Is it possible to turn these grades around

I am predicted BBC currently, is it possible to change these around to AAA-AAB, and if so how do I go about achieving this in year 13
It should be possible if you put the work in. Make yourself a study schedule for the next couple of months,, it doesn't need to be all day every day (in fact, don't!), but spend an hour or two each morning going over stuff you haven't understood or feel you need a refresher on. Once you're back at school/college try and continue this, reading ahead or going back through stuff you've done in class. When you're in the routine of it things will seem a lot easier. Start with the basics and then go from there :smile:
A level is NOT for everyone. You can consider American SAT. It is much easier and is recognised worldwide including the universities in the UK/AUS/CAN/US/Asia/etc etc. All you need to do is to repeat the practice paper again and again until you achieve a high enough score to meet your desired university expectations. You get free access to 6 practice papers on Khan Academy online.

In Malaysia, we have a lot more choices in pre U qualifications, for example, the Australian AUSMAT/SACE/Candian high school diploma where the assessment is 30% on exam and 70% on coursework, American SAT (maybe year 9-10 difficulty, it is multiple choices, the key is speed and accuracy), Foundation (offered by individual university), IB (higher than A level), etc. Unfortunately only A level is offered by schools in the UK.
