hey, I got all nines so it's possible, but probably not a reasonable goal to set for yourself. Is there any particular reason why you want all nines? It won't harm uni applications if you have a few eights thrown in there as well

this is easier said than done but try your best not to worry, and if your stressing about 7's for year 10 mocks then its possible for you to get all 9's in the actual exams. Focus on these mocks first before stressing about yr11 mocks and just don't worry too much its like the worst thing to do.

if your on a 7 you have more than enough time to improve and get a 9 by yr 11 mocks. Lock in now so your less stressed in year 11.

heyy! nice to meet y'all. li'm in y12 now and i wanna emphasise the most important thing is to start early like you guys did in y10 and so NOT burn-out in y11. i did (kinda forgot exam boards): maths, physics, econ, chem, bio, eng lit, eng lang, history, geo, german at gcse.

it was a lotta work ngl. for maths sciences econ history, and english i got myself a tutor (these guys in the year above me at school - they were pretty good for the price - 20 an hour - and i managed to get all 9s thank god: lmk btw if anybody wants to be put in contact with them)

if you have any other general questions please feel free to ask me. i loved using seneca, savemyexams, pmt, tutor2u (for econ), and recommend using pomodoro revision and writing out good notes to learn from closer to exams! obvs past papers help as well, but its important to work smart not only hard too don't forget that. GOOD LUCK! and you'll get through it.
