The Government should confirm private candidate predicted grades as their final grades and give the option to resit autumn examinations free of cost shall the student not be satisfied with grades awarded. UCAS predicted grades are a great representation of a students potential. This double lock system should be implemented to preserve justice. Private candidates should also get mental and financial support to compensate for their year that has been wasted due to government incompetence.
