So I'm starting this blog to track my progress during my revision for the May/June A level exams. I'm not doing well in school at all, but I want to turn it around and get good grades for my A levels. I would have started a 'Grow my Grades' topic, but I've missed the deadline for entries and I don't think im allowed to start a thread now.
I'm taking a gap year next year, in which I will probably do the Biology A level, and then I will hopefully apply to do Biomedical Science at University. At the moment, I don't really have the right subjects to do Biomedical Science, so I guess I'll have to do Biology in my gap year which is fine (I was originally planning to travel).
At the start of year 12, I studied Maths, German, Biology, Economics and Welsh bac. I dropped Biology after a month or so because I decided that I didnt want to do the University course that I originally wanted to do, meaning that I wouldn't need Biology, and I was already doing 5 A levels. I ended up getting these grades in my Summer exams, after basically doing no revision and missing a lot of school towards the end of the year (I think, cant remember exactly):
Economics - C
German - C
Maths - D
Welsh bac. - TBC in yr 13
I decided to drop Economics because I really didnt enjoy the subject, so this year in year 13 I studied German, Maths and Welsh bac. When I apply to University, this is what I hope to apply with:
Biology - Predicted A
Maths - A*
German - A
Welsh bac - A (already confirmed as of Spring 2016)
These are what I would love to have, but I don't really need an A in German, and I feel like a B might be more likely. That's okay though, as when I apple to University, they will most likely only ask for 3 A levels, for example AAA with 2 sciences (Maths and Biology).
These were my GCSE results (Which prove that I am capable of higher grades than CCD):
Additional maths - A*
Maths - A*
German - A*
Biology - A
Physics - A
Chemistry - A
ICT - A
Welsh - A
Economics - A
Geography - A
History - A
R.E - A
I've made a revision plan, and I havent done any revision as of yet (my first exam is really close :/) so I really need to get started and work really hard.
I'll try and update every day or so with what I've done, but here are my goals for tomorrow:
-Write out notes for C1 (And understand the work)
- Write out notes for C2
-Write out notes for C3
-Do German homework (If there was any)
-Start revising for my German speaking exam- memorising an essay basically
-Revise the book I am studying for German
