an unorganised teenage boy's journey to 8A*'s : my year 11 gyg

tagged!

what subjects are you doing and which boards?

Is that teacher still with you for Y11? Maybe if your entire class comes together you can complain?

wow!

tagged ;-)

good luck for rs, i'm sure you'll smash it!
what grade are you aiming for?

i have a gyg - https://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=5520418
it's quicker to look there than for me to type it out

trust me we've all tried, but the other teachers take her side without any question!

i'm hoping we have a new teacher, that would be an absolute lifesaver and really put me on a clear path!

An A*, which should be easy since that's the grade I was predicted and the grade I've been getting in the subject, but I'm quite scared because I'm going over all the material again and it just looks so daunting XD

Ugh hate when that happens. Let’s pray you get a new one jeez. Was legit in the same position with another subject, but my school’s online system leaked our timetables by accident and we have someone else My phone’s literally blowing up with “ASDFGHJKKLWNGMSPD OMG RAZZZBERRIES DO YOU SEE THIS?!” as if I’m blind 😂

exam nerves at its finest!

trust me, in november we'll all be on here celebrating when you know you've smashed it!

just make sure you can name multiple quotes for every topic under the sun and know how to structure the questions for maximum marks!

we're all in it together, so let's help each other and all be celebrating come results day

just checked it out!
make sure you tag me

I think you'll need to help me with maths over the next few months haha

will do

no problem! just ask if you need any help
we haven't got our timetables yet either

thanksss!

will defo take you up on that maths offer haha

I hope so . I desperately want to get 8 A* altogether (minimum) so that I have a higher chance of going to Oxford to study PPE.
Trust me, I am doing everything legally possible to ace this exam. There are two papers, one on the 24th of October and the second on the 2nd of November, so at least it's still a while away.
And all you GCSE folks are lucky. Result's Day only comes once for you lmao

omggg

we haven't got our timetables yet and it's making me so anxious, just give it to me nowww!

which subject?

ahaha!

good luck, I’m sure you’ll smash it!

if you need any help feel free to drop me a pm, I’m working at a grade 8 :-)

Trust me, it's best to wait for the first day. I HAVE mine and I'm anxious xD

Biology. We're failing as a class and she wasn't helping. So haha

Thanks again! I hope you do well with your subjects too!
(a grade 8 is like a low A* or something, right?)

haha we'll get through it!

just means extra revision though... ugh

heyyy everyone
so, year 11.

oh dear god.

i'm not prepared for this.

that's why I need you guys!

let's all talk, help each other with subjects, because i'm sure in the coming posts you are going to learn about my relationship with maths...
yeah.... i can't do it to save my life

sooo, here it goes.

i'm owen, 15 and starting year 11 in two days.

damn.

i don't really have any hobbies- well, except I love football and video games, but that's about it tbh.

just your average, typical teenager.

sooo, let's get into the juicy stuff

the subjects I'm taking

end of year 10 mock grades

soo, yeah, they aren't very good.

but, in my defence, without sounding like a snob, I didn't revise, and I can truthfully say that.

in my december mocks I'm going to revise thoroughly and get the grades I want come next august.

scratch that, we're going to revise and get the grades we want.
that's why I made this.
let's do it together.
so, without further ado, here are the grades I want next august:

grades I want:


soo, hopefully, if all goes accordingly, i'll get 8A*'s and 2B's.

my revision schedule is pretty hectic, i gotta admit that, but I'm up for it.

and now *deep, dramatic breath,* the future.

after gcse's


long term


as you can see, i'm an unorganised, normal teenager with dreams, like millions of others.

this has been long, i've rambled on for ages lol, so let's summarise this.

this year is big.
and alone, it's difficult.
so let's do it together.

let's absolutely smash it, so next august when we open our brown envelopes, hearts in our mouths, we can cry tears of happiness.

i hope you all enjoy this, and i'll be updating it daily with pictures, messages and most likely my panic attacks soon enough!




- owen x

p.s. i've wanted to do a gyg for months and months, so i'm really, really excited!

“Not great” - gets multiple grade 8’s. crikey.
