i dont get it tho, if you were predicted a 3 how can u get a 7, in fact how can your grade change, wasntyour prediction your final grade?

before covid, people used to actually sit exams and not just be given grades based on teachers' predictions

The school often sets low predictions so they can look good when the pupils achieve higher.

Its nothing but trying to look good.

Yeah that makes sense, it's pretty much what I do, I just use another website which has questions per topic as well as whole past papers. I just struggle hugely with being motivated to revise, my exams start on Monday and then I'm done with school. I generally work at a grade 7 for most subjects but in my mocks I didn't do the best so I need to get, like, 80%+ on my science tests to warrant a TAG of 7. You have any revision tips for low motivation? Like how to get efficient revision in even when in a procrastinating mood? Thanks a ton

Subjects I take at GCSE: (thought it might be useful)
Sports Science
Higher maths
Higher Triple Science
Geography
French
English

Do you still have pictures of notes/flashcards or general revision material you made still? Would be greatly appreciated!
