My Road to A* everywhere

Good luck for your mocks, although I have every confidence you'll do well

Thank you - I wish I could stop itching though, so I could get some last minute revision done

Onwards and upwards though

Good luck for your mocks! Anyone who only drops a few marks in a science paper is going to be more than fine.

Your mocks exams begin tomorrow. Good luck, you'll ace them!

ANOTHER EDIT

Oooh 2 edits in one day, you lucky people.

I've just done two mocks and I'm not as happy about them as I would have liked but we will have to wait and see. As a result I plan to do as much revision as is physically possible so that I can get the grades I had hoped on the Unit 2s on Friday.

Therefore - I'm planning to do notes on everything I don't fully understand before I sit the exams and this probably means about 50-60 pages of notes from the revision guide, but I wll update you on how I get on

I'm sure you did great, but it's good that you want to do better! What exams did you have today?

I can't begin to tell you how inspirational you are! You so driven and dedicated it makes me want to follow the same path

Do you practice exam technique, if so how do you do so and do you revise that seperatly as its own session or with the topic you are revising for? btw how did you feel you did on ur mocks today?

Hi,
Yes I do practice exam technique and I plan to do past papers at least once a day (but this week, I've put all that on hold for the mocks) and in the shorter revision sessions before hand, I'll make notes on topics I feel weak on. Or I'll make notes on topics I got wrong in a past paper I did the week before. I don't specifically practice a set of questions on a particular topic, this is so that I can spot weaknesses.

As for the mocks, I'm not too happy about them as I think I've dropped too many marks than I would have liked but we will have to wait and see - I will post my results up here when I get them

Wouldn't you run out of papers for the exam board, or would you just use some past papers from other exam boards as some are quite similar? I am revising for about 3 hours on school nights and around 6 on weekend/ non-school days would you recommend to start doing a past paper a night then so I get my exam technique to a high standard?

Yeah you do run out - I've been through all the available science ones already but I'm going to do them at least twice again because I doubt I'll remember the answers (plus they are quite likely to repeat certain types, so it doesn't do any harm to go over them again).

Your revision hours are similar to mine and I'd say you don't have to do a paper a night if that might seem a bit excessive (though it can't hurt) so you could just plan to do a couple each weekend to sort of consolidate everything you've done that week and help you plan for the upcoming week. I would just suggest you start doing papers as soon as possible

And yes I do get the papers off other exam boards, particularly for things like German, because it's all German and I can use them to experience new vocab and build my knowledge that way.

I hope this helps

Are you using the flashcards from the link? Just wondering how you are finding them?

If you have any improvements I would love to hear them
