Questions for GCSE

What subjects should I take? What sort of grade should I be

aiming for in each subject?

Yellis Chances Graph for Band B in Maths

a) You are predicted to achieve a grade B.

b) You will probably have to work very hard to get an A.

c) Because your Yellis score is towards the top of this band, you should start by looking towards the top of the chart to set your target.

d) There’s very little chance of you getting an A*.

e) Don’t relax, because 31% of last year’s GCSE candidates got a C grade or less in your ability band.

f) It doesn’t matter if your work has been on the A/A* boundary this year; this graph shows you’ve got no realistic chance of an A*.

Questions for GCSE value-added

What’s the overall picture (more blobs below or above the line)?

Which grades represent good/poor value-added?

What’s the picture for each ability band? Who are the outlying individuals and why? What’s the longer-term trend? Has what we have done made a difference? What could we do that will make a

difference?
