Road to A's + A*'s

Basically I have lacked motivation for revision during the Easter holiday, and really need to get my head down if I want to get the grades I have the ability to get. I feel that posting my targets for the day on here each morning will force me to stick to my plans.

My aims: 10 A*s, 2.5 As, 1 B

Although these grades may seem too unrealistic, I believe that it's always better to aim high.

Best of luck to you with your revision and exams! :smile:
How do you get 2.5 A's ? I should just say that whenever i get B's lol - "You say B, I say half of an A".

I'm so desperate to get my goal a level results that I have given up in a sense because i cant help telling myself that its impossible which is really not motivating

I have already completed RE short course- in which I got an A (thus the half an A).
What subjects do you take and what are you aiming for?

oh okay that makes more sense

I'm taking Maths, Physics, English Literature and History- aiming for A's in all of them *smiles* *cries*
Is it just me or is anyone else just taking 8 GCSEs because others are taking about 11 to 14 GCSEs. :lolwut:

I think I'm going to take history at uni, when i chose them i really had no clue what i was gonna do so i just did a range. I'd love to either be a journalist, run my own business, or go into marketing or something like that?

I know I'm a bit late, but today I planned on doing:
Revision of all biology topics
Some reading over my English notes
Memorising my first French answer (for CA)
Going over 1/4 of the history specification

How come you're doing 13 GCSEs? I did 10 and thought that was a fair amount... :tongue:

your own judgement will teach you more than any school fam
dont worry stay calm be trill
First step to those grades:

- realising that the use of an apostrophe to convey the plural of an A is grammatically incorrect

:wink:
