Mock results compared to real ones?

    Hey. :)

    I was just wondering, on average, do results tend to go up from the mocks rather than dropping? (I know everyone's different, but I'm just curious on average). I got 430 in my mocks, which is more than what I need (385) but I keep worrying that I'm going to drop points and not get enough. I know I can definitely improve certain grades but I can't help being nervous. Am I right to be so nervous or should I chillax a bit and stop freaking out??

    Thanks in advance, and good luck to anyone doing the L.C!! :D

    It all depends on whether or not you worked hard for your mocks.

    In general, people's points tend to rise.

    Think about it, you've done several weeks more study than you had for the mocks, likelihood is you'll do better.

    Only way you'd go down is if you've been sitting around doing nothing since the mocks.

    I got 410 in the mocks from studying the night before each exam
    really should of applied myself more, but oh well :D hoping to get to around 470 in the real thing, Ive been studying long and hard!

    I got 510 in the mocks. My friends have been saying, "Yeah, you'll be grand. Everyone goes up. You'll have studied more."

    I buy that logic to an extent, but thanks to this wonderful establishment, I knew most of what was coming up in the mocks.

    eg. poet for English
    essays for history.

    So I'm not to confident about getting over 500
