Absolutely possible with hard work!
Forget that, with hard work, you can go from a U to an A* in GCSE.......

Yes, I did it.
What a silly, pointless thread.

Im currently on B/A in all my gcse subjects and was wondering if it is possible to go from a B to A " and if so for subjects like history english and french wahat are the main differences
Abolutely possible if that is your intention. I was at the exact same place grade wise with a lot of b's and a's but my science was getting worse. Once i committed myself to achieving what you just described this was the difference in grades between mocks and mock mocks
Mock mocks:
Biology A,c
Chemustry B,c
Physics B,B
English lit A
English lang D
Drama A* (i got a low B in my first practical but improved that to an A* with only 2 marks lost)
Music A mid
History A
Spanish A* and B
Mocks
Chemistry A, B (both a couple of marks off higher boundary)
Biology A, D close to a c (had very little time ti study for this one)
Physics A(two marks off A*) B
English lit B
English lang A*
History A, A*
Music A 5 marks off A*
Drama A
Spanish A* A
You'll encounter problems with or surrounding the study if there have been any there before( there may not be), but as long as you know what you need to do to get a certain result the rest is just keeping going and not compromising on what it is you want to achieve.

If you work at it, it's definitely possible!
With belief and a little bit of pixie dust anything is possible!
But seriously long hard revision can push your grade up easily. B to A* is only two jumps, big jumps but it's possible.

I failed my maths prelim and managed to get an A in my final, so definitely!!
I started year 11 with an E in RE, walked out with A*, so yes, its fully possible
A friend got a D in her February-March Chemistry mock and ended up with an A* in 2 months, so yes - anything is possible.

These are all very impressive! What tips would people recommend to improve your grades over a short period of time?
What tips would people recommend to improve your grades over a short period of time?Practice papers, especially for science subjects.
You can definitely go from a B to an A* in a year! The best way to prepare would be to read your textbook and then do some past papers. I recommend going back four years and doing all the past papers from then - so go back to the 2012 papers and work your way up to the present year. This has always worked for me anyway. You can definitely get to an A*, so don't be discouraged - good luck!

What tips would people recommend to improve your grades over a short period of time?For my RE improvement I read the bible. In my papers you get could maybe 60-70% of the marks with enough semi relevant bible quotes, so I just learnt a load.And learn the answer formatting. Thats really it.

YEAH! If you're willing to put in the work, you can do a lot in 1 year. Just make sure you study smart and not hard.

By studying smart not hard do you mean, doing past papers and actuallly testing if I am capable of doing questions in relation to a certain topic instead of just reading the material over and over again?
