Increasing my A-Levels

Basically, my yr 12 mock results were C (Art) C (DT) and a D (physics). I was really sad because i actually tried but anyway yr 13 is soon and i want to know if it is possible to get those up to at least a BBB or ABB before i need to submit my UCAS i really want to go to UCL but need minimum BBB or ABB for contextural offer. Any tips will be appreciated

For each subject, highlight your weakest points/sub topics; like for physics especially. Revise those topics make flashcards, mindmaps, watch videos, ask for extra help from your teachers and most importantly practice exam questions. They are vital for application. For example, when you've revised a topic, RAG rate it then once you get it higher or feel more confident, try an exam question, or several, based on that topic.

As for art, and DT; I didn't take those myself so I'm unsure of how the grading works. I'm presuming you need to work on portfolios, art work, etc... My advice would be to make sure that you balance your time between the three subjects equally. Create a revision timetable, stick to it; reward yourself for sticking to it such as a day off or something, whatever works for you.

Ask for feedback, highlight where you went wrong and work on that especially.

Hope this helps :smile:
