My Road to A* everywhere

Heya buddy!
I got 100% UMS on my English literature GCSE and didn't memorise a single quote for prose - I did OMAM and AIC and uh. Something for poetry. An anthology that included Ozymandias and My Last Duchess. Moonlight on the Tide? The Character section? IDK.
ANYWAY, point is - more than quotes, know specific details. Know exactly how Curly's wife is positioned after she's killed, know exactly how the last scene with George and Lenny mirrors the first - it's remembering the minute detail (or memorising like one minute detail from each chapter eheheh) that impresses examiners: memorising quotes doesn't actually get you any marks on the mark scheme.
Hope this was helpful, and good luck!

Verynice blog! I'll also br doing maths further maths physics and chemistrty next year. Good luck!

Hello,

I would just like to compliment you on your work ethic. It is really inspiring to listen to your personal story about how you have overcome the challenges in your life and still remain truly committed to your studies. If everyone had the same level of motivation and determination you have then we would have a much better society.

Keep up with the good work and if you need any help then let me know as I did A level Maths and Chem and got A's in both.

Well im sure u'll do well our double is up to the 2s and our triple is up to the 3s lol! Good luck u'll do really well!!

Good luck, you can do it!! I see you have the motivation, now all you need is the hard work and dedication and you'll be getting the A*s you want!
Here's a motivational quote to keep you going

That's got to be one of the best quotes I've ever seen - totally sums up life at the minute. My family don't understand why I study so much and thinkI am wasting my time - but I'll show them

Thanks for reading my blog

School bits:
Hi Everyone,

I'm in year 11 so I will be sitting my GCSEs in less than 100 days (eek). I also have mocks on the 22nd Feb so keeping this thread will make sure I have kept up with my revision. At the moment my targets and grades are:

English Language: A*
English Literature: A*
Maths: A*
Biology: A*
Chemistry: A*
Physics: A*
German: A*
History: A*
Geography: A*
ICT: A*

Some of you may look at this and wonder how I can improve, but I set really high standards and in some of my mocks I have been getting 84/85 and scores like that, so I am working towards getting as high a mark as possible, and not just securing the grade.

Hopefully, if I can get the grades, I want to go on to college and study Maths, Further Maths, Chemistry, Physics and Geology.

Personal bits:
If you want a bit of background I've always been quite good academically (though I genuinely hate to admit it) but I believe it is down to the fact that I have severe Atopic Eczema (that the specialist said was the worst in 30 years) and because of this, I have found studying to be a worthy distraction. I also can't see out of my left eye which makes life interesting but I like it that way. If I can work hard enough, and get into University, I will be the first person in my family to do so, and considering my parents have barely any qualifications, this is definitely something I aspire to.

A few last words:
I am open to any advice or constructive criticism and I am happy to help anyone too.

If you want to find out more about me as a person I would be happy to post info and along the way, I will be detailing revision I have done, so if you would like to see pictures of it just let me know and I'll be happy to upload

Hey there, woah amazing grades!
You're doing 5 A levels? Now THATS dedication haha, I bet I'll struggle with my 3...(although saying that one of them is further maths)
You seem to have everything in order and you're able to stick to your plan, whenever I try to make a plan I never end up sticking to it and just end up revising the subjects I like
Hopefully you'll be a bit of competition and motivate me to revise to get the same grades as you (as you can't exactly get much better )
Lastly, good luck with this and I guarantee you'll be very happy on results day!

Oh cos I do triple science as well and only do up to the threes! I would not be able to handle and extra 9! Do you even need to take the extra ones or did you just take it because you enjoy it or for another reason?
