Biology unit 4 DONE!!!

I am finally done with it!!! (so relieved)

I don't know how I did, but I found the exam a bit hard, lengthy but not impossible! Had a bad handwriting so hopefully they will understand what I wrote. GLAD that I finished on time like seriously that was freaking me so much since I never finished on time in the past papers I used to solve at home. And I am so glad that I revised a little bit of As yesterday which actually benefited me a little for the exam

Chemistry unit 5 on 22nd and Biology unit 5 on 23rd

Ugh, don't even know where to start, so much past papers left for each, so much revision, the scientific article will also consume some time. Hope everything will go well

Hey! I know I am little late, but after reading many of the blogs, I decided to do my own to motivate myself.

My past
Well at GCSE i got A* A*AAAABB with an A* in Maths (194/200) and in Arabic (90/100) (I was 1 mark off an A* in Physics and 3 marks off in ICT) . Honestly at GCSE I was totally moving in the wrong direction, I had friends who didn't care about what results would they get so did I, until I have realized about 3 weeks before exams that I really want to study in the UK ( I am an international student) so I tried really hard in the last minute to cope with the subjects and ended up going to exams with just solving 3 past papers of each subject.

I was surprisingly impressed with my results and decided that I really have to work hard in year 12 so I did and got 3As at AS-Level in Chemistry, Maths and Biology

Now
so I started year 13 thinking I just have to cope with my teachers and do well as in AS but SURPRISINGLY I have found out that my school don't offer A2 chemistry and Biology anymore due to lack of students (actually there were only two) so I decided that I have to study them on my own

I have also decided that I need to do A2 maths in January to relieve some of the stress, and since my Maths teacher refused to give any help, I taught it to myself and did it
January Exam Results

Spoiler

My classmates always criticized me and told me that this year I will feel how to get a U like, it has left a serious impact on myself so I want to prove to them and to myself that I am capable of doing it

I want to get 3A* (After January results now I am aiming for A*A*A in Chemistry, Biology and Maths respectively) because my parents don't have the capability to pay the full international fees + accommodation + living costs so I need to get 3A* to guarantee that my firm university will offer me a scholarship as it's really competent and so I can live my dream of studying in the UK and be proud of myself for a once.

I am so distracted and really scared that I won't achieve it so I made this blog to motivate me to follow my dream and not to give up!

Dude, seriously. So much respect for you! Good luck and all the best. It's so easy for some people over here to take the opportunities they have for granted- you fully deserve to be here!

Thank you so much man like I truly appreciate every word you have just said!! :h:

Hopefully, I will be there next year and if I did the marks which I believe hopefully I will, I guarantee you that this would be the happiest moment of my life!!
Hope everything's okay, BB :smile: I thought that CHEM4 was fun! :tongue: Although I probably didn't do too well, it was pretty interesting.

Hey Ayman! Thank you and yeah everything's going approximately okay! What about you ?

How's CHEM5 ? (hopefully well)

Same - "approximately okay" is the best way to describe my situation. :lol:

Luckily I knew what to do on that graph! Probably lost a few because my sketch was disgusting and my volume scale was off. All in all, an okay U4.

CHEM5 is hard as crap lol. The IAL papers are so nasty...

I am doing okay I guess, because it could've have been a lot worse, like not on track but on an alternative route which hopefully is what does it need to get those A*

I have followed some of them, thank you btw, they were beneficial, I couldn't go to the bathroom or take as much as 5 minutes rests because I was running out of time but I did finish on time which I am quite happy about :h:

Good to know that my advices were beneficial to you. Maybe you have the permission to leave the room for 5 up to 10 minutes to rest when you are in exam situations. If you have, you should do that when it is most urgently.
