Hey, Year 11's been okay for me so far. I'm predicted to get all C's, but if I'm honest, I don't believe a C is my true ability. I only think C is my predicted grade because I've been lazy these past few years. Admittedly, I was also lazy in Year 10, hence why I got a C in Core Science overall. Yes, I was a bit gutted with that, because I knew I should've tried harder...however, at the same time, I felt like I flunked 2/3 of the exams last May, so to find out I passed overall was a relief. I actually had a C, D and B imdividually, just like the mock outcome! I suppose the only thing I can do now is to just knuckle down and actually do some revision! Otherwise, all my GCSE results will be C's if I carry on! I want to prove the teachers wrong and show them that I can exceed my global grade.
I'm sitting 15 exams this year. Admittedly, one of them is a re-sit: The Role/Status of Women, the History module I sat in Year 10. I had a D...4 marks off a C. Oops. I'm just grateful for the fact I've been given the opportunity to re-sit. I'm not going to waste it.
Overall, I'm aiming for A's and B's in my GCSEs. I haven't been looking for sixth forms because I'm happy to stay on at my school. I don't think my school is the best if I'm honest, but I feel they do have a pretty decent sixth form because it's full of people who actually want to learn! Sure, I'm fine for having a laugh myself, but sometimes I just need to knuckle down and stop being lazy like my classmates. I know you didn't ask this, but I'm aspiring to go into forensic pathology. It's a lengthy procedure because you apparently have to go to medical school first...but I'm aware you have to make sacrifices to get the stuff you want. I'm trying not tp be lazy this year. My life is depending on this one crucial year, so I'm prepared for the hard work that's about to hit me in the forthcoming years.
Good luck everyone else! I hope you all reach your target grades at the bare minimum! I said 'bare minimum' because you should all be aiming for your desired grades, not your predicted ones. I know you can all do it. You're clearly dedicated students.
