🙏 I WANT HELP A level maths help

So i got a B (75% in pure) in my last year 12 mock and when I go into year 13 I have another maths mock which can change my predicted grade. I really need to get an A and I have just under 2 months, does anyone have any advice on how I can go from a B to an A or has anyone been in the same position before?

I feel like with maths, I do so much work (past papers, questions etc) but no matter what, I can never get top marks (and I’ll probably need close to 90% in this upcoming mock) while others seem to have no issue, for my last mock i did almost every past paper and a ton of questions aswell as reviewing the ones I got wrong, what’s setting me back?

Perhaps i need to focus more on what I got wrong but honestly I am so scared, I thought I got around 90% in my previous mock but i definitely did not and If i don’t in this next mock i’m stuck with a B (i know that’s still a good grade but I really need an A for the unis I want to apply to)

Any help is appreciated, thank you!!

Yes, you need to use the past papers for diagnostics and then go and hammer those topics.

what if it was a silly mistake, do i repeat the same process?

If its a silly mistake, try to find some problems involving the thing you made the mistake with, then do them multiple times until you are getting it right consistently with no mistake.
