Anna Heinrich Quick question about next week AP tests

[Lewis Owens]

Hi Antonella,
Obviously it depends on the calibre of university to which Anna wishes to aspire. Most of the best universities will want as many 5’s as possible spread over the final 2 years. A 5 equates to an A in A Level and a 4 to a B. So, I would maximise the 5’s as much as possible this year, which would be good under her belt when the universities consider making conditional offers. If she already has some 5’s on her UCAS form when she applies it will make it more natural for the school to predict her some more 5’s in her final year, which is what the best universities will want to see.
Best wishes,
Lewis
