Disappointing Mocks

Hey guys can you be real with me? I think I'm smart and work hard but I got A*BD in my year 2 mocks, is there any chance at all I'll get my AAB or AAA?

Year 2 mocks? Shapes and colours?🤣
Just kidding, you should be able to get the grades you want, let this scare you into studying harder and it will also let you know the areas you need to study the most. I'd say the hardest part about studying is doing the things you aren't good at until you get good, so make sure you do that.
As well as this, mocks are usually a little bit harder than the final exams as they need to be more specific if they haven't yet covered the full curriculum, so you don't have to worry too much.
Basically just start studying hard now until you are confident in everything and then go and do your best in the final exam!
Best of luck!

If I were in your position, I'd just do past paper questions over and over until I can remember the exact answer. The more questions you do, the more you start to see a pattern in the answer for it and as a result, you get more right.
Learn the theory through flashcards, whatever, then do past paper questions.
Best of luck!
