Don’t be worried. Just work hard and efficiently. Not everyone can spend hours revising. Look up ways on spending time revising and getting some work done.

1 hour 30 min of work is pretty impressive. Relax and then get your head back to your studies. Having a regulated routine helps.

You’re welcome.
Also I think you should expect responses from your unis around March since many aim to give offers before the end of March :smile:

Monday was ok we just looked at mass spectroscopy in chemistry and looked at the light independent reaction in biology.In maths I just did some work on my laptop to prepare myself for the resit after lunch.I had a free before lunch so I continued to practice more maths questions.I think I did ok at the resit it was the exact same paper we did during mocks.I think I managed to get the trigonometry questions right.I still can't do 3 questions on that paper I will need to ask for some help to make sure I can do them eventually.

I studied for 2 hours in the library.I looked at hypothesis testing and started looking at A2 analytical techniques.I found out I was rejected from Bristol I feel quite disappointed as it took them quite a while to get back to me yet it was bad news.I hope to get an offer from Warwick and Manchester.I have a feeling that Bath and Edinburgh will also reject me.

Aww that’s sad to hear. I hope you feel better. Take it as someone who got rejected from three of his five choices. Each rejection should make you stronger. Don’t fret on these rejections, focus on the ones who haven’t responded.

How does UCAS extra work?How do you know which courses you can apply for?

Basically once you have rejected all your choices. You can choose to go to UCAS extra where until June, you have unlimited chances but must apply to one uni at a time. Calling or emailing a uni is the preferred option. Ask if they have space on a course and tell them your predicted grades, if they say it’s okay, apply.

Thank you for letting me know.I can't believe Kent and Surrey rejected you but Warwick accepted.

You’re welcome. I couldn’t believe it either but it’s their loss. I’m here enjoying myself and I’m glad I got accepted.

Today was a very long day I had 2 frees in the morning I absolutely hate morning frees as by the time you start lessons you are already tired.I prefer to have lessons in the morning as you can get through them when you have most energy.I did more hypothesis testing, which I think I understand now which makes me quite happy.As soon as I am done going through the AS hypothesis testing I want to move on to A2 hypothesis testing.I don't know where to get started when it comes to chemistry.By the end of the week we will be done with Biology and Chemistry content.Only statistics left in maths and we are done with all content.

I am trying to get back to my 5am start routine, today I woke up at 5 and finished writing up my core practical.I am feeling rather tired and not too motivated.I know what it is that I need to do but it seems like I am making too much excuses and just need to get on with the work.I am struggling to work during my frees I don't think that school is a great environment to study as it is open plan so it is not that quiet.I wish we had study rooms with desks.
