Hello, I've seen many students using these form of posts in order to motivate themselves and to keep a track of improvement. Subsequently, I will be using this thread for the same reasons!
Should anyone want to contribute revision tips or anything, that will obviously be appreciated.
My targets for GCSEs are:
English Literature: 7
English Language: 7
Mathematics: 8
Double Science IGCSE: AA
Religious Studies: A
History: A
Business Studies: A
Graphics: B
Resistant Materials: A
Thus:
1A*, 8As, 1B
In my mocks (February-Early March), I did better than expected, yet I believe that I can do better! My results were:
English Literature: 8 (Think the teacher was too lenient)
English Language: 7
Mathematics: 8
Double Science IGCSE: AA
Religious Studies: A*
History: A
Business Studies: A
Graphics: B
Resistant Materials: B
Thus:
3A*s, 5As, 2Bs
Moreover, I believe that I can achieve higher than my original targets for most subjects. These targets are somewhat realistic, yet I'd obviously prefer 10A*s but that's not going to happen
I'd be over the moon if I received the grades:
English Literature: 8
English Language: 7
Mathematics: 8
Double Science IGCSE: A*A
Religious Studies: A*
History: A
Business Studies: A*
Graphics: A
Resistant Materials: A*
This thread will be my mission and journey to these grades! For A-Levels, I intend to take Mathematics, Economics as well as Politics.
I believe that the subjects that I need to revise the most are the sciences, english as well as history!
Thanks for reading,
Dxvid

So far today, I've made this post, organised my maths revision as well as completed a maths past paper. I now intend to revise English Language, Biology as well as Chemistry. We'll see where I go from there!

I believe that some coursework has let me down, yet I will of course work as hard as I can in order to achieve so highly! By any chance, do you have any tips for revision?

So far today I have revised a chapter of RS and am almost finishing revising cells (Biology), making flash cards in the process. For the rest of the day, I'd like to look over 2 chapter of Physics, a chapter (or two) of Chemistry as well as English Literature. Have a good day all!

This morning I created flash cards for all Forces topics (Physics), Fundamental Ideas of Chemistry as well as Crimes and their punishments in Britain across time. Additionally, I completed a maths past paper. For the rest of the evening, I plan to analyse a poem from my anthology, write flash cards with quotes from all 15 poems as well as complete and mark it.
Have a good evening all!

Where has this weekend gone? I've spent quite a lot of time finishing off coursework which is due in tomorrow! Additionally, I have analysed all 15 of the poems from my anthology and written notes on it. I completed a past paper for each science and did well.
For the rest of this evening, I intend to:
- Make the final touches to my coursework
- Proofread my prefect application
- Make any improvements if necessary
- 1 Hour of Mathematics
- 1 Hour of English Literature
