    I just really slowed down how quickly I did the exams. Before I used to rush through it, only reading the question once before attempting it. I know it sounds stupid but it's amazing how much of a difference it makes and stops you making stupid errors.
    Whilst getting questions wrong I assume you referred back to your notes/revision guide or textbook to get a better understanding of your weak topic?

    And by any chance did you re-do any papers in which you were getting i.e. 60's in?

    I did all of the textbook questions for integration, differentiation, and inequalities as those were mainly the questions I kept messing up.
    I've repeated a few, but tbh I haven't really been taking notice of what paper it is, just been doing as many questions I can get my hands on

    Maths teachers just sent me an email telling me to bring a homework from weeks ago to next lesson. Cue hours of searching through my folder for it. Think I'm just going to do the homework again

    Ok so I didn't stick to my plan today:

    * Do C3 paper and mark (Partly done)
    * Core 3/Mechanics revision (Done)
    * Repeat and write up maths answers (Done)

    Didn't do a mechanics paper but instead:

    * Did some more difficult C3 and mechanics past paper questions (Done)

    Psychology:
    - Sporadically do random exam questions

    Computing:
    - Exam Style Questions in textbook - the questions in the book are so different to the ones in the actual exam papers :lolwut:


    Going to go sleep soon - early start tomorrow
