December Mocks Y13

I just got BDD in my mocks at the start of December and I'm predicted AAB, B in Maths and As in Econ and Geography.
The courses I've applied for need either AAB or AAA

I got a B in maths and Ds in Econ and Geography

I must say I did not revise for these mocks, I crammed only a week before because all of November was consumed by my UCAS application , Geo coursework and school Iceland trip. I literally gave in my UCAS 5 days before my mocks began, so these aren't grades I achieved with actual effort put in, which I guess would kind of be even worse.

Maths and Econ are definitely my biggest concerns - geography used to be my filler subject but I have defo gotten complacent and fallen behind

It's still disheartening despite me knowing I wasn't gonna do great as I hadn't properly revised. Do you think there's enough time to make the jump needed?

Some of my teachers also don't seem sure, though they say my GCSE performance (998888877) shows I definitely could get my minimum expected grades of AAA

Is it possible?

You have plenty of time to improve, as you said yourself, you did not really revise for these mocks so they are not an accurate reflection of what you are capable of. Just keep being consisent with revision especially for topic tests and good luck!
