That’s depends massively on how you find maths and it’s going to be different for everyone. Have you spoken to your teachers about what they think your options could be?

Do you feel comfortable working towards a 5? Do your teachers feel that is achievable? If so, then go for it. But just don’t put too much pressure on yourself :smile:

Have your teachers provided ways for you to improve your grade?

Sorry I didn’t mean if you feel comfortable with a grade 5, I meant do you feel like you can achieve it? If you think you would struggle to get a grade 5 in the mocks, then you might struggle with a higher paper. As I don’t know your individual circumstances, it’s hard to say. The best thing you can do is try your best for the mocks and see how it goes :smile:
