Hi @azuireeg,
It'll be difficult, but it's possible with the right amount of effort and an efficient revision plan. Go through each one of your mocks and identify core areas of improvement - Sociology will likely have one or two topics that need extra work, whilst all of Economics will probably need to be revised from the start. I'd recommend focusing your attention of Economics first; talk to your teacher about your mock and discuss how you're going to improve your grade from here on out. Tutor2u is a great online resource for Economics and has lots of video guides if you're struggling to grasp the key concepts.
You can move on to past paper questions once you have a good understanding of the content of each subject. Make sure to revise regularly (consider a revision timetable/schedule) and try out new revision techniques when you can.
Best of luck - you've got this!

Hi @azuireeg ,
It's understandable that you're worried, but with the proper mindset and revision strategy going forward, there's no reason why you shouldn't be able to jump up a few grade boundaries! Since you mention that you didn't really revise, the good news is that you've already identified how you can improve, rather than having put all your effort into the mocks and being confused as to how you could have done better.
From now until exams, I would highly recommend using active recall methods of revision, such as blurting (writing down everything you can remember about a topic in one colour, and adding what you missed in another) and doing past papers. Doing timed essays regularly will help to familiarise yourself both with the content and style of questions the exams usually ask - make sure to create a strict revision timetable and schedule these in, discussing any areas you're struggling on with your teachers.
Remember, you're not the first person to struggle with their mocks (and definitely won't be the last!). Even if an AAB feels far away now, focus on what you are able to control in the present - your work environment, your study schedule and being open and transparent with your teachers. Even in the worst case scenario where you don't quite scrape an AAB, there will still be plenty of options available to you. If you're hoping to go to university, remember that many universities offer foundation years with lower grade requirements; by the time you're doing the degree and seeking future employment, it will be your performance at university that most employers will be looking at, not your A-level grades. As someone doing a postgraduate course now, I can tell you that A-levels hardly ever are brought up in conversation/forms (unless you're applying to law firms!).
Best of luck and let me know if you have any further questions - you've got this!

Hey, I would say you should revise in terms of priority at this point,
Religious studies and economics need improvement to reach your desired grades.
Revision websites for RE: BBC bitesize, Tutor 2u, Seneca
For economics: Tutor2u Economics - theory, case studies and past paper questions, Economics Online, Seneca
and sociology which I would advise focussing on getting to an A as its just under it use sites such as: Tutor2u Sociology, S-cool Sociology, seneca
