Oops !
Or the grades the teachers who taught them most of the year think they deserve. Unless they have wealthy parents then it's the grades they have paid for. That's a much better system for growing your future leaders as current outcomes show.
See above. You get what you voted for. Mugs.

I would recommend reading BFP's fact checking link to the end.
It states that the effect is due to a statistical anomaly rather than ideological bias, and to prove that point is more pronounced in decidedly unTory Scotland than in England. It also basically says there isn't an obvious better way of doing it.
Yeah, all he'll do is post a link to a far left website like Channel4 (snigger) to back up his point.
Seriously, is there anyone on here who wouldn't usually vote Tory but did so at the last election who is happy with the way their party of choice has run the country since Boris became PM?
It says the system favours students in smaller cohorts. Which favours people who go to private schools.
I don’t know about you, but if I was devising a exam replacement system, it would deliberately favour disadvantaged students. I’m no expert though.
GCSE students will be even more disadvantaged.

Must admit that rather lazily I didn't read it in full at first, but I have now.
My admittedly premature response was aimed at the post saying that he wouldn't be able to back up his comment, and while the article isn't cast iron proof that he was right, it hardly discredits it. If you can prove that's wrong please go ahead.
My brothers daughter was predicted A A B and got B B C( no pun intended). Fortunately she has an unconditional offer for Nottingham Uni. It will be appealed. She got A* A* A in her mocks.
My daughter got her predicted grades A* A B she certainly didn't go to any posh school
