mock results!!!

im in AS and did my mocks at the begining of the month and I have just got them back and I got 2D's and 2E's.

Should I be worried or is it too early to worry as I have many months left until the real exams

Definitely don't worry - mocks are there to indicate how to improve, they're not everything! Last year in Sociology AS I got nothing above a C in all of the mocks - right up until exams - and then got an A in the real thing :smile: What subjects are you doing? :smile:

Thanks :smile: I was soooo happy! :biggrin: Which exam board for Psych?
IMO you should be worried. AS exams start in May. I know alot of people who did no revision and at least C/B grades. All of the people who got less then CCCC in thier mocks that i know got the same grades in the exam. You can only revise now, not lots of time to grow your intelligence in terms of capability.
If you did not try very hard then there is time to improve.

If you work harder then you should be able to get decent grades.
If you revised for your mocks then your doing something very wrong or DDEE is your realistic grades as it only gets harder.

Good luck, start revising early!!

Oh yeah, you have enough time for anything then.
But you need to revise alot to get back to an A grade standard then revise now and then.

Could be true but it doesn't apply to everyone. I got a U in the mocks and an A in the real thing. The most important thing IMO is that you learn from the mocks.
