In this guide, you’ll learn:

• How Educo London provides predicted grades + references

Let’s dive in.

What Are UCAS Predicted Grades?

Predicted grades are the grades a teacher or tutor believes you are most likely to achieve in your final A-level or GCSE exams.Universities use these predictions to decide whether to offer you a place.

A good predicted grade can:

• Strengthen your university application

• Open doors to higher-tier courses

• Boost your confidence heading into exam season

But what happens if your school or current tutor can’t give you one?

Why Students Come to Educo London for Predicted Grades

Every year, we support students who:

1. Have decided late to apply for UCAS

Maybe you weren’t planning to apply this cycle… until you changed your mind. No problem — we can help.

2. Have a tutor who cannot issue predicted grades

Not all tutors are qualified or willing to give official grades for UCAS. Educo London can — as long as you complete the required assessment process.

3. Need a structured, fair, and evidence-based prediction

We assess you using mock exams + examiner-style marking, so predicted grades are accurate and defensible.

Can Educo London Provide Predicted Grades for UCAS?

Yes, we can.

Depending on when in the academic year you join us, we offer two pathways:

Option 1: Tutoring + One Mock Exam (Per Subject)

Recommended for students who start earlier in the year. You receive ongoing tutoring support and a full mock exam to provide evidence for your prediction.

Option 2: Two Mock Exams (Per Subject) Without Tutoring

Ideal for students joining later in the year or closer to deadlines.This gives us enough data points to issue a fair, accurate predicted grade.

Once you complete your assessments, we provide your predicted grade within 7 days.

Do You Also Provide My UCAS Reference? Yes, We Do.

According to UCAS guidelines, the person or organisation providing the predicted grades is responsible for writing your reference.

Here’s how we do it:

1. We send you a short questionnaire

2. You answer a series of prompts about your strengths, achievements, study habits, and goals

3. We create a professional, personalised UCAS reference based on your answers

4. We submit both the predicted grades and reference together

This ensures consistency and a strong application.

Where and How You Sit Your Mock Exams

Where:

You sit your mocks online, 1-to-1, with a live invigilator.
