Hi! Call me Shad! It's not my real name but people call me that so we'll go with it.
Tune in for:
How I'm revising, what I need to work on and how I'm handling my workload
Pictures of how I'm organising myself for those stationaryholics out there!
Mental health, how I'm feeling at particular points in time
Food!
And most of all an abundance of Peaky Blinders GIFs!
+ A Q&A Thursday as of December 26th!

By the time exams have come along I'd like for myself as well as all of you to be walking into our exams looking as bad-ass as these brilliant people. (By now you can probably tell I'm a Peaky Blinders fanatic.)
Having just started my two-week Christmas holiday following Mocks, it's been relieving to be able to actually relax and unwind for a few days. My exams went well considering the sacrifices put in; which essentially consisted of just binging content on youtube the night(s) before...
The subjects I've taken are as follows:
AQA Art
English Language (Edexcel)
English Literature (Edexcel)
French (Edexcel)
Physics (AQA triple)
Biology (AQA triple)
Chemistry (AQA triple)
History (Edexcel)
Computing (OCR)
Religious Studies (Edexcel)
Maths (Edexcel)
and potentially AQA Level 2 Further Maths, I'll look through the content and if advice deems so I'll decide then.
In terms of Mock results I'm hoping for 8s and 9s mostly. I believe I'll receive them on returning to school, first week back AT PARENTS EVENING.
Basically I don't want to repeat the late-night gruelling procrastination I had to do for Mocks. It took a physical and mental toll. I could do with revision tips for a variety of subjects above, particularly English, the humanities and Computing. And French...I don't struggle particularly with it but in terms of vocabulary I've barely touched the specification or any lists as such...
This isn't a road to ALL 9s by the way. Art is a very weak subject of mine and as the title suggests motivation is my bane.
Please share any advice and ask around!
UPDATE: Mocks were alright you could say. A range of 7s, 8s and 9s, but wasn't over the moon with them. I'll list them here actually:

But following these exams I've realised that I want to do better. In fact, I know I CAN do better. It's resilience and perseverance that I'm relying on to ensure I perform to the best of my potential.
So let's get on with it!
Here's some irrelevant personal stuff you guys might like to know about me I guess

Update: Changed my name as you've noticed! Just wanted to say thank you for all the support this year again. I know my ending post was the emotional roller coaster you didn't expect but I'd like to reiterate on the fact that were it not for you guys, I wouldn't have pulled through and put my head down after receiving that sheet of paper with my mock results on it. All that support, all that motivation. Thank you.
