My Road to A* everywhere

What are you doing your CA on? I'm only on my evaluation and it's worrying me that I won't be able to finish it in time considering my teacher hasn't arranged ANY after school help sessions so if we get stuck we're screwed

We did ours on Rivers (Water on the Land) but it is taking forever. It must be annoying that they don't give you extra sessions - could you not ask them to offer some?

Ours is on Tourism and it's so dull, and we had every lesson from June until December in class but only 3 people finished, and there've been no after school sessions since then. I've tried to do it myself but I'm at the point where I need guidance on what to do next (pretty much finished evaluation, don't know what comes next ) but my teachers more concerned about running revision sessions. I'll ask her about it on Friday though (my next Geog lesson)

True

But still not enough considering how close exams are now

That is very true
How much do you revise per day ?

In terms of hours, I try to do 3-4 on a school night and 5-6 on a weekend

Wow that's good are you ready for your exams yet?
I do the same amount but more on the weekends becuase that is the only large amount of time i have and i can do looads :P

I'm not sure I'm ready - all my teachers say I am and I should be confident but I could know absolutely everything and still not feel confident. It also just hit me today that today is exactly 2 months until my GCSE start!!

Weekends are good for doing loads and I use 5-6 as a minimum but can do more.

How confident do you feel about the exams?

I am confident with certain subjects but some i know that i will use this half-term efficiently and revise really hard from tomorrow it's 2 months till MY exams starts Ahhhh.. Some subjects i know i can get an A* and others i need to memorise and work on them

(Edexcel) Maths: A*
(OCR Modern) History: A*

Good job on the grades overall. I'm doing the exact same courses I highlighted and I got the same results for my mock. 180/200 leaves a lot of room for improvement for Maths, try going over your paper and correcting what you've answered incorrectly. Make a note of those topics and do, maybe 5 questions on them to get your head around it. For History, nail the subject knowledge and practice 4 mark, 6 mark and the 10 mark questions. In general, I'm in the midst of re-teaching myself my GCSE topics according to the specifications; as after Easter I'll be focusing on past papers - using my (hopefully) top quality notes to help me answer them correctly. This is just what I'm doing for the exams this year, hopefully we can both achieve the grades we desire!

That's good to hear and at least you know where your weaknesses lie. I know I look at all this quite negatively because I feel like it only takes one question to lose you the marks for a certain grade boundary - but I suppose it makes me work that bit harder to ensure I know every detail

I'm sure you will get all the A* you have worked hard for

(and you are way ahead of some of my friends who haven't even thought about revising yet - quite foolish I think for them, but I can't make them revise)

Ahaha that is true i get really annoyed when i am 1 mark or 2 mark of an A* bloody annoys me like mad TRUE

Hopefully :P

Oh wow same some of my friends get distracted really easily

Yeah I know the feeling

And some of my friends don't even seem to care, they expect everyone else to do stuff for them and say their parents will pay for everything - which I think means they need to get back to reality!

True But in the end i guess they would realise

Really haven't done much today:
