Hi everyone, I just wanted to ask how important are the mocks in December for AS-Level? Aside from deciding your predicted grades, obviously.
I put all my energy into revising for biology the week before the last, as well as finishing an art application for a magazine, so I've been feeling pretty burnt out the past week.
I have an Eng Lit mock on Monday, Chemistry mock on Wednesday and Psychology mock on Thursday. Psychology is pretty easy to get to grips with but I'm struggling with focusing on revising for Eng Lit and Chem.
I just wanna know, if I do happen to fail or underachieve on some of these mocks, will it have any real long term detriment to my performance or final grade? I've tried consulting with teachers but each one gives a different answer (i.e. my Bio teacher said "it's just to measure your understanding so far so don't worry too much about them" while my Psych teacher said "you'll need to put a lot of effort into them in the scenario in which exams are cancelled again.")
I think we still have mocks in the summer too which should bump up my grade if I happen to fail .. I'm just frustrated with the way COVID has put pressure on new A-Level and GCSE students. But yeah, sorry for my long rant lol.
