For some people it’ll be easy, for some people it’ll be hard. I know you don’t wanna hear this but it does depend on you, just try your best!

Some advice that I can give you tho and I sat the papers last year. For computer science 90 percent of questions are the same as the past papers so learnt hem inside out and you'll be fine. For chem make sure you know every mechanism but the hard part is taking that mechanism and using it for example they use in the question. Paper 2 is harder than 1. Make sure you know the bone harder cycle comes up every year. Make sure you know all the formulas

These are very attainable grades if you put the work in. Nothing comes without making an effort so, I would recommend doing past papers, exam questions, using flashcards and blurting as these are all excellent active recall methods. By incorporating all of these into your revision, you should be able to achieve these grades and remember, consistency is key!

61% of maths students achieve a B or higher, 45% of CS students get a B or higher & 84% of physics students achieve a D or higher.

Although it is all macro data so doesn’t really serve any useful purpose of predicting how easy or challenging you will find it.

It’s all publicly available data via google with subject & grade breakdowns.

Id note just be careful with data from 2020-2022 as that is heavily skewed by covid inflation.

I got into law with English law at the University of Aberdeen with BBD on results day...clearing is always worth a shot and you may end up in a better university than your firm offer anyway (like me).
