Quite an unproductive day
- Chemistry: Revised lattice enthalpy and attempted some exam questions
-Biology- some exam qs on translation/transcription and also self studied 4 more spreads from my bio textbook!
Psychology- nothing.
Having an early night today, and waking up slightly earlier to do some f212 revision.

06/02/2016 PLAN FOR SATURDAY
- wake up at 8.30 (Ended up wake at 12.30)
Work start at 9AM (Started work at 2pm)
- Revise for Biology evaluative (1-2 hours) (DONE)
- start making notes on entropy
(DONE) i'll post the power point I made my notes from and you'll be able to see why it took so long
- Start genetics (reading ahead) + memorise(not done)
- Exam Questions on buffers(not done)
- F212(NOT DONE)
- Revise for research methods test.(DONE)
I need to start being realistic with the amount of work i can get done on weekends- note taking is time consuming so should try and get that done on weekdays.

Chemistry- Lattice enthalpy, rates,buffers, entropy (done)
Psychology- Started eating behaviour, and half way through relationships
My plan for holidays
- Revise all that ive done in class and self teach module 3 of biology
-Finish f212 revision
-start f322 revision
-revise for my test on acids, bases, rates, entropy, and buffers for when I get back

Good luck with everything!!! You seem to be doing some intense revision!! Lmk if you need any help with bio/chem
Thank you! And yes will do
I'm finding bio such a drag to learn any advice with that?

- Revised for Kc, Rates, Buffers, Acids bases, equilibrium, Kw, orders etc (DONE)
Also came across a really good method to work out Kc if anyone's interested holla at me

Reflection time!
-so I've realised that I'm most productive on school days and not the holidays (don't get me wrong I do get things done but not as productively as when I have sixth form- maybe because I don't have that pressure on me), and that's okay because everyone has their highs and lows. I kind of spend my whole morning sleeping (bad habits can not be done during Easter)
- I can't revise with music on because I get distracted by the lyrics! So Ive come across something new called study music which is really calming and helps you focus http://youtu.be/nR_G1SLPpZ4 (here's the link)
- I've adopted this new technique for revision- it works for biology and essay based subjects and I feel like it's working
The technique is as follows
- Read a textbook page a few times close the textbook then write down everything you remember come back and check what you've missed and keep a mental note of what you've missed.
- after doing the above and having good background knowledge I then make notes so it's not like I'm wasting time but I'm actually consolidating everything I've learnt-
- then topic specific exam questions
- once ive finished the content then go to timed exam questions
(This technique may not work for everyone but I've improved in biology slightly from a B last year to an A in my mocks, so it may work for you guys)
- Also, have some time to yourselves watch a movie, go out with friends and relax, it'll keep you motivated
I'll post some resources in a while such as chemistry power points, exam questions, notes, and some model essays for Psychology.
If you guys have any tips to share feel free to

Update 21/02/2016
- my holidays haven't been as productive as I've wished but I've made an action plan of what I need to do from now till exams to stay on target!
What I've done these holidays
- made all my f212 notes (but now need to memorise/understand and do lots of exam practice for this)
- made my acids, bases, buffers, entropy and lattice enthalpy notes done some past paper questions for each topic (Need to make sure I don't forget and do some exam qs onF322 and f324)
- Biology- these holidays for biology was unproductive I did a little bit of f212 and read through module 1 cellular control.
(finish off ecosystems by next week and start biotechnology, then recap f214)

- finally kind of finished self teaching module 3 F215 which is ecosystems in biology!! That means I' only have one module left to self teach left in biology- and class will be a lot more engaging as I will have a good background knowledge of things!!
^ next step is to go over what I've learnt and start making notes on it.
- Started my F322 retake revision finally and made notes on equilibrium - as I didn't make a single note last year!
And that's all for today! Really need to start writing essays for my essay based subjects tho!
