GYG is Grow Your Grades, it's a blog competition on TSR where people write about their progress throughout the year and get encouragement to improve their grades! This year's competition is starting to be judged now (:ninja:) but you can start a blog for 2018/19 here if you're interested: https://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/forumdisplay.php?f=1516 there's generally a pretty great prize :wink:
the subjects you have taken & your predicted grades : English (9), maths (8), double science (A*), history (8), geography (8), classical civilisation (9), French (A*), German (A*), ancient Greek (8), further maths (B)

the grades you want to achieve : hopefully 8s and 9s (or A*s) for all of them - though I wouldn't say no to 6s and 7s

your plans after year 11 (alevels, college, apprenticeship) : A-Levels for sure, but not sure what beyond Geography

what do you want to do in the future? (university, career plans etc.) : absolutely no clue - help! (I'm keen to go to Uni but other than that...)

how you’re feeling about starting year 11 : varying degrees of terror and a tiny bit of hope (no more English after this year, ever!)

hobbies and interests : reading, music, drawing & wasting time on the internet

favourite subject : really fluctuates but probably Classical Civilisation or Geography

favourite way to revise: I'm pretty rubbish at revision so I'd say mind maps and last minute panics

Good luck to everyone
