These are my predicted grades:
English Language 7 (AQA)
English Literature 8 (AQA)
History 7 (Eduqas)
IT D2
Maths 7 (Edexcel)
Science 66 (AQA)
Sociology 7 (AQA)
However, I NEED those grade 9s. Please help me with what resources, techniques, and tricks I should use. I also have mocks in less than two weeks, and I need my report card to have only 8s and 9s. Please help me. And if you're someone who got straight 9s, can you please give me any important piece of advice?
Thankyou in Advance

You're doing well so far! But some tips I would recommend is just practice papers in timed conditions at home. It sounds strange but maybe move your desk or find a place and move it how you think they would position it in the hall. Then imagine yourself there and time yourself. Then mark your paper and anything you can't mark; just ask your teacher to help you with. Also, any topics you know are weak in, NOW is the time to study them well! I remember some topics I didn't study that well and when I went to the exam, none of them were there! 🤪 But it was only ten questions and mainly on physics rather than all sciences so they have changed it this time. In the real GCSE, you won't be as lucky as that so if you don't get something, now is the time to work hard! Good luck, you will be amazing!!! :smile:

Out of curiosity, why do you need 9s? Not that it isn't good to be ambitious and want 9s, but to need 9s is another matter.
Are you wanting to go to Oxford?

Yes, at least that's what I hope. I'm aiming for the Russell Group and Ivy league Universities

Other than science, your grades are good enough for Harvard, you don't need full 9s. Just get science to 77 or 78, and you'll be golden

For almost any university in the UK apart from Oxford, you do not need straight 9s.

I got into the University of Leeds with A*AAAABBBCCC

Even Cambridge does not require straight 9s.

From someone who got 9999999998 in their mocks, getting the top grades is all about practice papers. Don’t neglect the content though - that should be the foundation.
