To succeed or not to succeed???

Oh my goodness you're so good at updating your blog (I really need to update more!). I saw your mock results, and how did you get an A* in maths?? I get middle As in maths, like seriously every paper I have ever done since year nine has been a middle A, and I cannot seem to get a higher mark! So, do you have any maths revision tips?
I saw that you're taking an AS as well (this is sounding slightly stalkerish) I am as well (but in Critical Thinking) Do you think we have to go on A-level results day or would we just get them with our GCSEs?
Lastly, I don't know if you have already said this (I don't think you have) but what are you planning on doing next year? Any ideas for uni courses yet?
Good luck with revision,
Soph

Haha, I really don't update that often. Some people on the Grow Your Grades thread update everyday.

My super maths tips (only a spoiler because it kept getting longer) I sound like a stalker half of the time and as long as someone has put it online it's fine??? I honestly don't know about whether we'd have to go on A-level results day. I hope not because that would be a bit awkward but then again, it would be the only chance I have because I'm going to a different school next year.

Next year I'm going to another school so I'm not entirely sure what would be best. I put on my application that I wanted to do English Lit, Maths, Physics and Geography. Then I decided to swap computing with geography and do further maths. Now I'm considering just taking further maths. I honestly don't know... Probably English Lit, Maths, Physics and Further Maths. Knowing me, I won't know until I start on the first day of sixth form.

Uni? This is another thing I have no idea about. Business, English, Maths, Computing, Physics, Computing with Philosophy? I'll cross that bridge when I get to it. All I know is that I want to go to Oxbridge but I don't know what I want to study. I don't think it really matters as long as I get there.

Thanks for the maths tips! My teacher is also making us do past papers every lesson, the only problem is she can't teach! I didn't understand where I had gone wrong on a question and her 'explanation' just confused me more! I ended up asking my physics teacher to explain it!

I'm moving schools for next year too! I debated taking Physics, Maths, Biology and Chemistry, but I know that I am only doing Maths so I can do Physics, so I went with Biology, Chemistry, Geography and Philosophy. By the way, if you take Maths and Further Maths, make sure that you take two other subjects because most universities don't view them as separate subjects!

Aiming high with Oxbridge then! Good luck and I hope you can decide on a course! Thanks again for the Maths advice, hopefully I can get my grade up before the exam! What exam board are you following for Maths? I'm Edexcel

Every lesson? We just do them for homework! At least your physics teacher can help you tho! I need to take four subjects anyway, since my new school is high on academic achievement. It's whether I take five or not and which one/ two of three I take for my 4th/5th choice.

I'm sure you'll be able to get your maths grade up. I'm with Edexcel too. Have you tried the revision workbook? It's really good for questions. Most of my class have it now. (I started the trend ) I'm sure I will decide when I get to year 12. At the moment we just have to focus on GCSEs...

Yeah, we have the work book (we had to buy it). Our teacher is awful though, we have finished the book because she would set us twenty - twenty-five pages a week

All my brain can think about are GCSEs... everything else seems to have slipped out. My new school is high on academic achievement as well, we have to take four in our first year and we can drop one for the second if it gets too much! I started the trend with the OCR RS revision guides as well, and to return the favour, here's a link http://www.amazon.co.uk/GCSE-Religious-Studies-Philosophy-Revision/dp/1444110713/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1457878383&sr=8-2&keywords=gcse+rs+ocr+b (seriously though, this is how I revised and made flash cards from, it's brilliant!)

20-25 pages a week? And I thought a past paper a week was bad! (It's usually fine unless it's further maths... )

I'm trying to keep up with other stuff at the same time. I seem to be taking on a lot at the moment after dropping a load of things in January. They're all things I've wanted to do for ages and they seem to be giving me something else to focus on! Thank you for the link. I actually already have it but i didn't think to look in it for quotes! (I'm sorry!! ) I've used it for all topic broadsheets (notes in mindmap form) and it's practically what I've taught myself the course from as our RS teacher is terrible and can't teach to save his life.

I love reading this! You're doing so well at keeping up to date with everything and trying your hardest that it's really motivating me to do the same I hope you get the grades you want!!

Someone's reading this? I thought it was just me on here! Thanks though I still have a long way to go. I'm enjoying reading yours too! Good luck to you too although you don't need luck! In the words of my headteacher 'Luck has nothing to do with it'.
