4. When Is the Deadline to Request a Change?

Timing is crucial. Most schools lock in predicted grades 1–2 months before the final IB submission deadline (usually mid-year in Year 2). If you want to request a review:

• Do so early—ideally before university application submissions
• Prepare supporting documentation ahead of time

Refer to RevisionDojo’s predicted grade appeal timeline for specific windows and strategies.

5. What Happens After Submission?

Once predicted grades are submitted to the IB and UCAS (or other university platforms):

• They cannot be changed
• Your focus should shift to improving final exam scores
• If your final grades exceed predictions, universities might reconsider

FAQs

Can the IB override a school’s predicted grade?
No. The IB accepts only what the school submits.

Do predicted grades impact final IB scores?
No. Final scores are based on exams and IAs—but predicted grades matter for university offers.

Can I explain low predicted grades to universities?
Yes. Some application portals allow for a “contextual” note from your counselor.

Conclusion

You can’t appeal predicted grades directly to the IB, but you can request a review through your school—as long as you do it early and support your case with strong academic evidence. Communication and preparation are key.
