I've started with Biology Unit 1 already, but I'm hoping to finish it soon (I still haven't finished it - it will be one of my priorities for tomorrow)

•

Make notes for at least one set work in Music (I might have been able to do more than one, but oh well...)

•

Research on the electrolysis of aluminium

Tonight, I'm really going to have to keep anion the time if I want to get through the whole list.

Carry on with P1 notes

•

15 minutes of Vocab Express for French

•

Memorise at least 15 quotes from To Kill a Mockingbird (I sort of read the quotes, then ended up reading the book)

•

Physics Unit 1 June 2012 Paper (Got 50/60, which equates to an A* - I'm glad that the boundaries are so low...)

(I really don't think that the gravity of the situation has settled in for me yet, but hopefully, it will soon)

When you exclaim that you memorise quotes from the book, dont you have an open book exam for your Literature exam?

Not in our exam board - we do WJEC English, which has closed book examinations. It just means that I have to put way more into my Literature prep.

That sucks, it should be an open book exam but good luck, despite so, you'll surely do good. Hopefully they mark leniently due to this,

I don't think WJEC are known for being lenient :erm:

To be honest, I don't know why our school chose this as an exam board, when having an open book exam would have been much better.

I do AQA, but AQA is so bad especially when it comes to English Language! :frown:

I wouldn't know, since WJEC is our exam board for both lit and lang. I'm sure you'll do fine in your exams, though. Don't worry :biggrin:

But if you can't be bothered to look, I got 5 A*s, 4 As and a B (in History, which I should be focusing on)

Hatch your Grades :woo:

Alright, so I've finally taken the time to make my own Grow your Grades blog, which I really hope will help me (maybe even other TSRians - who knows...). And I know that I really need this because I'll probably just carry on procrastinating without something to aim for.

My Situation Right Now:
Not much to say, really. So far, I've not been motivated enough to properly revise for my GCSEs. Even with the first exam starting

Mock GCSE Results vs. Target (Orange = below target Green = on target)

Maths A* (A*)
English Language A* (A*)
English Literature A (A)
Biology A (A*)
Chemistry A* (A*)
Physics A (A*)
French A* (A*)
German A* (A*)
History B (A)
Music A (A*)

Exam Timetable:

Monday 15th February

If anybody is actually reading this blog, I'm wondering what you think GCSE should actually stand for :holmes:

Thank you very much! It's great to see that you've got such a great work ethic - I'm trying to get more motivated, since this week is actually the first week I've properly bothered to revise (if I'd prepared more for my mocks, I might have done a lot better). What I'm finding is helping me is the TSR study session thread (http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=3896671 if you haven't seen it yet).

What do you find keeps you most motivated?

I really don't know what you're talking about by my work ethic - I think I've done about 10 hours' worth of revision altogether. Your blog looks great, by the way! I'm going to be taking an hour off TSR now, though, so I'll reply later :biggrin:
