It's going smoothly so far. I just need to focus in on my weaknesses now. I'm mostly working at Bs and Cs in past papers. Hoping to push that up to a few As. Honestly, I just can't wait till the exams are over. You?

this is my final year :biggrin:

after that i can just chill and enjoy a great gap year. But first i need to get myself in the best position as possible and get all A/A*s. Hard work is paying off as past papers are at Grade A/A* mostly. Biology taking the piss though as it is becoming hard to gain those stupid specific marks :angry:

What revision...

its in between, I should of done way more than what I have done but hopefully I should of revised for all my exams by end of march hopefully.

I wished I never got a unconditional offer as it pulled my motivation and worrying down to an extent, but I still think I'm near enough ready for my exams, I just want them to be over already lol

Mine is going great for maths, but not really for my other subjects. Not motivated at all to revise for essay subjects!

I understand this a lot, I do psychology and theres so much essays to learn by heart and I have to go over them every day or I'll just forget them and have to start the memorising process again :rolleyes:

Ah, are you planning on doing anything particular in your gap year?

Yeah, it's annoying because I keep losing marks over things like key words.

Alright in general. I currently have four further maths A2 modules that I'm getting over 90% in so I just need to work on FP4 for a fifth. An A* is pretty much guaranteed.
For biology I'm on track for an A and I don't need to put much work in to achieve that. I'm not aiming for A* because that would take too much time from my others.
For chemistry I'm generally getting high As or low A*s, so need to put a bit more time into doing past papers to get that up to a consistent mid to high A*.
For physics I understand all of the content perfectly, but I'm still struggling on getting A*s in past papers. Again, more time needs to be spent on past papers.
For STEP, after months of hard work it's all starting to come together. I understand the exam a lot more now and find it much easier. Some STEP I-II questions are even starting to seem trivial, although most questions and all STEP III are still very difficult. I feel like I'm doing well in it, but I need to keep working hard to get to the point where I can answer 6 questions well in the three hours. I also need to quickly study more mechanics in depth to allow me to answer a few more questions per exam.
