Improve Teacher Assessed Grades
4 - Turn Around Poor Grades
If you are currently predicted grades lower than you had hoped for, all is not lost. Teachers expect grades to improve significantly from January to May.
Ideas to help improve existing grades
Communicate to teachers that you are determined to work hard and improve your current grades by whatever means they recommend.
Proactively hand in additional work to teachers where possible. This will help demonstrate improvements made, providing teachers with more evidence.
If you got a poor grade on a certain piece of homework, ask if you can redo it.
Complete past exam paper questions. Every exam board makes past papers available.
Once you have completed the question, mark it using the mark scheme provided.
By marking your own work, students learn how to get more marks.
Ask teachers to check your marking is on track.
Be sensitive as teachers are stretched at this current time. Make it as easy as possible for them by giving them the appropriate mark scheme. Hopefully, they will be able to give some direction.
