How many practice exams should I do to try and achieve (A or A+) for each subject? I am considering of doing 20 for each subject, one exam preferably each day

Sounds good. Although, one thing. If you mark them yourself, try to get someone else to mark them for you, like a teacher.

Yes I am definitely going to do that, however I am stuck on how I could improve and get full marks on questions I get wrong or don't get full marks on

Kinda hard to answer seeing as you actually haven't done any exams and don't know where those issues exactly lie. But in general, try and keep a 'logbook' of your errors, which details what you got wrong, why, and a sample full mark response.

Also, number of practice exams don't necessarily indicate a great deal. I know plenty of people who have done TONS (>30), and still don't do great, and kids that do very little (5ish), and still manage to get great scores. Do as many as you can, but the most important thing to do is actually learn from the things you got wrong, and not try and jump into prac exams too quickly.

Hmm true but I want to know before hand so I can plan out to productively and effective study for exams but I'll go seek advice from teachers and thank you for your advice :)
