pls hit me w everything you have lmaooo
Write up a schedule and buy some stuff for revision. You are less likely to miss revising if you spend time and money into planning it.

What I did is make a 6-day revision plan a week and purchased pens, paper, all the stationary. I am on my third week and have only missed one day of my revision which I will recover this week.

sure!
-think about what you want right now. Why are you doing these exams? Where do you want to go?
-saying that, you need to set short term goals. What you could do is print out your specification and highlight it. If you don’t get it, write it down
-I have a spotify playlist of all my favourite songs which I listen to-I feel like it fills the gap of social media as I love working to music
-take bbc bitesize test, do it in your bed for all I care
-do your homework when its set, do it at school in the lesson when you feel bored as then you have more time to relax at home!
-learn your formulas and definitions for easy marks
-finally, picture yourself with the grades you want
You’ll be fine!

Lol you have it worse with all those brainy people.
To be honest, try and compete with them and you’ll have good motivation.
Do your work at your own pace, do it in the lesson, whatever, just do it. Don’t do hours of work a day, 20 minutes a day is ok!
Work efficiently and you’ll be fine
Do internet quizzes when you feel lazy, for topic revision

Hey again!
I hate revision timetables, why the hell would I want my life planned out for the next year. Just buy a planner and write down every piece of homework and revision in a list form, with deadlines, and do it at your own pace. If you get distracted, I recommend playing your favourite songs and singing along, as it’s just as good as social media. Also, close your door so you don’t get disturbed, and turn off snapchat notifications. X

When I'm feeling de-motivated I open up AutoTrader, query up my dream car, look at the price - there's my motivation.
