The Current Year 11 Thread Mark I (2016-2017)

I want back today, actually. Not really fussed on the changes they've made at our school; our new tutor groups are our Maths sets and we have to do Maths three times a week in tutorial to prepare for our Numeracy exams in November. WJEC has a new spec for Maths and Numeray, and apparently, our papers are really difficult!

Hope you had a good first day back. Asides from the changes, mine was okay. I survived after all, so I know I can pull through until June. Good luck for all your exams this year.

How long study periods do you guys have? I get 2 hours a week (split up obv).

Good luck for Maths, hope all those extra lessons pay off
Just hang in there until the end of this year! (that thought is what's getting me through year 11)
My first day back was pretty good too, most things same as last year. Only bad thing was the awkward year group photo we always have on the first day back!

Feels weird to hear everyone talk about going back to school when I don't go back till Monday
I still have to do my holiday homework which I think I'll spend Saturday doing.

Good luck to everyone starting within the next few days

Yeah they're lessons where you can do Homework or revision. It's just a classroom with a teacher in it or if it's at the end of the day, you can go home.

Timetable could be a lot worse... the only thing i really hate is p.e lesson 1 on a thursday morning

Yay, another Latin person! There doesn't seem to be many of us... there's only four people in my year taking it at my school,we have the tiniest class ever lol
Good luck in your Latin too (et gratias tibi!)

Also what book are you using for Maths? Is it a textbook?

I go back thursday and haven't done any homework yet either lol

Same, I have to do loads tomorrow lol, might even have a physics test the first day back :/

Hi, I'm ferozagirl, and I'm taking 12 GSCEsMy hobbies are: singing, painting, learning about science (as a whole), watching oriental media (in general - animes, kdramas etc.), playing guitar, learning Korean (and playing language apps), reading, watching netflix (among many, many other things) and talking (as you may notice from the size of this reply)

I'm worried about how I'm going to survive Year 11, and with the grades I want, in particular. Year 10 was a grilling experience for me because I didn't expect it to be so difficult - everyone talks about the jump from GCSEs to A-Levels, but I (somehow) did not see the jump from KS3 to KS4. Being dropped in the deep end so early on, I didn't quite get into the rhythm of things, and kind of drifted around for the majority of the year (drifting/drowning in procrastination) - something I really hope I don't do this year >.< It's gonna be tough, catching up with stuff I fell behind on in Year 10.

Has anyone got any tips/advice on how to not waste time?
(I have no focus - something I'm pretty sure I'm going to need this year )

I like almost all of my subjects, but I think I've definitely been put off by some of them (being thrown into the deep end, and whatnot), particularly History. It's probably because, somewhere along the way, I deeply confused myself and blew the whole thing out of proportion and my head hurts just thinking about it. I do indeed like school, but I feel a lot more lost than I have in the past. My dream job would probably be something like research in neuroscience, or being a brain surgeon, or a diagnostician, or a psychiatrist, or psychologist (I just really want to study the brain, or go into medicine). That, or become a singer (but I'll probably do that on the side).

In terms of A Levels, I've made a decision on some of my options, but not all:I'm just a bit of a mess right now '

When you say wasting time, is this when you're revising, or just wasting time doing things that aren't important during your day in general
