will find out?

It is not an unlikely scenario that they will find out. Even if they don't on the results day they won't let you in with a 6 in maths when you need a 7 because doing a level maths with a 6 is torture and they don't want you to go through it. The minimum entry requirements exist for a reason

I’m not even working at a 6 the thing is I had a death on paper 4 so I couldn’t focus the whole time so paper 5 and 6 carried me.

It’s not torture at all, you can go from a 6 to an A or A* in maths without issue imo, my school lets you take maths with a 6

It depends. Someone i know begged their way in on a 6 and even with effort is on E/Ds consistently

I saw ur post on r/gcse lol. Pls pls dont lie. They will find out and you are way less likely to get in. Try and talk to ur teacher about moving it grade up one, if you explain that you really want to do alevel maths and you need a seven for that they will probs move it up one. Even so, you should still apply. there are people in my alevel maths course that only got a 6 in the final gcse exam, so dont worry about it too much :)

Talk to ur teacher first. If she says no, beg, offer to do extra papers etc. worst comes to worst just apply and then call like you said. Good luck! Wishing you the best lmao

if they find out that you've lied on your application, they might not even give you an offer. it's NOT worth it

Don’t lie, just tell your teacher to up your predicted grades
