Journey to All 9's 🔮

Get to know me :lovedup::

my age- 14
pronouns - she/her
ethnicity- indian
what i wanna be - a doctor ( i know it seems very stereotypical)
where i am from - barnsley

I am making this thread so i have a my own digital diary/journal to document my journey all the way towards all 9's!!
I got this idea from a couple of other people..(thanks XD)
Context - I am currently a Y9 ( as of 2023-24) student taking History as one Early Entry Gcse which means i will do my history gcse in 2025 in y10 along with the year 11 students

Stay tuned

Best of luck, though I’m sure you’ll ace your GCSEs anyway.

If I was in Year 9 again I'd be tempted to make all my flashcards by hand (on anki) to ensure understanding. Also, make sure you only do a little bit every day, don't burnout.

goodluck with your mocks!! im sure you'll do amazing 🤍
reading through your posts, you seem like such a productive and motivated learner, and make sure you keep this motivation for learning throughout y10 and y11. y10 is acc the most important year because its when you learn over half your gcse content, but being the lazy student I was, I used to sleep in most my lessons, especially english, and I'm falling behind now 🙏🙏 just saying this because I genuinely respect your academic motivation and can't wait for you to ace your gcses <3

oh no - i only do my other gcses at 2026
the only gcse I will do in 2025 is my history gcse as we can do one gcse when we are 15years old

don't scare me - I picked computer science just to see what will happen

Okay guys i just came back for school
GOOD NEWS i didnt faint or anything by being scared lol
but I think I did okay , the source questions was the ones I already did practice on
the 20 marker was good in conflict and tension , so was 12 marker in Oppurtunity and inequality

next time I wanna focus on how to structure answers more clearly and what examiners look for
grade I might get on this mock ACC to me = 5/6 I hope at least( so I don't have high hopes and disappoint myself)
grade I want in the real thing = 8
