Year 12s: what will be the first way you research your future options? >>

Do I have time to finish my history GCSE?

I'm doing a history gcse with AQA. I did 2 modules last year and this year I'm doing Health and the People, and Normans. I'm about halfway through Health and the People and I haven't even started the Normans yet. My exams start in May and I'm worried I'm going to run out of time. Unfortunately I have the added hindrance of a disability meaning I can only have one 1hour lesson of history per week so it's a bit tight but I'm quite bright and committed. What are your thoughts? How much longer do you think it will take me? Thanks!

Why only 1 hour per week? You at home?

Work with the teacher and use that hour for asking questions of bits you dont understand and getting work marked.

The rest you need to teach yourself. You need some decent revision books and you need to make the notes for all he course by the end of February. You need to get a move on. You will then have to use March and April to practice exam questions.

Is it this one you are doing?

Get second hand where you can.

PS yes you have time, but get a move on so you understand the core material. End of Feb at the latest preferably mid Feb.

Thank you! Yeah that looks like it. I have a disability that means I have trouble making energy meaning I can only manage on hour lesson per day and I'm doing other subjects too x
