Another U to A* forumm or whatever you call it!!!

Aloha! basically doing AQA Economics, Edexcel Maths, OCR A chemistry.
I got CCD in year 12 end due to a lot of other factors especially not taking it seriously.
In year 13 in my last mock I got: C in econ U in chemistry ( but everyone in the whole year didn't get above a D except a few exceptions) and a B in maths

I actually in my stats and mechanics in the beginning of year 13 got a U which was very nice of course :rolleyes:

.
I'm aiming for A*A*A. I kind lack motivation tbh after getting **** grades and have trouble being consistent but I have and am trying to.
Currently mainly struggling with economics since the teachers have capped me at a C and have said that its impossible for me to get an A. I wanna shove an A and prove them wrong.
I come from a very working class family and live around 2 hours of school aswell which affects everything alot.

If anyone has any tips if anoyone ever comes around to reading this please feel free to just tell me especially in econ. I just dont understand macro thats it.
gonna be posing alot here btw trying to keep weekly updates

edit: HIII,
ok soo... I just logged back in and I completely forgot about making this lmao. Well... I ended up with AAB. honestly I was so flipping surprised that in the first physical paper I was 2 marks off A* and then my last paper pulled it down to an A. I go qmul now and do maths!

Adapt: when things get hard and you’re not seeing any results, change your methods until you find one that suits you.

Overcome: you solve your initial problem (i.e not getting the grade you want) by adapting.

SOOO!!!! HMMMM basically on CCC/BCC right now. I have mocks in 2 weeks after holidays I wanna get at least AAB to be even able to get close to what I want. Have motivation but a physical work paralysis idk if that make sense of like yhhhh that.

I'm just trying to fine a balance between memorising and exam practice because I'm stick on Cs and Bs because I lack enough exam oractise and if that's the case then tough questions.
Idk man just yr13 is stressful with many mental breakdowns and idk if anyone gets it where like you think you can get the A in idk chem then something happens so your like nah not chem but maths.
Anyways enoyhj of the waffle I realised I need to know the course inside out for econ and chem especially and maths be aware of all the type of qs. Lmao I haven't even touched applied yet. Ff
