can i get a grade 9 in gcse maths if im barely at a 5?

im starting year 11 and my mock grades are not that good. i have mocks in november and would love to get at least a grade 7 in maths and 8s and 9s in other subjects especially chemistry and physics which im also at a grade 5 and 4 any tips :]
Yeah do a **** load of past paper questions. It really does work. If your not good enough at past paper questions yet then learn the topics -> topic questions -> past papers.

Tgmt , maths genie, cognito,physics and maths tutor past paper questions to recognise questions, acknowledge weaker topics and to work on your timing

Ik it's easier said than done but if you start now slowly you'll realise by the time November comes around you've around you've actually done alot
Yes definitely. There’s maths GCSE tutor on YouTube who does videos and question/paper walkthroughs

I got 96% in my maths exam and I’m imploring you to practice questions topic by topic and then starting past papers. Don’t start them too early as they aren’t helpful at that point.
