Powering my grades, Watt a journey! A Y12 GYG

When does uni start back?

Oh that makes sense
True, but that will be at most a suggestion though One of the people in my chem class got just over 30% in their baseline, and was told for pretty much all of Year 12 to drop it but ended up completing the course. I have no idea what he got though

Tag me please Laura 😎

will do!
I think they said something about discrete maths? But haven’t actually told us our modules (they’ll probably go through it when we get our textbook next week)

I know Especially as ‘the school recommends’ that (for sixth form) that you do 1 hour outside of school for every lesson you have That’s 20 hours indépendant study, so 17 at home minus my frees!
This gal does not have that sort of time after school / weekends

already two days at school?! I've loved it ngl

Y12s went back on thursday (no idea why lol) and so we got our timetables then and everything I have 3 frees a week one on each mon, tue, wed other than that, lessons all the time in-between!
We have 2 teachers for each subject and i like all of them!

Thursday:
chemistry: met our teacher, who i had in y9! just talked through the course and had a 'welcome to a-levels' speech also we have a test on monday and we have to get over 65%
fm: was very fun but very confusing! we did about different types of number, (real, irrational, complex etc.) and then we did imaginary numbers blew my tiny mind a bit
geography: looked at different types of maps/presenting maps
maths: just another introduction, and did some algebra practise Got set some homework which i've just about finished!
fm: different teacher, did some boring graph/network stuff

Friday:
geography: did some more map stuff and coloured some in ourselves! Who said geography was just cutting and sticking?
> I had a medical appointment so left in geography and got back near the end of lunch <
so missed chemistry and fm
chemistry: met our other teacher, who's really nice! did some stuff about atoms
maths: had our teacher from last year did some algebra questions and got told we have a test next friday!!

The lessons today went so fast it was crazzzyyyyyy
So exciting! Loving sixth form so far

Thank you all for commenting on the gyg so far! Keep smiling!
How's your start to school/college been?

Great to hear the first days have been good

Best of lick with those tests

yay glad you're enjoying sixth form! i also have two tests next week (chem, maths), good luck for your tests! x

Ah, decision, discrete, it's the same thing - just a lot of algorithms.
At least if you've got so many lessons per week that you only have 3 free periods you should get through the content pretty quickly - either that or you end up doing the revision during classes.

Thanks Groot!
Hope you’re doing well?

Thank you!
Snap best of luck for next week

Ahh fair enough, thanks!
We have 5 lessons of each subject per week (2 with one teacher, 3 with another) so for me that’s 20 hours, 1 for EPQ (ughhh) and 1 for PSME (like learning about drugs/alcohol/ucas etc etc), then 3 frees
Hoping you’re well sinnoh

No worries

I’m well thanks

Hehe of course!!
i really need to get better at reading yours

Aw it's great to see that you've had such a good start!

Ahh I guess since they're treating further maths as a whole separate subject it takes up a lot more room. For me we were just in our own set throughout 6th form but with more maths lessons per week
and yeh I'm doing well thanks I am now closer to starting uni than results day

Nooooooooooooooo, dw about reading mine at all hun! You've got a lot on to keep you busy enough without adding pressure or extra reading Plus I know I have your support anyway

That makes sense that going straight to courses would be a better option. Awww thank you. Ohhh, why didn’t you go???

Depends on the type of school I guess! Ours is very graded dependant as we’re rural so need all the funding we can get
I had NCS when the induction days were on

Ours is a catholic school so we got like religious welcome to school at the start 😂😂😂 ohhh are they strict with grades? Same but ours is in debt 😂 ohhhhh omg you did NCS? When was your first week?

Ahhh ours is CofE, but they don’t do a special welcome
Not particularly, but better grades=more funding so it does matter when we run out of whiteboard pens/paper
Yeahhh I really enjoyed it!! My first week was the 24th of June when did you do yours?

Whats a CofE. Ohhhh. Wait do you get given paper for notes or is it like for printing. That’s so early I did mine later July like 22nd July.
