"In 2019, 21% (31,220) of accepted 18 year old applicants met or exceeded their predicted grades, a decrease of 3 percentage points. In addition, 43.2% of accepted applicants had a difference of three or more A level grades – an increase of 5 percentage points (7,190 applicants more) since 2018."
Teacher predicted grades are almost useless.
Now Scotland has caved to political pressure and wants to inflate grades

"However, these grades, taken overall, would represent a significant improvement on previous years - including a jump of 20 percentage points in the pass rate for pupils from the most deprived areas."
"If the results had purely been based on the estimates from teachers, pass rates at grades A-C would have increased by 10.4 percentage points for National 5, by 14 percentage points for Higher and by 13.4 percentage points for Advanced Higher.
These estimated results would have led to a higher annual change than had ever been seen before in Scottish exam results if they had not been moderated by the SQA."

A really difficult situation when what you have to work from is already inaccurate.
