Hey there,

I would say going from an E to B is a really long jump and that means lots of time spent in revision and probably some personal time cut too. I really know how hard it is to hear after having done the exams recently. But in terms of what you could do, here are a couple of things:

1.

Practise, practise, practise; especially with Maths, practicing past paper questions linked to your challenging topics and learning from your mistakes, makes you more refined in terms of your approach to questions.

2.

Focus and revisit on challenging topics; the topics that you get consistently wrong try to understand the concept and idealogy and make sure that you are confident before reattempting questions.

3.

Use your peers and teachers for help! They will be there to always support you.

I know it's quite generic but I will be running some tutoring sessions (after half term), where we could go over topics that you find challenging and tackle past paper questions...

Please do let me know if you are interested, otherwise best of luck for your exams in the near future!

FYI, I am a gap-year student who achieved an A in Maths A-Level.
