(Note: I was inspired by greentron6's A-Level Journey to do my own, he achieved A*AAA and going to Imperial to Biochemistry with German for Science and he was studying Biology, Chemistry, Maths and German. Credit to him as I followed his format and some sentences in this opener. I said I would do my own come the start of the new academic year and I just remembered an hour ago so I have to follow through.)Previous academic results: GCSE: 5As 5Bs; AS level: B in Maths
Current studying: AQA Biology, OCR A Chemistry, Edexcel Maths
My goals: Much less procrastination, following my routines for working for Year 13, and to aim for A*A*A inall three A-level subjects! However I essentially want AAA but you've gotta aim for the bullseye to get high scores.
The majority of Year 12, I was also doing Physics but when I realised I wanted to Biochemistry at uni, I dropped the subject because I didn't need it. I was doing very well in it but time could have been used into other subjects.
Personal advice: Just do 3 A-Levels, I've seen it first hand from other people as well.
Edit: Full transparency: As of 29/08/2017 my most recent mocks for Biology and Chemistry were
B and
C respectively (2 stupid basic marks away from a B in both Chem exams) Sigh plus I had work experience during mocks so yeah if I had a few more days to go over it... HOWEVER my mocks before that were D & U as I was coasting through the year and Physics really took time out so I do think I found my mojo quite late into the year.
As of 29/08/2017, I'm looking to apply for Biochemistry at Imperial, Bristol, York, Birmingham and King's, offers ranging from AAA-ABB. Preferably Imperial and Bristol since the way UCAS offer system works and course content too.
However with hard work, determination and my vision of how to tackle Year 13, I believe I am capable of achieving A* across all my three subjects! Let’s do this!
General aim for the rest of 2017 is to complete all notes covering the whole specification for Biology and Chemistry & to cover C3 and C4 Mathematics.
My summer has been very busy with a lot of summer schools, work experience, events etc. so my general revision plans for this year ****ed up.
I'm going over rewriting notes for AS Biology because I don't like my current ones so hopefully I can finish that and hopefully start rolling through the start of the A2 content for all subjects within the next 6 days....
Gotta go BEAST MODE.
(Hopefully, a few of you guys follow my journey and this motivates you to also achieve your goals!)
