An end to Predicted Grades?

Labour has said that it would scrap university places being offered on the basis of predicted grades and bring in a system of applying after results, calling the current system "deeply unfair". Research by the Department for Business Innovation and Skills in 2011 found that 51.7% of predictions were accurate, with 41.7% being over-predicted and 6.6% under-predicted. Black applicants had the lowest percentage accuracy with only 39.1% of grades accurately predicted, while white applicants had the highest-grade prediction accuracy at 53%.
