    It possible to get mainly B's in your mocks but get Mostly A's in the real thing?
    I got a 4 A's, a C and the rest were B's
    In the real thing i want all A's and a B in irish ( i got a C in the mocks)
    so basically i want to go up a grade in every subject?
    is it possible?

    I got the same results more or less and am also doing all higher level. :)
    I was wondering the same thing, and I asked my teachers.
    They were all pretty optimistic, and told me that it is very possible to go up a grade if you put the work in and pay attention in class if they're doing revision etc.

    I dont know from experience(im JC now) but i would say it is possible. Start studying now, doing past papers, making notes, practising listening etc.
    One of my teachers said people normally go up either 5-10% or 10-15%, cant remember which.
    Remember that by June you will have the whole syllabus for each subject covered. You will also hopefully have revision done in class, and your own study at home. You can also go for grinds if needed.
    I also want to improve my grades up a grade. I got 2A's, 8 B's and 1 C, all higher. Im going to do a few maths grinds(thats my C).
    Good luck with everything!

    Sure it's possible!
    In my mocks I got a few As, mostly Bs and and a C in Maths. On the day I got 7 As, 3 Bs BUT I went down from a B to a C in Irish. If you work you'll get the grades you want. Good luck!! :D

    Forgot to include this in my post:
    Dont neglect a subject because you got an A in it! My sister got an A in HL maths mock for JC, but got a B in the actual thing. Make sure to keep revising because you dont want to go down a grade!
