Working at AAA but only need AAB

I need an A in maths to get into my firm and insurance, but I've been working really hard to aim for 3 A*s in Maths, Computer Science and Economics.

Maths is not my strong point, but I think I can get an A. Should I push and try to get three A*s or is there no point since I might burn out?

I’m not sure what the difference in workload would be between aiming for the highest grade, both require you to be at a very good level. Psychologically I wouldn’t torture yourself with striving for A* but keep your confidence to achieve what you need

I would say to try and get as high as you can without burning out of course

Work to achieve the best you can, which also includes looking after yourself. You won't perform very well if your work out.

You might decide to take a gap year if your results are much higher than expected.

You clearly have well done - don't forget to give it this last push. I hope you do get 3 A*s

Heya!
I would recommend trying your best to get good results across all subjects :h:

With maths it's all about practice. I would recommend doing past paper questions by topic and ensuring you understand how to approach each question by having your teacher explain it to you or go through the mark scheme. If it helps, Study mind has plenty of free resources!

I hope this helps!
