Teachers' predictions will be used for grades in exams stopped by the coronavirus outbreak.
Paul Whiteman, leader of the National Association of Head Teachers, said there was no"perfect solution".
In Wales and Northern Ireland, details are expected to be published later with plans for cancelled exams But they will also be asked to put students in order of expected achievement within each predicted grade band.This could mean adjusting the grades suggested by teachers if they seem too generous or harsh, or unlikely in the context of previous results at a school - and to make the overall distribution of grades consistent with other years.
The results will be available to students no later than the planned dates in August - but Ofqual suggested that they may be available sooner.There have been proposals to have an alternative exam that pupils could take in the autumn - with Ofqual saying arrangements have still to be confirmed.
