Yeah it's whatever works best for you and if that makes you more productive then it is probably for the best :smile:



Well done - and I have the IT OCR national as my first exam and we've only just been told what the exam is based on so I have to start revising too :biggrin:

So I only managed to do a few Q Cards

Yeah...I've considered revising before school but since I have to leave at 7:25am I'd have to wake up at like 5:30...NO THANK YOU :laugh:
I'm back at school on Monday so hopefully I'll still have some motivation left when I get home as it'll be 4 weeks then! :eek4:
And you're welcome :smile:

Ah I know I can tell our teachers will be like that! The only thing that's worrying me is I have 19 'proper' school days left and we haven't even finished learning content yet! :eek3:
I'm curious - when do you guys all get study leave? We seem to be getting it very early (13th May) as its before exams even begin! :smile:

Haha :smile: Aw for science? I mean you could try teaching yourself if it works - with a textbook and videos on youtube or even someone could explain it to you like someone older than you etc. To be honest i am THE worst person to ever meet when it comes to explaining especially for maths. Tbh i get really annoyed when someone doesn't understand something so easy like factorising in YEAR 11. :angry:
I will literally call them dumb - Yes i am that bad :smile: I just don't understand though

Yeah it is mainly science - I've made notes on most topics but some of them don't really make sense - I'll try the YouTube thing though and hope that works!
And I'm literally the same with people not understanding concepts that are so basic to me - which is so so bad as my ideal job is a maths teacher!! I am however learning to stay calm and explain things in a way people can understand (and not resorting to laughing or shouting at them anymore :colone:) as I get asked for help a lot in lessons

Aw, it's a shame if you don't get it - I'm relying on it personally.
Definitely speak to your teachers about it, you might just persuade them :wink:

I know I'm sooo bad for laughing! :s-smilie: But admittedly sometimes they do deserve it (once the boy who sits next to me drew out the graph of y=cosx for a really easy multiple choice question and I couldn't help myself :laugh:)

So lucky! We're getting it on the 27th May. After we complete half of our exams:frown:
So today I went out and didn't get to do much revision. I only managed to revise a bit of RE( exactly a month left before my RE exam!).
However, I did do some revision at school so I guess that's alright.:smile:
