Hello, and welcome to: Jake's Average -> Awesome Blog
This blog was mainly created with the intention of motivating me and getting the input from others on how I can help study and get better!
Background:
Spoiler
Uni: I'm interested in the MSci CompSci at Birmingham University and also a couple of other courses. To be safe, I'm going for A*, A*, A to ensure I am a good candidate for the position.
I'm also interested in Pharmacology potentially, a little bit of a switch - but I'm currently working in a Pharmacy and gaining experience and qualifications and finding out how much of an interesting environment it is. We'll see how AS year goes before I decide.
Sixth Form/Courses: I'm studying: Computer Science - OCR Chemistry - (Need to find out board) Biology - (Need to find out board) Physics - (Need to find out board)
Aiming for A* in CompSci and an A* in Chemistry, ideally it would be in Physics but we'll see, obviously dependent on what I drop at A2
Prep/Schedule:
Books: Yr1 Chemistry Yr1 Physics Yr1 Biology (ordered) Computing - need to get
Any advice on what books/resources to look at would be awesome!
I'm going to try and post as much as I can, because I feel the more I share, the more responses I can potentially get and advice I can recieve, because - I know this will be hard.
I'm aiming to put the posts in sections about the various subjects and things I've done/found hard etc.
Gonna get this moved to Grow your grades when it starts, even more motivation
Initial Sixth Form Impressions: I like it, more work - of course, but more focused work on the subjects I enjoy, which is nice. Free periods are like god send, was able to go home at 1pm today!
Going to hard to work hard and effectively to get my desired grades, but hopefully if I stay motivated, I'll be fine.
