Journey to achieving AT LEAST my predicted grades (hopefully)

I've had a really crappy last year and gotten really bad grades, not to mention the fact that I've repeated AS last year, so this year in my A2's, my school have generously predicted me A*AAA and at the moment, only the A* seems possible and everything else is 1-2 grade jumps.

A2 predicted grades:

A* maths
A english literature
A biology
A chemistry
A EPQ

I've applied for biochemistry at Imperial, UCL, KCL, Southampton and Warwick
Offers from Southampton (AAB) and Warick (ABB) atm

Haven't started any revision and I've been so demotivated to do anything that my attendance has dropped to 51% and so I've also basically missed out on a term of learning although I've caught up pretty quickly this term.
We'll see how it goes :/

I hope this year is better than the last; good luck in achieving your grades, what are your current ones?

Bloody hell, that's uncanny! I've been having a rubbish year too, and I'm demotivated. Only one of my grades also seems on target to be an A, and I also repeated my ASs. I mean, admittedly I'm more humanities-orientated than you, being that I'm aiming for a Literature course (right on!), but it's still pretty amazing that someone else is going through such a similar thing to me.
Anyway, I think that it's probably fairly normal to be feeling a bit demotivated. I mean, everyone else our age has gone, and we're still going on for a third year. But hey, just think: we're on the home stretch! And apparently you're not alone in it. :L
I think you can probably manage it if you give it a shot. You might have to cancel all the partying at weekends and things, and maybe take up some kind of vice to pull you through, but I'm sure you can do it.

Fellow Biochemistry applicant! Congratulations for your offers so far Stick tons of motivational quotes around your room or just jot down 10 aims/morals somewhere that you can always see to motivate yourself. Also I know this never works but write a revision timetable and stick to it at least very roughly (say I definitely have to do Biology and Chemistry for 1 hour each at least on Monday, let it be either homework or revision). Haven't started revision either but hey, starting now isn't too late!

If worse comes to worst though you can always drop English Literature/EPQ imo...your choice though

Not sure what else to say but good luck on everything, rooting for you

Thanks
Where have you applied and have you gotten any offers?
My uni choices are all so unrealistically high tbh, esp. Imperial/UCL

Aha, I've got tonnes of to do lists and timetables scattered everywhere, I just can't seem to get into the mindset.
Attempting to start some revision today because I have a mock tomorrow and my real practicals on Friday :/

Good luck for your assessed practicals this week (and any more coming) and UCAS! Just done one this morning as well Chem practicals are quite a pain... Same here don't worry I'm re-sitting for more than one subject and I haven't changed any of my uni choices since post results day even though I've changed from Chemistry to Biochemistry simply because Biochem more applicable and I like the course structure more etc. Anyway I've applied to Imperial, Manchester and Bath with year in industry and just the normal 3-year course for Nottingham and York. Heard back from Manchester, Bath and Nottingham; waiting for York and Imperial :/

Aaaaah how amazing if we both get into Imperial!
Even if I don't get into Imperial, the offer itself will reboost my motivation to get in!
As I'm repeating a year, my A*AAA predictions vs my crappy GCSEs don't seem to be in my favour for an offer atm.
What exam board for chemistry do you do?

Current AS grades: ABCCC so the predicted grades are just so ridiculous in comparison
My teachers have a lot of faith in me :/



Yeah, I hate that all most of my friends are at uni and they keep telling me how amazing it is and I should visit them but although I say I have no time, in reality I do because I end up procrastinating so much
Just worrying about all that work rather than actually doing it.....
I'm only on target for the A* in maths and that should seem much harder to get than an A but I'm not close to getting an A in my other subjects
Good luck with you too
Where have you applied?

Eh, I've been playing a little more on the safe side than you in regards to applications on account of my generally changeable self-confidence, but in general I picked some nice places that did the specific course I wanted to do (English Lit and Creative Writing):
Reading
Falmouth
Roehampton
Manchester Metro
Westminster
Yeah, I know, I do that too. The fools who made my timetable packed all my lessons into 4 days, and then left Tuesday completely clear, would you believe. Which is surprisingly effective at making you feel incredibly unmotivated for 1/5 of the week! But anyway, good luck to you too. Let's ride this thing out til the end of the year in style. And besides, it'll be a great summer when it's finally over.

My sch are fools who have a timetable clash so I attend two schools for my subjects and have no free periods because it's a 20min journey between the two. I finish at 6pm on Wednesday and Thursdays and I still also have a time overlap in lessons because travelling from one sch to the other so I'm constantly late for lessons

Update: Got told to forget education and work in macdonalds because I have ****ty GCSEs.
