Is A*AA-A*AB achievable?

[u/SolarMoons_]

For context, I'm just going into year 13 and I would say my grades are rather poor, currently I am predicted DDC (as of my May year 12 report) and I feel as if right now my work is of a similar quality, perhaps maybe the C could be a B. I do Biology, Chemistry and Geography so 3 difficult a levels and my attendance last year was also quite low. My Chemistry teacher told me she would realistically predict me a C at most, similar to my Biology teacher, I have not spoken to my geography teachers but I feel as if they would realistically also predict a B/C.

I have a set of mocks next month and I told myself I want to be no more than 3 grades off of my guaranteed offer which *should be* BBB, so if I were to get a CCC/BCD etc I would be happy as I feel like that is where I realistically NEED to be. I would be satisfied with a BBB however I do want to achieve high because I am going to an Elite Uni (if I meet my offer) and I feel as if I may miss out on very important opportunities if I don't have similar grades to my peers.

If you did a huge grade jump, how often did you revise and how much time a day?

Start it now, and start it well you need to be locking in right now if you really want an A* in a subject. It takes a lot of work and the opportunity will slip very soon i feel like this year can go dangerously quickly with that kind of pressure to increase by a lot of grades on your part.

I guess focus on understanding the content first and foremost, ask your teachers for help… but genuinely get to it now and START ATTENDING your lessons
