My Road to A* everywhere

I finally remembered to update you guys.

Went over B1-7 and did all the post 2012 past papers. I got an A star for all of them.

Went over History Unit 1 making sure I knew dates and years. More simple than I had initially thought.

Looked over Business past paper and mark schemes. Idk why but I find Business piss easy.

Went on Hegarty maths ( hoping to finish all the topics by this week ).

Went over P7. Didn't do any past papers.

I will now go over my French speaking questions and on that bombshell....

UPDATE 04/04/16

Hey people

So today, I went to the dentist and it took forever

... However, I got quite a bit done

YAY

Very well done - you've achieved a lot. How are you enjoying your Easter break? :smile:

I've got 2 things:

1) Keep a notebook nearby each time you revise and whenever you get distracted write down what it is that distracts you, then you can see how many times, say, your phone distracts you, or if your mind wanders and that way you can look at ways to tackle it

2) If you get distracted by things in your room, try going to the library or a cafe somewhere, maybe even a friends house (as long as you both want to study). The change of scenery can also help you take in information :smile:

I wish I took geography as an option. :frown:

I chose computing because it might be interesting but it's hard and the theory isn't very interesting at all.
I was actually interested in geography too :frown:

How do you find Geography exams?

It's really interesting, but there are soooo many case studies - I think we have about 35 to memorise for the exams and the 8 mark questions require such specific detail it is unreal. Saying that though, I don't think I would swap the subject for anything else, because it is so varied and there are endless possibilities for the subject :smile:

any advice would be very much appreciated by her, thanks :smile:

How did you do that?? P7 is really hit and miss with me - I'm so interested in the content but the exams are horrific! :s-smilie:

Idk. I just like physics because of the astrology bit of it and everything. It just sticks. I just apply the knowledge to the paper. However, sometimes just the knowledge alone won't help you.At times it's as easy as common sense. Let me know if you need some help though.

Thank you, yeah I have tried to! So far I am a quarter way through what I need to do today :/

Awh, I hope you managed to get a little more done this evening, but if not then don't worry about it- tomorrow's a new day! :smile:

Hey, I recommend trying to condense each sub-topic into revision cards :smile:

for content heavy subjects I think revision cards are really useful as they're portable so you can carry them in your bag and go through them on the way to and from school, or in the morning before school starts, or with a parent / sibling in the evening. I'd also say to focus on learning a few bible quotes as they boost your mark when you use them to justify your points or opinion (at least that's the case with my exam board). Good luck to your friend :smile:
