Familiarise myself with my English exam technique, and to read questions thoroughly. I think I lost ~30 marks in my English exam, dragging me down several grades, from misreading the questions.
•
Physics - Revise P1 thoroughly, doing past papers on the way, identifying my weaknesses within P1, and P2. This is especially important if I decide to do Physics instead of CompSci at A-Level, if it's not available at my school.
•
French - This is a hard subject to improve in. MFLs are probably the only GCSEs you can't cram for, unfortunately, so I'm going to look into French vocab a bit over the holidays.
•
Maths - To learn the important Further Maths concepts (although I'm getting a bit ahead of myself, practicing with C1/S1 work XD).
•
Maths - I've familiarised myself with a decent amount of C1 material, although I know that's child's play compared to the later modules. Even C2 is looking pretty daunting, to say the least, at first glance, but I guess I had the same feeling when I first saw C1 material. I have been reading through an S1 revision document, but I am in nowhere near the position to start doing any practice yet. Today, I did a lot of work on surds, which may help me with GCSE, although I'm unaware if they'll throw them into the exam, it's good to know them regardless. It was one of the things on my first test, which I think I may have got that C on, but now they seem simple. If anyone wants me to make some notes on them, I'll do so and post them here. I will start doing that with various Maths topics. If they help just one person, I will be content. It is also revision for me, so it's mutually beneficial. I am aware I will be doing the linear spec at A-Level, but the basic principles, and what you learn overall, will remain mostly the same, so this time is still extremely valuable. Doing A-Level Maths, essentially, goes far further than GCSE into getting a good grasp into the concepts and topics, which I love, and I find really interesting. This has only enforced my desire to take it at A-Level!

Maths - Learn the cosine rule and its applications. Learn circle theorems and vectors, although I've said that several trillion times, I haven't forgotten about them, they're just on my TODO list. I will also do some S1 work, and maybe some FP1 [Further Maths AS] work, if I feel like diminishing my confidence in Maths.
•
Biology - Compile B2 and B3 notes [so far].
•
Physics - Compile P2 notes and start learning P3 topics slowly, particularly the ones I have an interest in, if there are any. I haven't really looked!
•
Chemistry - Compile C1 and C2 notes, and start making notes on fermentation and ethanol production, which I have started, from C3.
•
French - Probably very little.
•
English - As above. I am going to practice a bit of analysation of unseen texts, since that seems to be my downfall.
•
Religious Studies - There's a new one! I'm going to start making notes on Judaism and Christian Ethics, especially Judaism because my teacher wasn't really an RS teacher, but rather a general Sociology, Psychology teacher. He relied on notes, and couldn't really help us outside of that. We have a new teacher, who will hopefully bridge the gaps in what we've learnt. They seemed pretty nice in their trial lesson, which is very hopeful!
