Yes if you do lots of questions and review thoroughly theres no reason that wouldn’t be possible :smile: What kind of score are you getting now? And how are you practicing and reviewing questions?

definitely very possible if you do lots and lots of times practice questions and if you have enough left I would strongly suggest doing full exam mocks everyday until your exam. Before mine I was getting 2400-2500 sometimes 2700 but honestly the best way to go forward is to completely ignore the full score and just go through the questions you got wrong in depth and think about how you felt when you did the section.. eg did you feel extremely rushed, did you not understand how to do the maths in a QR question etc. the minute I decided whatever I got in full mocks wasn’t as important as consolidating my mistakes and practicing doing the questions without the answers was when I had a better mindset and went into the exam with a can do attitude and completely focused on the exam I was doing and nothing else :smile:
