am i cooked - A levels

Hi guys, I have an offer from durham university for japanese language of BBB (contextual)......

.....however, I have a literal 28% attendance in year 13 and my grades are:
A in finance
C in economics
D in psychology
The C and the D are both halfway to next grade, and I have probably only ever done 25 hours total revision in the entirety of sixth form.

AM I COOKED ? IS A 3 GRADE INCREASE IN 52 DAYS POSSIBLE ?
Anyone done this same sort of grade jump, or in the same boat as me? Finance is a free A level, i never have revised it, but psychology and economics are tough for me

You could deffo do it if you put your head down.
I’m doing psych too atm and my grade is fluctuating 😭.
You can start a “grow your grade” page here on the student room so that you can record your revision and be motivated to do sm.
I’ve just started one myself if you’d like to check it out :smile:
