My journey to success - Year 11

I wanted to create this thread so that I can track my progress and remind myself of my goals to stay motivated. Also I think this would be helpful for anyone in a similar position as me. I aim to study Medicine at UCL or University Of Birmingham. So firstly i'll you what i'm studying and my realistic targets.

Biology - A (did it in year 10, 5 UMS off an A*) :frown:
Physics - A*
Chemistry - A*
Maths - A*
English Language - A*
English Literature - A*
ICT - A
Geography - A*
Sociology - A*
French - A*
Religious Studies - A*

Now let's talk about revision :/
So I have been doing a good amount of work since January. Mainly Chemistry, Physics and Maths as my school is going super slow with it. However I am started to revise for my real GCSEs NOW ahhh.

These are my revision aims for half term:
- Finish C2
-Do a C1, P1 and P2 past paper
-Read and annotate Of Mice and Men
-Do 2 English Lit essays (homework)
-Revise geography theme 2
-Do a maths past paper and work on topics I struggle with.
-Learn new french vocab
-Revise Sociology 'Social Inequality' topic
-Revise RS 'Human Relationships' topic

Now down to how I revise:

Science - MyGCSEscience videos
Maths - practice questions
French - make flash cards on vocab
Geography- make revision notes (if anyone has a better way to revise geography please let me know)
Sociology - memorising dates and key terms/making flash cards.
RS- Past papers

So I hope this helped some of you and I hope you guys can help me too.
Have a great day :smile:

What exam board are you with for RE? My teacher is really bad and doesn't teach us everything (hence me aiming lower then everything other subject) so I was wondering if you would be able to help me at all?

Thank you so much, and congrats on those grades, you're so lucky you dont have that many exams this year
Soo I'm slightly disappointed with the work i've done over half term, I was slightly ambitious but there's still 3 more days so I should be ok.

Going to try and have a really productive day to day, just made myself a smoothie, then i'll workout, take a shower and start revising. I'm going to do lots of p2,c1, and p1 revision posters and mind maps etc and I'm going to do all my science homework (which is a lot)
What I did yesterday:
-A Chemistry 1 past paper (I got an A*)
-A Sociology past paper (I got an A)
-A Physics 1 past paper (I got an A*)
-A maths calculator paper (I got 82/100)
