you can absolutely still do well. over the summer, I would make sure to remember it's a break and don't overwork yourself. studying for maths will always just be practicing exam questions and watching videos (i recommend the YT channels TLMaths and ExamSolutions). (chemistry and compsci I don't do but as they are sciences, make sure you really get the content). Focus on your worst topics for the last tests and really pinpoint where you need to improve. anymore questions pls ask. hope this helps :smile:

hi, Math is usually easier to move up a grade because that 1 or 2 marks is worth more than the same number of marks in different subject areas. If you decide to take maths seriously then I think you could achieve even a B or maybe an A. For chemistry I cannot really comment on that but I hope you do your best

You would quickly notice from the above that a lot of the advice focuses on past papers and tailored revision based on your weaknesses. The idea is to maximise in the areas where you can make the most improvement, as opposed to sticking to your strengths.
Once you have completed all the past papers for your specific exam board, move on to others to improve your practice.

Do note, the above is only from the first page of Google. There would be others as well on YouTube.

I recommend watching the videos and see what works for you. Once you have found what works for you, I would then stick to what works, since consistency matters a lot for revision. Do start early; it would save you from a lot of stress.
