Mock politics awful grade

Just received my last politics grade .
I have gone down to c from a A since Christmas. I have no idea how I am going to get back to a A.
Anyone help with best revision practice my teacher at present is not being particularly helpful and my other teacher left at Easter.
Moved to A-levels forum.

How have you been revising for politics?
I did A-level RS (so a different essay based subject) and I found that making mind maps for each topic was helpful, and flashcards for key quotes and facts. I'm not particularly familiar with A-level politics so I am tagging in @erin11 who I know did politics.

Go and talk to the relevant teacher asap. Ask them what you are doing wrong, and what you can do about it.
There is still time to turn this around. A mock exam marked at school does not mean that you would therefore get the same grade in the real exam, so do not just give up. This is the point to put in some hard work and get the grade you want.
