havent rlly done much the whole 2 weeks off even though i planned to get alot done but i didnt because its so boring and i have 0 motivation and encouragement lol. we have year 12 mocks when we get back and i know everyone must have revised over 8hrs a day while ive only done 1hr a day, aint exactly gonna pay off in exams since i got really bad grades previously but it feels too late to make a difference, like i shouldnt bother trying again at this point because im gonna fail still anyway so id just be wasting time. i feel my problem is i feel pretty indifferent to studying so saying 'getting required grades for uni should be encouragement enough!' doesnt really help since im shameless lol and dont see the point of anything anymore. i probably come off as really stupid and lazy to u guys. its all my fault i dont find enjoyment in this but i cant just quit either because ill have nothing else to do plus i wanna go uni, and in my 6th they kick u out if u get below CCD in year 12 mocks. i dunno what to do with myself really............sorry for making u guys read this nonsense lol

Try listening to music whilst you are revising AND just play with your revision like when walking in the street making a song in your mind, or like singing over lyrics with that material

thanks ill probably try that again, during gcse exam season i did my intense revision while on a particular station so if i go back on it i guess itll give me study vibes again idk
how do you play with your revision? as in, make a toy figure of a quadratic graph and songs about x^2?

I’ve done like no revision since the start of this year. Somehow managed to do okay in mocks.. but omg my motivation is non existent. Mostly cos 2 out if 3 of my subjects are pointless to me. No physics or chemistry in a psychology degree and I already have grades to meet entry requirements...

If you are not a big learner of information, just focus on the most important stuff. Make 4-5 bullet points for each thing you learn (even if it does not cover everything). I would say that having the main points for each topic for your mocks would be better than just looking over everything without really understanding it.

thanks, i started doing that 2 days ago, got a much smaller textbook since i hate reading lol and summarise each paragraph into a sentance for my folder. good way to revise, but its no fun

I am going to add a few extra things we do just to put into perspective my anti-social life; my life is miserable XD!

6 subjects - 3 at Higher Level (your priority subjects for your future career basically) BIO CHEM MATHS
3 at Standard Level HIST ENGL LATIN

Only difference you learn more in HL than SL.

Each subject, you have to do a piece of coursework (internal assessment) that counts 20% to your final grade.
4000 word essay.
Theory of knowledge - Presentation + Essay (1600 words)
Group 4 Project (develop 'teamwork' skills)

Nice, so I have done Cold War in history.

So if we look at Berlin Wall, you could write something like this:

CAUSES: West Berlin has better conditions than East Berlin, better working conditions, better way of living. Brain drain from East. Communism being undermined by Capitalism.

EVENTS: Wall put up. Checkpoint Charlie. Tension, etc,

RESULTS: Wall resembles division of Capitalism and Communism. Shows the rivalry between USA and USSR
