Mock Exams

Mock Exams for Predicted Grades

Mock exams replicate real exam conditions, helping students become familiar with exam structure, timing, and question styles. This can reduce anxiety and build confidence ahead of the final examination.

Where formal exams are disrupted, mock exam performance may also be used to help inform teacher-assessed grades or support applications for access arrangements.

Our mock exam services are available to all learners who wish to assess their current performance. We can also provide predicted grades for UCAS applications, based on the results of mock exams taken at our centre. Predicted grades for UCAS applications are provided exclusively for candidates registered at our centre, and all candidates entering for examinations with us receive free support with their UCAS application.

If you wish to sit mock exams for the purpose of obtaining predicted grades, you must book in line with the schedule below. Unfortunately, we are unable to accommodate requests for predicted grades where candidates do not meet our booking deadlines.
