After @umar23 recently giving me the idea of making a GCSE Journey, I thought that I would make one.
So, I'm 14, 15 next week! And I'm going into Year 11, I go to a grammar school, meaning more of the expectation to great grades as well as to stay on for the IB. I actually want to get great grades but then, I would say I'm smart but I don't apply myself, but next year I want to turn that all around.
My target grades are: English Literature and Language (AQA): 9
Maths (Edexcel): 6
History (AQA): B
Philosophy (AQA): B
French (AQA) : C -
I know it's terrible, I regret taking it and I really don't like my teacher :|Spanish (AQA) : B -
I take the subject privately with a tutorAdditional Science (AQA) : B
Drama (WJEC) : B
My Year 11 PPEs are in November, so I'm determined to start revising in late August onwards, so my new target grades are a lot higher and that teachers expect a lot more from me. In November, it's the annual tutor - parent meeting, where my parents and I meet with my form tutor about progress and things. Also, in January next year, it's the first parents evening of two, so I want good, positive comments.
My goals are:
I really really want to have my teachers think highly of me, and know that I can work hard and get really good grades in my half termly grade sheets. I want to improve, in Science, especially Physics and Chemistry as my teachers always moans that my learning is poor. I want to improve in Maths, as I really struggle with the subject as a whole. French is where I need my grades to jump too, as I don't have any confidence in the subject at all.
I want to help motivate others as well as gain motivation too. On my previous post, called "GCSE grade and revision help", I got some tips but I would love loads more. Also, I would
love to know more about Russell Group Universities in London's GCSE requirements as I would love love love to go to King's/UCL/LSE/Queens Mary for Uni to study Law.
I think I've spoken for ages, well written for ages, so
tips, motivation and advice in general, as I really want to do well this year, as GCSEs are really first step to academic success. And I want to be screaming and crying at school on Results Day next year
THANK YOU!!!!!!!
