Hi Nisha, it's a shame that you feel demotivated, especially when you can get so much done, considering how much you have done already :smile: To be honest, you still have a week off and if you can't find the motivation to revise, take the day off, enjoy yourself and really get your head down tomorrow. Or if you really, really want to revise, sit down and set a timer for 5 minutes and plan to do something like read a page of the revision guide and hopefully you should become interested and it might start you off feeling more motivated to revise.

Bear in mind what you are working towards and why you want it - if you want something hard enough it should be a good starter to giving you motiation :smile:

No problem - if you wanted to make better use of your time you could maybe do some organisation stuff to help you be better organised for your revision, like making checklists of stuff left to do or filing your notes if you haven't already done so :smile:

I hope you manage to enjoy your day and perhaps get some studying done :biggrin:

Thank you and good luck with you studying today :biggrin:

You too what year are you in? What revision have you done today? :smile:
I did a maths past paper got 78/100 which is good and I did it with no revsion prior to taking the test. I looked at weak spots but overall looks like im on track to get at least 85/100 in the real thing.Also made/making some B6 flashcards on enzymes, everything is going well and I shall be finished the whole syllabus for triple science Bio tomorrow yayyyy
today I:
•completed the structure paragraph in my literature essay.
•completed my bronze dofe and got everything signed off.
•read up to halfway in my law book.
•started making flashcards for end of year exams.

would have ideally wanted to do more; it upsets me how lazy i was yesterday.

Update 02/04/16
So, today i shall say ' it has been the most unproductive day during the Easter holiday' that is because I wasn't motivated and i couldn't be bothered to do anything as i got distracted but this is my fault ... I decided to take a break but i felt guilty so I got a little bit done

Only managed to get a past paper done and revised the three topics + weaknesses

1. Topic C - Overview & questions - Grade A
2. Topic D - Overview & questions - Grade A*
3. Topic E - Overview & questions - Grade A

Overall Grade A ( could have got an A* if i memorised the case studies)

Tomorrow i promise to get a lot done

Well done both of you :smile:

And Nisha don't worry about not doing too muc (though I think you have achieved so much anyway) Take the anger you feel from today and use it as a reminder in the future of how you will feel if you don't do something. This way, it will become fuel for mitvation and become a positive event :smile:

I'm not angry , it's just that i'm upset but that's true and thank you for your kind words, you make me feel so much better :smile: :biggrin:
Also, if you do edexcel for any of your subjects , they have released the 2015 papers but they don't actually show the papers and it goes back to the homepage. Is that with you as well?

UPDATE FOR 02/04/16
Like most of you, I'm disappointed with what I have done today, but I am also happy in a sense because when I started doing my History notes, I just got on a role and must have spent about 4 hours making them. So I basically:

Printed past papers

15 Chemistry Q Cards

Heroes English Notes: Wreck Centre, Francis at War, Frenchtown and other specific places

History (12 pages so far): Cold war outcomes for USA, USSR and Cold War itself, Soviet expansion in Europe, Why did it end peacefully?

angry probably wasn't the right word, but take how you feel and learn from it :smile:

And no problem, I hope tomorrow is a better day for you :biggrin:
