Your results at GCSE dont mean you're immediately going to be good at a level. Obviously it shows competency but the leap in skills and difficulty is so large people often lag behind at the start of their a levels so don't worry if it feels slow. If you can't retain the knowledge, chances are you're not revising properly. Find a method that works for you, revising the same way as you did at GCSE may not work. Also, practice makes perfect. Use your frees to nail exam technique and ask teachers to explain what the questions mean so you don't answer them wrong. The most important thing with a levels is efficency and effort, make sure you're doing good quality revision and make sure you're making time for your subjects. By the way, they say an A* at GCSE is a E at a level, so I wouldn't worry too much as there's always room to improve.

Just out of curiosity, are you an international student?

My best advice would be to continue looking at past papers. Of course you'll find it difficult at first- I did too! We all start by getting Ds because it's a big step up from GCSE, but the key is to keep familiarising yourself with the style of question they ask. You do this by looking at questions and checking the mark schemes so you understand the kind of answers they expect. Set yourself a past paper each week. In time you'll see an improvement.

Is there anything in particular you're having trouble with?

thanks
can i ask about my questions later whe i faced diffcuilties in them

Don't worrying too much, you've still got time before exams.

Last year when I sat my biology A2 mocks, I got an E on both papers. I got an A grade overall in the end. My problem wasn't about knowing the knowledge, but knowing the best way to answer in order to achieve the marks.

What I did, and what I recommend you do, is do past exam questions(lots) and then mark them yourself using the mark schemes. This way you can get a better idea of what examiners are looking for when they mark your answers and therefore how you should be trying to answer in order to achieve higher marks.

It's weird... all the people who got A*s at GCSE are getting Ds and Cs now, but the people who got Bs and Cs at GCSE are getting As and Bs at A-level. Very interesting....
