How can I improve from these grades? I am aiming for all 9s. Many may say they are good, but not all great minds (my parents) think alike.
Biology 9
Chemistry 9
Computing 9
Physics 9
Business 8
Maths 8
Further Maths 8
English 8
Spanish 8
English Literature 7
Geography 7
I was really shocked with Maths because over the past 2 years, I have been getting 9s but suddenlys it has dropped. Even my OCF has dropped to a 9/8.
These are my mock grades, not my OCF (which are marginally better)

For maths and further maths past papers are your best friend. At grade 8 you probably know all the content so it's just a matter of getting used to the kind of questions and polishing your technique to get the harder marks. If you work hard you definitely have time to go up grades!

One of the reason your grades dropped could be lack of revision. This is something I see in common among students. (Amit Chejara- Math Tutor)

I guess that could be right because although i technically spend a lot of time "revising", a lot of it is actually procrastination. However, i feel I gave it my all in mocks but still ending up with worse grades. I understand silly mistakes in maths and fm cost me a 9 but what about the other subjects? How do people revise?
