you can try, but it is very likely you will burn yourself out. Take breaks, it is a holiday.

There is also no uni course where you need all 9s, and many where even if you do have straight 9s, you aren't guaranteed a place.

Best of luck!

Hi @rana.x

I would recommend that you make a list of any topics that you are not confident with and then focus on revising these over the summer. This should ensure that you have a really strong knowledge base ready for Year 11. Making revision resources now is also a good idea as it will allow you to focus on answering practice questions next year.

It is also really important to take plenty of time off to relax and do things that you enjoy so that you are able to go into year 11 recharged and ready to work hard to get the best grades you can.

Hope that helps!

not a lot tbh, dont do too much or you'll burn yourself out. Take advantage of these holidays bc once yr 11 starts things will start to get a bit stressful. This isn't to say you shouldn't revise, just doing a bit of revision often will get you far. Another tip is to avoid doing past papers as these could be used for your mocks. My biggest advice would be to make a revision time table and stick to it. Good luck with you revision!! - i honestly wish i had this mindset in year 10.
