Hi,
I am currently in Y11 and I really want to get all 9s in my GCSE.
I did my mocks recently and I have finally received all the exam papers and the grades.
The following are my grades (+ - show how far I was into the grade, 9+: 90% - 95%, 9++: 95%<):
Maths - 9++ (full marks in paper 1, which I was over the moon about)
Further maths - 9+ (again full marks in paper 1, but I messed up paper 2)
English language - 7+ (1 mark under the 8 boundary, quite unfortunate)
English literature - 8+ (3 marks under 9 boundary, again big L)
Physics - 9+ (I was really happy with this lol, I want to do a level physics)
Chemistry - 9-
Biology - 9-
Computer Science - 9-
French - 9+
German - 8 (I was quite gutted with this as I am actually good at german)
Design and Technology - 7+ (I'm hoping my coursework carries because I am no good at the theory)
I just want to know how many grades people go up by from the mock in the actual GCSE.
I am also wondering whether it is usual to get a lower grade in the actual GCSE. I am worried about this because in chem and bio, I was on the grade boundary.
Last question: Can I get all 9s with these grades in the mocks?
(Any advice on how to revise for DT theory paper would be helpful as well.)
