am i cooked?!!

Guys lowkey i feel like im finished. I've only properly started revising for a levels, first exam is on the 19th (sociology). I do history, politics and sociology. I don't have alot of revsion resources so ive been using seneca and gizmo decks along with blurting to revise. My last mock i got BEE, Sociology is my best subject, politics is in the middle and history is my worst. I need 112 ucas points to get into uni to study law. When applying for uni, my predicted was BCC, in actual mocks i got BDD, im only scared cause the last time i ever got a C in hisotry was start of yr12. Realistically how much do u think i can bump up my grades, is it still possible to get 112 ucas points??

edit: oh also i did get a B in EPQ, idk if that helps??

PLSSS any revision help and techniques will be appreciated!!!

At this stage there’s no time for flashy revision- which may help avoid redundancy.

2 things are all you really need:

1.

A fast, easy way to cram information in- YT videos for essay based subjects can help, as there’s really not that many resources out there+ they’re more engaging+ short( tutor2u maybe) .

2.

Practice papers- every single one you can do, do it- they’re free on the exam boards website- these, of course, will be identical to what is in front of you in your exams( format wise)- focus heavily on exam technique.

3.

You’re not aiming for A*s so you’re content knowledge doesn’t need to be perfect, and less knowledge+ better exam technique usually> more knowledge worse exam technique. With good exam technique alone, you can push towards Bs/ As even if you’re knowledge isn’t perfect. Stick to these two and you’ll get more done in 2 weeks than some have in months. Best of luck.

Note that if you’re Uni uses UCAS points for its offers, your EPQ will contribute towards those.
