@GA2012MOM Point taken. Although it should be noted that predicted scores are the only scores colleges see when making admissions decisions-by the time actual scores are released (in fact, by the time a student sits his exams) decisions have already been sent out.
The only way the final exam scores could come into play is if there’s a significant drop between predicted grades and exams (meaning something in the 5-10 point range at least) without any extenuating circumstances to explain it. In such a case, a university might rescind a student’s acceptance or place it on hold if they suspect that predicted grades were inflated by dishonest practices, or that the drop was due to pure laziness
