Morning all!
This is my first time doing this sort of thing but I'm really excited about it!
I'm currently in Year 13 studying 3 A-Levels in History (AQA), Psychology (AQA) and Biology (Edexcel SNAB) . I'm predicted A*A*A* on UCAS but two of the A*s in History and Biology are actually A*/A. So in reality I'm predicted from A*A*A*-A*AA.
I've applied through UCAS to study History at University starting in September 2018. I've applied to Exeter (History with Study Abroad), Warwick, Birmingham, Durham and Oxford. I've already got an offer from Exeter and I'm hoping that more will come soon! I'm also hoping for an unconditional from Birmingham (though this may be too optimistic but we'll see!). I've got the HAT test for Oxford soon so that's a big stressful event at the moment.
I got very good GCSE's (including 9A*s) so this is no worry in regard to Uni applications.
My goal with this blog is to motivate myself to revise more as well as to meet some lovely people to study with online. My highest offer will be A*AA so I want to grow my grades as much as I can to get one A* at least, but ideally I'd be capable of reaching it in all 3 subjects just in case an exam goes badly. Therefore I'd love to grow my grades to A*A*A*.
These are very high grades but all I can do is my best and if I don't reach them, then I know I've at least tried.
(This also applied to my goal of studying at Oxford- if I don't get in, at least I've tried. The process made me a better historian and meant my personal statement was of a better quality and my UCAS form went in much earlier than it would have done. If I get to the interview stage and then don't get in, at least I got more interview experience.)
My plan is to update you on my revision plans of the day as well as revision snacks I make, any books I've read or any tips for revision. I'll also be documenting when things go wrong and hopefully how I overcome them and improve! I'll try to include pictures where possible.
Feel free to ask my any questions as we go and I hope everyone enjoys my blog!
Thanks!
