do you mean yr12 mocks when you say “a level progression exams?”

I’m studying history so i admit I don’t know that much about accounting/finance, but are you sure all universities require AAA? I had a look and Manchester Met offers accounting and finance for BCC - I know it’s not a very good uni but I’m sure that you can find others.

Your college should be taking your progress in Year 13 into account anyway, and can send off your UCAS application as late as January 2024. If you’ve improved a lot by then, they’ll probably raise your predicted grades

Also, if there is a legitimate reason for your grades being lower than you think you can achieve, tell your head of year/a teacher and they might raise your predicted grades. Personally, I got diagnosed with ADHD in the middle of Year 12, so I said my performance would improve once I got medication/extra time in exams, so they raised my grades despite the fact I did pretty badly.

For now the most important thing is to revise as much as possible - if you’ve improved drastically from your last assessments, your college will take it as a good sign

Hi escapethematrix

I would say best advice would be to try your hardest and see what grades you acheive overall as other unis will allow you to study with lower grades so it is worth a look around unis.I would set a revision timetable so that you can have time to study but also have time to socialise with friends and family as the worst think to do is drain all your energy out leading to lower grades.

I am a 3rd Year accounting and Finance student at UCLAN and as part of the course they offer a foundation entry which means if you dont get the grades required to complete the full course you can add a extra year on which would then lead to the course you wanted to study. At UCLAN the entry requirement for the course is 104-112 UCAS points which equates to BCC or BBC.

Best Wishes

Heya!
How do you currently revise? Do you do flashcards, practice questions and take notes? When doing past papers, do you go through the mark scheme and identify why you have lost the marks and how you can improve your answer? Perhaps look into that if you haven't :h:
