Is it bad that I haven't done anything because . . . teachers set so much homework (which is all revision) so is that counted? :biggrin:


I don't think so if its really helping consolidate your learning but I'm the complete opposite I literally don't do any of the homework and just revise instead.. not that thats the best idea

That's good if you have effective self discipline :tongue: Wish I could do that but the school seems to think noone can revise independently and thus they make us stay behind for compulsory 'revision' sessions (that last 2 hours), it is useful because we get exam questions to do that are marked with us and we really learn how to approach a question buut . . . it doesn't feel like revision to me Idk im weird because it's guided? :smile:

Yup :smile: I even have to come in in the holidays for a maths 'coaching session' and I was offered to go to an art one but art I can easily do at home :biggrin:

Nope a normal state school ^-^ So other schools don't offer coaching? Wow I never used to believe the teachers when they said we are lucky, I just thought it was normal.

Haha I started before Christmas and because I revised for my mocks it made it a lot easier to revise everything. I have after school sessions which I attend so I don't forget the stuff I have learned. So far so good and hopefully I'll get 9A*s and 1A haha

I think schools offer coaching but not so early on in the year so you really are lucky

good luck! you must be really smart.
Do you use any particular resources to help you get such high grades or are you another natural genius:biggrin:
