I definitely feel like you could. im currently on a grade 7 but predicted a 9 . i think we have just just got to make sure to close your gaps of knowledge from mocks. practice these skills then past papers as you are doing maybe give them to your teacher to ask them what they think you should focus on the easter holidays is a chance to boost our grades. I hope you do end up getting that 9.

Absolutely there's time! I'm currently on a 9 for maths, and all you need is regular practice. If you're unsure of which topics you need the most practice in, try noting down the questions that you struggled the most with from each type of each past paper (non-calculator, and then some from calculator papers too), and then searching up worksheets on only those types of questions. This will mean that you don't waste time doing things you already know, especially how GCSEs are really soon. If you don't remember how to do some of those questions, maybe consider the Khan maths videos on YouTube, they're really helpful, and don't take long. Don't worry too much about it, by doing a few maths questions/a maths past paper every single day during April, I'm sure you'll get the 9 you want! Also, try focussing more on paper 1 for the moment, as that exam is first. You will have more time to revise for paper 2 and 3 after, and it'll mean that you feel more confident going into that first maths exam, which helps for the others too. Good luck!
