GCSE

Hi. I'm currently in year 11 and just got my mock results back, they were bad, really bad. Although I got the same results on my year 10 mocks and don't have a consistent performance I really want to improve. I know people who have gone from 4s and 5s in mocks to all 9s in GCSE. Do you think I can achieve my dream results?

I like how your desired grades are almost straight 9s when they fluctuate about 5s, 6s, and 7s. If not, I admire you ambition.

There are others, but they should more or less say the same things.

In terms of my personal recommendations for maths and sciences: Past papers, ideally under timed conditions and review your answers. Redo the questions until you get full marks, then move onto the next paper.

The only other subject I would be comfortable advising you on would be Art, but then you're already getting at least an 8 in it.
