Journey to proving ALL my teachers wrong - GCSE - Year 11

My first exam is religious studies unit 1 (edexcel), and tell me about it - there's just too many and I really haven't left myself much time at all...

Today was meant to be my fist day of study leave.

I woke up at 9:45, showered and dressed straight away, and got to work on a Physics practice paper.

At 11:20, I get a call from my mum saying that my Geography teacher can't find most of my controlled assessment work.
When we come into school for study leave, we have to wear uniform but we're allowed to wear our leaver's hoodie.
So I put my hoodie over my top and my school skirt over my skirt, abandoned my paper and got the train to school.

12:20, I arrive in school.

My Controlled Assessment work was where it had been ALL along.
I don't even know where she got the work she thought she had from (probably the bin...)
Then she told me to edit some bits, so I finished that off, left school at 1:15 (school closed early because it's the last day of term), got a sandwich, and got the train home.
I finished the Physics paper and got an A* - which I was surprised about because I missed out/made up a lot.
65.5% was an A*, so.....

I'm going to do another paper - probably Biology in a couple of minutes and at 5:45 I'm getting Pizza with friends.

but still good thing they called you!!!! Back in my GCSE days, my teachers mucked up my History AND Child development coursework. I was on track for an A and A* respectively. But some a piece of coursework that was full marks turned out to be a D when results came in, and 95% for my Child dev piece turned out to be a C. It knocked me down a grade to B and A respectively.

My first is RS too! But I do OCR.
I revise the case studies the night before - I read through everything for revision, but I write and rewrite and (attempt to) memorise them the night before, or I'll forget them all and get confused.

Ah cool!
For my mocks I just revised them the night before and tbh that worked out for me quite well, I managed to get some pretty good marks in the 8 mark questions so I might do it again, although I did have to do it selectively for my mocks as I simply didn't have enough time to do them all but luckily I chose wisely as both of the ones that came up I had revised!

I completely forgot to revise desert case studies for ecosystems and so I was standing outside of the exam hall revising - but luckily we didn't have to do the desert case studies.

My teacher "predicts" which case studies are going to be used for ecosystems, because they're in a cycle, and she's usually correct - but I'm still going to revise all of them.

Which units do you do for geography?
For physical I do The Restless Earth, Water on the Land and The Coastal Zone, and for human I do Population Change, Changing Urban Environments and Tourism.

I'm not relying on predictions, as there's no certainty that they'll come up. I'm just sticking to learning them all so that whatever does come up I'm prepared for. Revising them all is a good idea.

I do Restless Earth, Water on the Land and Ecosystems, and the same as you for Human Geography.

Good Luck!

Update 2

I am done!!! (Well I finished on Friday but the laptop I was using decided to crash)

RS Philosophy - Not too bad, I ended up using a bunch of knowledge I hadn't been taught in my unit 1, but I've done it before and got marks so meh.
Maths - I got 89 marks - the first paper I actually got 91, so I think I've got 180/200 which is 90% overall
Biology - I can't remember the paper at all... I don't think it went badly - all I remember is that were a lot of human biology questions which is what I expected.
Chemistry - C'est fantastique!!!! In my year the girls seemed to find it easier than the boys - so we'll see.
Physics - Meh.... The paper itself wasn't hard, but I was tired and my concentration kept wondering off to the other side of the room.
Geography (Human) - I think it went quite well...
Addmaths - Well everyone knows what happened there.... I've got at least 60, so there's a chance I've got an A.
English Lang - I have no clue whatsoever how I did. I was really excited for the exam, but some of the questions weren't great and neither was my "creative" piece, so we'll see,

I still really want 7A*s, 2As 1B but I have no idea about anything apart from Maths.

And now I get to relax for 2.5 months!!!

You've pulled through! Well done It's a shame I still have three to go

Good Luck!! Which exams do you have left?

Thanks! I have biology chemistry and physics left

So heya guys....
After my second report in which my predicted grades have decreased, I have decided to work even harder than I usually do to try and prove all my teachers who have said I can't get an A* wrong.
These are my targets. The first letter is my actual predicted grade, the second is the target I've set myself.

Maths - A*/A* (My teacher said in December that she didn't think I'd be able to get an A* but somehow my predicted grade is still an A*)
English Lang - A/A*
English Lit - unknown/A (My teacher was being very confusing about my predicted grade but I think it's a B)
Physics - A/A* (If I don't get an A* I will cry because I love physics. And my teacher gave almost everyone in my class an A....)
Chemistry - A/A* (Been getting straight A*s this year in Chemistry - teacher gave all the class an A as a predicted grade)
Biology - A/A (My grades have been very inconsistent this year. I would LOVE an A*, but I feel it's unlikely)
French - B/B (woo!)
Drama - B/A
Geography -A/A* (My last geography teacher mucked up my classes controlled assessments so all our predicted grades decreased)
RS - A/A*
FSMQ Additional Maths - Unknown/A
Actual predictions: 1A*, 6A*s, 3Bs
My Targets: 6A*s, 2As, 2Bs + A FSMQ

I don't want to go to Oxbridge so my "low grades" wouldn't affect that.
I want to study Physics at uni or maybe some time of engineering.

And my mocks are on Monday :0 - I'm freaking out so much!!

I wake up between 8:30-9:30, shower, chill for 30 minutes and then start revision. I revise for 2 hours, eat lunch, revise for 3.5-4 hours, take a break, 1 hour, then I have supper and chill.
I suffer from mild insomnia so if I can't fall asleep, I work from 10:00 till 11:30-12:00
I try and do at least 6.5 hours of revision a day

What I did yesterday: 2 Geography units, Maths, Additional Maths, more Geography
What I've done/plan on doing today: Drama, Maths, Geography, English, Chemistry

So yeah....
This will basically be a "blog", updating on how all my work is going and what my grades are....
