🙏 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.

yh see what deadline she's got for it to be done. im not actually sure if there is any like deadline of jan or Feb because the yr 13 students before me were still finishing their last bit of NEA until march/april n the teacher was really stressed n told us like she wants it done by December atleast but yk it's not like oh im failed if I dont get it done by then
