Year 13 Academic Comeback?

Is possible to go from C’s and D’s in Maths and Chemistry in one year with no revision in Year 12 to get possibly A’s and B’s in time for next years A levels?

Yes - you just gotto have the discipline within you and the work ethic - start by revising in your 6 weeks all of your yr 12 content and get a head start on yr 13 content so your not slacking behind - use past papers from both study mind and PMT and actively review topics your bad at , - you could even try to create a Grow your Grades kind of thread to keep track of what you will do each day - Good Luck!

Yes - if you want it badly enough.

Go and talk to relevant teachers before the end of term, and ask for their help and advice - this is exactly what they are there for.

Thanks hopefully I can find the discipline to do so.

How do you understand A-Level chemistry, for some reason I feel like I memorise the stuff rather than understanding

Yes it is very possible but you have to put in the work but if you do you will succeed personally I went from a D in English failed the mock and got an A in final exam so it can be done

Every time someone asks "can I go from XYZ to A*AA" or whatever, the answer is always the same: do the work and find out. If someone said no, what would you do? Just give up entirely?
