I got 22.5% in prelim exams. The average was 52%.
Is it stupid to think I could improve (I barely studied for the prelims). Apparently band 4 adv = band 6 standard
Should I drop to standard?
Ofc you can improve if you put in the effort!!!! Was your attempt at your prelim a serious one (like did you at least try doing questions even if you couldn't do them) or did you just not attempt questions bc you didn't study at all? If your attempt wasn't serious, I wouldn't use your exam marks as a determining factor in whether you should drop or not. If you are seriously attempting your exams and are still struggling, maybe take a look at y11+12 standard past papers and see if it matches your skillset before decidng to drop?
Do you struggle with the content in class? Because if you are not finding the content in class difficult and believe you could do much better if you actually studied/practiced with past papers, adv shouldn't be too bad! Tho if you do end up dropping, keep in mind if you also don't end up putting that much effort you wont end up with a band 6.
