Chemistry:I'm finding it difficult to revise organic chemistry aspect of chemistry. I understand most of the content and yet, when it comes to the past paper questions I struggle very much. It's frustrating being stuck every question or so but I did pick up chemistry knowing how difficult it was going to be so just trying to persevere.
Biology: So far, i have not spent much time on this so i'm taking this half term to re-revise any topics we done so far and attempt past paper questions on them. If i have time, i would possibly look into revising some of the topic from last year as well, just to stay on top of things.
Maths: I''m enjoying working on core 3 questions and S1 questions and all the content seems to come together as i do past paper questions, which is nice for once to be honest!
:smile:
Aiming to :
Finish the 10 organic past paper questions
Finish a core 3 past paper - work on the weak areas such as integration
Make bio notes and memorise the topic.

I have recently made a timetable for my revision after feeling like my revision is going a bit slow and perhaps not productive as i would have liked. I'm willing to motivate myself to stick to the time table i created as best as i can.
Currently, i'm on a work experience placement at a hospital therefore i don't have much time to revise as i would have liked but that's okay. I'm managing okay so far.
I have recently discovered more effective way of studying bio - first memorising then trying past paper questions then reviewing any past paper question that i've got wrong. This at the moment seems like a good technique. I have a photosynthesis test coming up so i'm going to test this and see if it's effective,i'll keep you guys updated on this.
Overall, my favourite quote to get me through the revision is :
" PUSH YOURSELF. BECAUSE, NO ONE ELSE IS GOING TO DO IT FOR YOU!"

Hey, good luck in your journey in Medicine.

I've applied to Leicester, UEA and Bristol too :smile:. Where's your first choice?

31/10/2017 : 28 weeks left till exams!!
Honestly can't believe it's 1st of November tomorrow! I have updated my timetable to make it more detailed and set specific times that i should be studying every day.
Despite going back to sixth form for two days, I am exhausted! But, I do feel like i'm getting a lot of stuff done in chemistry and biology. We are doing photosynthesis so i have completed almost all
the topic by questions on physics and maths tutor. I'm just trying to memorise the mark scheme answers that i have been repeatedly getting wrong. I'm not sure if memorising the mark
scheme is helpful or not for biology, let me know if any of you guys have already taken or is doing A- level bio:smile:!

Unfortunately i am behind a lot of core 3 this week , i'm planning to set aside this weekend to catch up if everything goes well.

My quote of the day for me today would be : "You're an idiot.Study Harder":biggrin: This seems to reflect my current situation.
