    I failed AG Science higher level got 25% and ordinary maths at 17% in my mocks, my AG science teacher recommended me to do pass and my maths teacher recommended me to do foundation. My maths teacher is rubbish and only 5 out of 24 passed the mocks. I believe i can pass both I have been getting grinds in maths since after the mocks in march. I'm just wondering if anyone is in the same situation? I'm fine for every other subject these two are my worst by far is it possible to pass them both? I'll be happy out with a D3 in both

    What do you want to do next year? Does it need ordinary maths? Some courses only require foundation. If so, it's not worth running the risk of failing ordinary.

    Nobody knows the answer to this because nobody knows what your ability is and how much work you have done.


    What have you done in Ag Science since the mock to improve your grade?

    Practice by picking a topic and working on the questions on that topic from the exam papers. check your answers afterwards with the marking schemes. Do the same for maths.
