Is 3 months to study for year 12 mocks a good time?

I’ll be honest the current grades I’m sitting at right now are CCD and I know I can do better but I need motivation to actually get the work done so is 4 months to study for the end of year mocks a good amount of time?

Yes. Start now and throw yourself at it! If you work hard every day from today, you can make big improvements to your grades. You need to be ‘on it’ though. If you leave it much longer before you start then you won’t have much of a chance of upping those grades. You need to know which areas you are weakest in and start with those. They will probably be the topics you like least but you must do them and then do them again in a few weeks. Make a revision timetable and stick to it. Use your time wisely and in a way that works for you (my daughters study for half of most of their lunchtimes and stay on in the school library and study for 2 hours after school so that they don’t have to study at home in the evenings but you might be the opposite and prefer evening working). They then do some work (usually completing and marking past papers) over the weekend. Use the mark schemes of past papers to really understand what will get you marks. Every mark counts so even small progress will make a difference. Take your past papers into your teachers and get their help with at least one really tricky question/topic every week. Remember to take regular breaks but then get back to it. Start today!

Hey by end of year mocks do you mean as levels and do they decide your predict ucas grade. I had my Jan mocks but I have my real as level exams this summer and I don’t know how predicted grade works tbh. What was your GCSEs like btw too?
