A quick update
I've had some exams and completed core science. They have all gone quite well! Anyway I am sorry for not updating this too much, but I will do a big update at the end of this week!
Update
Only 3 more exams left. Today I finished my final biology module revision. Tomorrow I am moving onto past papers for biology then onto chemistry revision! :smile:

Just OCR 21st Century Science! The AQA equivalent of unit 1 is like our B1B2B3, C1C2C3 e.t.c
AQA unit 3's are our B7 C7 P7, big modules!

Exam Review

C7 Exam- 9/10. A few stupid mistakes on the awkward six markers but good overall. Heavy data analysis in these last 7 exams though.

Final Revision Day

So this is my last post for what revision I am doing but I may post during the holidays as well to account what I do. Also, near college time, an A level GYG may begin (so close). :smile:

•

P7 content review

•

4 past papers done and corrected. 53/60, 54/60 55/60, 51/60. Hopefully these scores can be replicated in exams.

Also, I will post results here on results day. Hope you all achieve the grades you want and bye :wink:

Thank you! Making a thread like this was a great motivation to keep going, even when procrastination becomes tempting. Can't wait for the three month break :u:
