Maths mock fear

13

For the entirety of this winter break I have prioritise maths over my other A-levels however due to getting a D in year 12 mocks, I’m so terrified of my performance this time round since alevels are in 4 months. Due to my poor grade last time I spammed maths in the summer break and I was able to bring my grades up to an A and B however these were topic tests, no doubt they were hard exam questions but it wasn’t a full mock and my mock is in less than a week and I’m going to start doing past papers since I was perfecting my faulty skills however is there any tips from high scorers I could use?

It seems like you're doing exactly the right thing. Practice is what yields top results and it looks like it's working. Keep with what you're doing now and look at your grade and and exactly what you got right and wrong to know what's fine and where to target your revision. For now it looks like you're on target to get a good grade in your mock, I don't think you have anything to worry about

Do the past papers to time and then anlyse your gaps in understanding.

When practisng questions do not jump to the mark scheme, struggle for a while then come back to it later. Getting unstuck is vital to improve.
