Dark, Sequestered, Lonely Path To 9 A*

Konichiwa

So Basically, I've been really angry lately, Ive finally tracked down the root to my problems, after hard and excruciating examinations i finally came up with a conclusion:

I am Stupid.

For my Mock Examinations I got:

English Language: B
English Literature: C
Maths: B
Physics: B
Chemistry: B
RE: A (should of been an A* but unicorns don't exist)
Spanish: A*
Music Technology: B (Merit)
Drama: B (should of been an A* but we breathe air)

Overall I consider these results to be straight up Trash

As reference, for A levels I want to study:
Maths
Physics
Economics
(not sure for the fourth Computing/ Further Maths)

So I have decided to document my revision everyday for the next 30 days which will be our first GCSE Exam .

In the Future I would like to Study Economics At Oxford, Cambridge, LSE or Imperial, respectively. After this I want to be a Stock Broker/ Inv. Banker.

My current Year, Year 11 will be the last Year to do the current/old syllabus, this has been staged as another incentive for me to get the best grades possible.

Grades I Want To Get By The End of Year 11:

English Language: A*/A
English Literature: A
Maths: A*
Physics: A*
Chemistry: A*
RE: A* - Easy
Spanish: A* - Easy
Music Technology: Distinction (A)
Drama: A* - Easy

These are the Grades I will need to get into Wallington Grammar School For Sixth Form (Ive already gotten into my first choice, However I'm not sure whether to pick that or Wallington)

My Revision will Entail:

Going over each topic, making mind maps - I find these to be more effective.

I have printed about 5-6 Past Papers for each Topic and I plan to finish these by the end of the Easter Break.

However I'm still not sure how to revise both (English's? Englishes? Engli?) so any help will be appreciated.

Lastly I have made a Time Table for My revision which is here:



So you can also use it if you find it to be effective for yourself. ( I would like to seize this opportunity to apologise for the diabolical colour scheme, Forgive me.)



I would be delighted if any of you embarked on my mission along side me.
This is really just to help me with motivation as Im just a box of lethargy
I shall be posting daily at the specified time on the time table.

Gracias,
Kharis.

Damn, another prospective Investment Banker!

Great job on the blog so far. I'll be following you seen as we have similar higher education and career aspirations.

Hope you've had some effective revision so far!

I actually got inspiration to start this from your blog, so its great to hear you like it! thanks!

That's great to hear! Hope your revision goes well.

As I said before, I'll be following you since you've got an interest in IB.

I'm never getting an A in English😁

Dang, 9 A*'s


How long did it take you to revise each subject thoroughly

How did you revise the (English's? Englishes? Engli? Can never seem to get that right)

What exam board do you do for maths?

edexcel

Hi - for AS I did Maths, Further Maths, French, Economics and Physics
For the englishes (don't know if that's how you say it haha) I just did a lot of practice essays/papers and made sure I had at least a paragraph on any possible question that could come up

Yeah, Im actually terrible at English essays, I find it hard to come up with diverse ways of writing paragraphs etc. I can analyse a poem very well, but writing an essay on it is a no no.

For maths I went from a D to and A in about 2 months, I just watched lots of past papers and did edexcel worksheets which you can find Here. On YouTube there is on guy who helped me tremendously his name is 'Achieve Maths', I used to watch on of his past paper walkthroughs every day before i went to bed. To push yourself to an A* i think theres a GCSE A* Questions only worksheet, i would link it buts its a DOC file so I will link the google page which Is Here and its the last one down

Hii- thanks for the info!
...About the GCSE A* Questions only worksheet do you mind linking it again please, because I cant seem to find them

Thank you, young sir.

I bid you a goodnight.

Hm I see the problem, when I click on the link the questions don't show up for me also.



HAHAR after extensive research I have found one of them
