Hello everyone,
Welcome to my study blog, I will be using this to keep track of my revision for GCSE mocks and the actual examinations. This is my actual blog, I do have two other blogs (made with the same intention,) but, those kind of ended up dying! I will be posting on this blog daily, thanks for taking the time to read it!I would love to achieve 10A*s in my actual IGCSE exams. I am doing IGCSEs in Maths, Separate sciences (Biology, Chemistry & Physics,) Full course religious education, Spanish, English Literature, English Language, History and Geography. However, i would be happy with lower grades, as long as I had felt that I had tried my hardest.My mock examinations begin on the 31st October - guess that there won't be much halloween celebration for me then!
I am nervous about these, yet, I will be treating them like my actual GCSEs.
Educational BackgroundI have been lucky enough to be able to attend private education throughout my life. Even though the people who I have met at schools attended haven't been rather 'nice,' it has been a great experience academically. When I was in junior school, teachers, my parents and fellow pupils did not expect me to achieve much, nor go a long way in life. I had processing issues, speech problems and I was unable to 'pick things up' and 'understand' as fast as the other kids. So, in year 6, I decided to work exceptionally hard for my 11+ common entrance examinations for senior school. However, after having taken the exams for both schools that I was applying for, I genuinely thought that I had failed. I had convinced myself that it would be a miracle if I had managed to earn a place at either school. To my surprise, I was awarded two academic scholarships to both schools, managing to shock everyone that I knew. Having gained those scholarships, I began to realise that perhaps I wasn't as 'dumb' as everyone had thought.At the end of year 8, I decided to take the 13+ to get into one of the best schools in the country, I had no confidence whatsoever that I would be able to make the cut. I kept pushing myself and was lucky enough to be offered a place. I decided to attend the school, I realised that it was going to push me a lot more than the place I was currently at. So, here I am, about to experience my first day of year eleven tomorrow, I am absolutely petrified! Now it is time to study exceptionally hard and continue to prove the haters wrong!
Tagging the people who helped me make it through year ten and to year eleven. I am very thankful and wish them the best of luck for their A levels, woo.
