Pls answer

Actually I came to England 4 months ago and then because of then I was just in year 10 from April 2024 and then because English is my second language I didn’t have time to revise all of the lessons in English for exams
Idk I’ll can move up in during of year 11 or not
Because I really need to move up
But my maths teacher told me I can
But idk about science
And then do you think entry exams for college is importante if I will be in foundation for them?

What are you attempting to achieve by the "move up in during of year 11"?

If your objective is to take the Higher Tier papers in Maths and Science, rather than the Foundation Tier papers, then doing so provides access to GCSE grades 6, 7, 8 and 9 (although you could still get lower grades than that). If you take the Foundation Tier papers the the maximum grade you can achieve in Maths and Science will be 5. That's still considered a "good pass" though. English Language isn't split into Foundation and Higher Tier papers (assuming your exam board is AQA, Edexcel, OCR, etc.).

Have you checked the local colleges to see what their entry requirements are? Are they expecting grades higher than GCSE grade 5?

Do you think move up in the year 11 to higher for maths and science it’s possible?

I have no information upon which to base an answer. Are you doing well in those subjects? Do you tend to score well in end-of-topic tests? How do you find the pace at which the material is covered? A little slow? Too fast? Or about right?
