A study by the University and College Union says no other developed country uses forecasts of results for university admissions and that in 2016 only 16% of predictions for three A-levels or equivalent were accurate. UCAS says that the most recent figures suggest that predicted grades are usually higher than the actual results, with 73% of applicants doing less well than forecast. The UCU report calls for an 'urgent overhaul' of the application system, so that pupils would know their actual exam grades before making their final applications.
