CCC to AAA ? Year13

is this possible with a-levels starting in May?

A-levels are Biology, Geography, Environmental Science

I haven’t really put much effort in but am ready to dedicate myself completely now

please share experience if something similar applies to u, if it’s possible at all, and the best ways to revise these subjects, how much revision i need to do in a day…

thanks!

It will be difficult to achieve those grades. You absolutely need to put the work in now. I would say do no more than 7 hours of revision in day (when you are not in school) as you will start to lose focus otherwise.

For geography I make flashcards and mindmaps (they are especially good for case studies). For biology I make flashcards and do as many practise questions as I possibly can. If you can't find enough exam questions, it may be worth asking your teachers for some.

i think with geography it’s possible and possibly the others to at least boost to a b, if you specialise and push hard in the areas you’re not awful in but not best in, it would be a lot harder if you focus on areas you really don’t get.

how come you need to achieve so high?

Have you firmed unis yet that require high grades?
