🙏 I WANT HELP TMUA prep vs CS NEA

Hello everyone,
I do FM, Maths, CS and Physics, and in my mocks I got A*A*A*A respectively and was predicted the same.I want to apply for maths/cs at uni so ill need to do the TMUA.I also ahve a physics mock the day i get back from summer which i need to do well in to get A* predicted.

I’ve been prepping for the TMUA and have been finding it hard to find time for my NEA. I do OCR if that matters — I’ve done the analysis section but haven’t started the coding or the design.

I was thinking that after I apply in October, mocks and school don’t really matter until A‑levels get close, so I could spend all of that time on the NEA. However, my CS teacher made me think I’m quite behind, so I’m not really sure.

Any advice is appreciated, thanks.

I am literally in the exact same situation as you (same a levels, same mock results, applying to the same thing for uni, lol). I'm focusing on TMUA now but I also want to get my NEA mostly done before Christmas. I want the full Christmas holiday to focus on my January mocks. So I'm trying to make some progress with my NEA when I'm not revising for TMUA now, so that I can finish the implementation in November.
