Benefiting from the fruits of your A level exam revision
When your A level exam revision is finally complete and the final exams have been sat, you are left hoping that your grades will be sufficient to get you into the university of your choice which you probably applied to at some time as early as the previous summer.
The offer of a university place currently (August 2009) relies heavily on your predicted grades – a system which John Dunford, general secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders (ASCL) said is flawed.
His comments came immediately before A level students in England received their 2009 results, and after he wrote a letter to business secretary Peter Mandelson requesting that proposals for a post-qualification application system should be discussed with a sense of urgency.
Of the present system, he commented, "It is far too dependent on predicted grades and on choices made by students months in advance of the start of their courses.
"Post-qualification application avoids these problems and brings a greater degree of fairness to the applications process. It will also help students from families with no background in higher education to aim high when they achieve good A-level grades."
Pupils who take an A level exam revision course with Justin Craig would probably benefit from a post-qualification process as we have a strong history of attendees who achieve better than predicted grades.
