My Revision Diary! March-June!

Hello everyone after very disappointing results for my Jan AS exams I swore to myself that I will actually work hard and get A's/B's in the summer.

So I'm going to do a "diary" of my revision on a daily basis until I finish my exams in June.

You may ask what is the point of this? This will make me stay motivated to actually do revision as I will be wanting to post on what I do daily.

Subjects I do:

Chemistry
Physics Force and the newton, Motion with non-constant acceleration, Equilibrium
Psychology
I.T

So I'm going to start revision this Monday- 11th March.
I will be posting on what I have revised/how long/main events @ school/ outside school.

Thanks for reading feel free to join in too :tongue:

Monday 11th March :

(Extra) Started gym again :smile:

double motivation

Didn't do MUCH revision as I had to stay at school late to do I.T.

Tuesday 12th March--

Now to right up some psychology notes :/ What a great Saturday!

Sunday 17th March
Topic done today

Physics: Density. Pressure, Car stopping distances, Car safety

Took ages for both subjects (mainly because I done a lot of questions)
Not doing psychology today because I have a headache lol.

Monday 18th March

Done 1:30hr of physics today. (Work "Joules) Kinetic Energy and GPE.

Tuesday 19th Mar

Done loadssss of psychology today and quiet abit of Chemistry ��

Wednesday 20th March

Done very little revision, was so tired!

and also done Disproportionation.

Also done tons more psychology notes

Friday 22nd March

Done no revision (apart from my two free periods). Go out and play football on Fridays and when I come back I'm too tired to even read a book

Saturday 23rd March

Done soo much revision today, finished all the topics for Physics and started a past paper. (Thursday May 2009). Got 41/60, not sure what grade that will be. Tbh even if it was a decent grade I won't be overally happy because older papers are easier than papers now.

Few more topics on chemistry then I will start doing past papers. Probably on Monday.

Sunday 24th March

finished all topics for chemistry, gone over everything and do a few questions.

also read my other book for extra physics ininformation

Monday 25th March

i done my chemistry paper and got an A , (obviously its an older paper so it's easier than papers now)

done another physics paper and got a C, went over all corrections and now can do those questions.

Finished with reading over psychology notes and revising for the test I I have on Wednesday.

Tuesday 26th March

Went through all my papers again and done more indepth reading for physics

Wednesday 27th March

EASTER HOLIDAYS YAYYY..nvm going to be full of revision.

Done another chem and physics unit 1 paper. Got 44/45 out of 60 which is either a strong C or a low B. Want to aim for around 48-50 out of 60 for both

Thursday 28th March

Basically done revision from when I woke up till I left for a party at 6 , not sure what I done on that day tbh lol. (Editing this Friday night)

Tuesday April 2nd (STARTING UNIT 2 REVISION)

(still quiet ill but have to force to do revision) :frown:

I have Done the topics , Electrical Charge, Kirchoff's Law and Electron Drift Velocity. ( Don't FULLY understand Drift Velocity so will get more help when i go back to school.

For Chemistry: I'm going to ( on an hour break) 5 topics-
Introduction to Organic Chemistry
Naming Hydrocarbons
Naming Compounds with functional groups
Formula of Organic Compounds
Structural and Skeletal Formula

All easy chemistry stuff so got them done quick

Will see if i cba to do psychology ( Didn't do any lol)

Wednesday April 3rd

Just finished 2hrs of psychology, writing and re-reading notes.

Going to have a break then start some Physics 4-6. Make notes on Unit 2 and go over over Driving Safety topic in unit 1. - EDIT Did physics ended up finishing at 8 lol. Not sure what time i started.

I covered the topics:
EMF
Potential Diffidence
Resistance and Ohm's Law
Resistance of circuit components
Resistivity

(Didn't want to force myself to do Unit 1 stuff, got tired of physics).

Finished Chemistry :smile:

Read through all the notes i made today and yesterday

Time to play games for ages and it's getting to 1 a.m yaay

Thursday 4th April

Motivation was so low today :frown:

I didn't even read through past notes. So no work done today :/.

Going to loads tomorrow though.

Friday 5th April

Today I have done 5 topics for chemistry.

Alkenes
Reaction of alkenes
Further addition reactions of alkenes.

Re-Read through all the past chemistry notes too.

For Physics:

The effect of temperature on resistivity
Electrical Power
Domestic Electrical Supply
Charging for Electrical energy

Psychology:

The big topic: "Why do people obey" and re-read some notes from earlier.

Saturday 6th April

Didn't do everything today. Only completed Physics and Psychology. Also completed a unit 1 past paper and achieved 44/60. (B).

Monday 11th March -

Never revise saying I will revise 1 hour of maths and 1 hour of chemistry etc. Revise saying I will finish these chapters today and these chapters tomorrow, then you wont have time as your enemy. :tongue:

At the beginning of the day, make a checklist of all you want to cover and regardless of how busy your day is, you should aim to do some revision ( excluding note taking and homework) on at least 3 of you 4/5 AS subjects.
