~Grow Your Grades 2016 Discussion Thread~

How do I enter if I have already got a thread from last year? Do I have to create a new one to enter or what?

@The Learn Ranger will have to confirm this, but I think it's probably best if you open a new one so we make sure we aren't judging last year's things by accident

Thanks Gingerbread. Yes, best to start a new thread with a new starting point and new ambitions.

OK. Because I thought I would be able to carry on from my current blog but that's fine, I can always forward people back to the current blog so they know what happened before and etc. Just in case, I will wait for confirmation. Thanks!

Yep, I've been so impressed with how regularly you've been updating your blog! It would be a shame for you to lose people following it If you make a post at the end of your current blog directing people to the new one then that should do the trick

I've been waiting this for a while now, yay! I really need the motivation haha...

I'm in Year 12 and studying Maths, History, English Lit and Politics. I'd be over the moon with 3 As at the end of AS levels (I'm taking history in 2017 instead as it's a reformed A level), but my predicted grades are Bs and that's already quite ambitious

Hey hey hey

We do pretty much the same subjects except I do Biology instead of English lit, can we be study buddies? We've also got the same predicted grades and personal targets!

Do you do M1 for maths?

Woop! Sure thingggg I recognise you from the GCSE Crime and Punishment thread haha which I also sat, thank god that's over!

Aw nope I do S1 What do you study for history?

@Gingerbread101 Hi, I have a GYG thread created back in September 2015 and recently I have made a 2nd version to improve the blog further. I would my thread to be moved to the GYG section where it should belong however, I have come to the decision whereby I will not participate in the competition as I feel it's too short seeming that it doesn't start until now and that it ends during the GCSE results day. In addition to this, I feel that winning a prize in the competition will not make me any more motivated in any sense.

That's me, yes THANK F*CK that's over. Literally the most boring and tedious topic ever

I do Germany 1918-89 and Rise and Fall of Fascism in Italy, you?!

It was literally the worst exam ever... but I somehow did quite well in it

Aw man, I do American Civil Rights and Apartheid in South Africa - literally nobody else seems to be studying these haha!

Ahhh your units seem really interesting! Especially the SA one!!

I felt literally the same, but somehow I managed to get an A* dropping like 3 marks in the whole thing

Yes! I was exactly the same, I dropped like 8 marks I think but throughout the whole 2 years I never passed a single mock haha! Shows how anything can happen... hopefully it will be the same for AS

There's a link on the main thread that says "start your blog here", but when I follow the link to the forum, it won't let me post my own thread. Is this how I create a study blog? Am I doing something wrong or is this something happening for everyone until a certain date? Any help is greatly appreciated!
