Original post by sunday_morning

It feels weird calling myself a year 11, the past couple of years have gone really fast for me!

Really? Life's dragged for me. School, situations and just in general haha

Are you looking forward to year eleven?

I am getting my statistics, I'm not sure whether to go and collect it on results day or to just get it when I go back.

I'm glad that my school is just posting our results. Quiet frankly the (old) year 11s scare me, they are too over emotional.

But i have to get my result in september : <

We're allowed in on results day; usually it's one hour after Y11 but I think this year everyone is just coming in at the same time.

I would disagree with the that, but you have more a science-humanities background ?

Autumn Term of Year 11 will be the last point in your lives when you can feel truly relaxed.. Enjoy it while it lasts! :biggrin:

Just gonna remind you that if you need any help, us Year 12s have been in the same boat - just ask :biggrin:

How do you get a good balance of revision between all your subjects?

Pretty much

That's similar to me, I'm a Social Science person and you could consider Accounting as a Social Science since it branches of Economics.

Don't be tempted to revise what you know and what you like. I spent 90% of my revision on Chemistry, not because it was hard, but because I found it easy and I love Chemistry. Big mistake. Make sure you tip the balance of revision in favour of what you don't like and what you struggle with. Motivate yourself to put the hours in.

If you want to pseudo-schedule your revision, maybe align your sessions with the school timetable, and therefore you'll end up spending a good amount of time on each subject.

Just play it by ear really; if you know there's stuff you don't know in Physics, spend more time on Physics. Use your end of topic tests and the like to see where you need to spend the time.

I think I saw that you do Latin: you'll have to do a lot of revision on the set texts as you go along - make sure you learn the sections as you go - it's a must, because revising 250ish lines of Latin in one go isn't really effective.

But don't worry too much about revision just yet - not hardcore anyway - just keep on top of your work and make sure you've grasped everything you've learnt.

It is very much a Social Science. I do indeed :smile:

That's been my ambition since I was 10. I've always had a massive interest in Accounting

Question: when do you officially have to decide what a levels your going to do? Why do you have so many assemblies?

At my school, we chose around halfway through Year 11 but you can still switch depending on what you get on results day. You can even still switch in the first few weeks of sixth form if you want to!

My school has hardly any... :dontknow:
