Update #1 - One week until I go back to school (probably)!

So it's probably fair to say I am not as prepared for Y13 as I could be - I am not very confident on half of the Y12 content and my personal statement is nearly non existent. So I am going to spend my last week of summer trying to get as prepared as possible.

Today has started off good, I have finished all the compulsory Physics Summer work, which included a test that I got 92% on :biggrin:, but I am still a long way behind a have some Past Paper Questions to do for all my subjects alongside revision. So the next week ahead I am going to try and do 4 hours on each subject to help get me 'back on top'.

I am still unsure about when I am meant to be going into college (it's a very long story so if you are interested it's in the spoiler below), but currently I am due to start next Thursday (10th).

Spoiler


So as a basic to do list, over the next week I am going to:
-Spend 8 hours on maths, which includes doing 3 Past papers and some integration revision
-Spend 4 hours on physics, mainly the past paper questions which we have been asked to do, but also some general revision if I get chance
-Spend 4 hours on geography, learning the key case studies from Y12;
-Start writing the first draft of my personal statement:poke:

PUN/JOKE TIME :woo:

If you have ever seen my blog you will know I love bad jokes/pun, so I am going to try and include one at the end of every update - just to try and spread a bit of happiness - they may be topical or they may be totally random :tongue:

Why did the maths book look so sad when school started again?

Spoiler


Hope everyone has a good week and if you are heading back to school - stay safe! :hugs:

We usually start earlier (last year I started in the last week of August) - it's just to do with the local lockdown, I think which is why they've pushed the start date back :confused:

I just do practice questions after practice questions. If I find a topic I struggle on I will usually create some kind of revision aid - this could be a mind map of the different techniques (e.g. integration) or it could be a flash card with a step by step example. Hope this helps :smile:
good luck! excellent joke :yep:
