Working at a Grade B means you probably got on average about 140 marks. Students who ultimately get a A, usually achieved over 160 marks at AP5, but once as low as 110.
These students sometimes make rapid progress and get up to a Grade A or A* in the real exam, and sometimes don't. If you want a A/A* you need to be working a total of 5 hours per day over your 3 subjects each day of the holidays - if you don't, then you didn't really want it.

Q1: What shall I do first?
Find a Paper 1 (9MA0/01) and do it under exam conditions (2 hours).
Mark it - or best option - take photos and use AI to mark it.
Your school account includes Gemini Pro (non-generative) for free.
Work out what grade you are currently on for Paper 1 or ask Gemini "What Grade would this be?".
If you are now on a different grade - make sure you do that page instead.
Q2: What shall I do next if I've got lots of motivation and time?
If you have used Gemini AI - ask it "What 5 topics shall I revise for Paper 1 this half term?"
If you haven't - pick spliced Paper topics here. These are for B/C students > Strong B.

Q3: What shall I do next if I'm struggling with motivation and time?
The quickest way to boost your Grade are the target packs. Some students have used them to improve their grade by 3 grades over 4 weeks. It is a very efficeint way to improve your grade quickly.
Get a paper copy of Target B.
First get the question paper AND video up and watch the video, copying down the answers like a 'walking talking mock'.
Next day - get a 2nd copy of the question pay and try it independently.
If you get over 85% you've graduate to the next pack.
Try a Paper 1 again and see what you get.
