slacked in year 12... am i cooked?

I've always been quite a good student (999988776 at GCSE at a pretty average school) but last year i kind of slacked off. didn't use my frees etc. my predicteds are A* AB but i feel that's a bit optimistic... i kind of want to know if its possible to do well (A* A A, hopefully) If i try really hard this year (year 13). also, i go to a steiner school now so we only have 4 hours per a level of lessons a week + 2 two hour free periods. am i cooked??

Its totally possible to still get those grades - if you want it badly enough.

Thank you! 🙂 I'm on a gap year and applying to uni at the moment (well, already) and trying for Oxford, tho that's a bit optimistic perhaps! But I thought I might as well since I had the grades! Also applying to St Andrews, LSE, Durham and Bristol...
