In my year, I and one other student had to go significantly beyond the support provided to get the grades we needed. I studied one A-Level entirely outside school as they couldn't make the timetable work, and then added another to be done in a year (typically a two year course) because my school had given me bad advice about which were required. If it were this year, and my school were known for overpmarking, I'd face getting downgraded for something I had no control over. I was predicted, and needed, the top grades (AAA) in specific subjects, and even dropping to AAB would mean not getting into my university of choice. It can be a kick in the teeth for anyone who has put the extra effort in.
