Im taking A-level physics but not maths

I love physics but I was 8 marks off the requirement for maths, so i have been doing A-level physics for just over 2 months now i got an E in the recent assessment but did a retest and got A* but its not much of an achievement same questions different numbers. Any advice? Do i have a chance?

Hey, honestly I'd say don't assume that you are at the A* standard just yet especially if it were the same questions, and I'm saying that as someone who was getting Ds in Physics just before my Year 12 mocks. One thing I will say though, is that this is completely doable. With the correct materials and focus, you definitely have a chance because from that D, I managed to make that jump myself. If you would like any tips on how to study or revise Physics, let me know!

Keep your head high and try your best. Figure out where you went wrong, speak to your teachers, do extra maths work to support your learning and above all, practice is key so lots of past papers. Best of luck!
