When are you guys/have you started revising for mocks? I know starting is the hardest part but I just don't have it in me to start revising... I'm seemingly always busy and when I'm not im just so tired or doing homework last minute :0

Like you said, starting is the hardest part.

Have you tried setting a time, i.e., 6PM Mon-Fri for 1 hour, so you start forming a habit to revise.

Start slow, then increase it as you ease more into it.

Not in any way excited for exams.
8s and 9s, but I have a feeling some 7s are coming my way :frown:
Study at my school's Sixth Form (I go to Mulberry School for Girls if anyone wants to know) for A Level Biology, Chemistry and Psychology, plus continue my cello and piano lessons there.
Never Let Me Go (3/10 when I first read it, 8/10 now bc of the dystopia and bc it has similar vibes to George Orwell's "1984", John Wyndham's "The Chrysalids" and Margaret Atwood's "The Handmaid's Tale"), The Merchant of Venice (9/10, nice plotline) and Jane Eyre (10/10, I love the classics)

Good luck!

@Jacky Pleasant - i will make you co-leader :smile:

Ok! How do I join
Heyy I'm a bit late but subjectwise I do
Bio, chem, phys (all AQA)
Maths (Edexcel)
English Lang (AQA)
English Lit- texts :
Romeo and Juliet(3/10 most of the characters have not been blessed with the ability to make sensible decisions)
An Inspector Calls (9/10 really good plot but gerald annoys me)
A Christmas Carol (6/10 its alr but i Can never remember quotes from it)
Love and relationships poetry anthology
Business and Enterprise (NCFE 1/2 level diploma - literally no other school in this country does that exam board aha)
Computer Science ( OCR)
Geography(OCR B)
French (AQA)

I'm predicted all 9s but for my mocks i got a mix of 7s and 8s so I'm hoping to do better in my Y11 mocks and GCSEs. Also I just finished my Y11 november mocks so if anyone wants to know what was on the 2023 papers for bio, chem and phys paper 1 or english lang paper 2 just let me know x

For A-levels I'm want to do biology, chemistry and psychology cuz I want to apply to dentistry or medicine for uni. considering an EPQ as doing one looks good on CVs and unis may offer a lower conditional offer.
