Hello! Welcome to GYG and TSR (if no-one else has already said so). Not to judge your grades so far, but getting 9s in History and Biology, and 8s in English, Chemistry and Physics are really great results so you should be proud of them (although, of course, your other results are also pretty good too)! With some revision, it's definitely possible to achieve your goal of all 9s :smile:

I'm curious - what draws you into wanting to study law at university? And perhaps it's a bit early to think about, but is there a specific area of law you're interested in specialising in? I think law is really interesting but I think I'd get fed up of it changing all the time...

And the dreaded January mocks! Some schools have already had them (lucky gremlins) but, alas, not all. There's still some time to get a bit of revision in, but remember this is also a holiday break so please take some time for yourself too!

I wish you luck for your mocks! Let us know how they go (if you're comfortable with sharing that)!

Hey Addie

I'm also doing my GCSEs this year and I'm more or less at a similar stage also trying to get all 9s

Here's my gyg if you're interested https://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=7648969&p=101053662&page=1#post101053662

hey!
I'm also on a similar path to you.
Do you have any advice for Maths, all Sciences, English and RS?

ooh lucky, I do the crucible, which I don't really like lol. yeah, I really need to improve my timings too - also how much I write for each question, last year I think I wrote the same for the 12 marker as the 8 marker.

guys the key is just to master the live theatre- make sure you have quotes for all different questions that could come up. That way u can do really well (also i don't recommend doing live theatre first just do the order the paper is in) :smile:

also remember it is 32 marks so that's where all of the marks are
