Is 4 months enough time to get a 7 in GCSE Maths and Chemistry

I'm studying from scratch and plan to utilise the summer (until November) to revise for GCSE Edexcel Maths and IGCSE Chemistry. I am doing this because I am a mature student mother (22 years old) who wants to start the Access to He: Medicine course next year. Please can I be advised whether jumping from a 3 to a 6/7 is possible within this timeframe? for IGCSE Biology I am not taking it until next May/June due to the amount of content I will need to memorise.

Any advice will be incredibly helpful.

It’s been a while since I did my GCSE’s (I was meant to sit them in 2020, but then covid came along), so my memory is a little fuzzy on this.

I imagine it’s perfectly possible, though it depends on what revision strategies you use and which resources you use.

Definitely attempt past exam papers and questions if you can.

I did the UK specification of Edexcel GCSE chemistry, so I haven’t verified how good the resources for iGCSE chemistry are. However, I am aware of the following resources that may be of some use to you:

(Note that some resources on savemyexams are not free and I probably wouldn’t bother buying them if you are only spending 4 months preparing).
