year 11 - my journey

so I did another German test, but I didn't do that good

I got 20/32 (it was the 150 word task)

to improve, I'm going to use the sentence builders and write myself model paragraphs to refer to when revising

Do you do have higher and foundation for German cuz in mine we have that for spanish.

So, I watched this academic self improvement video, and they said to write down your thoughts and progress every day in a journal/diary at night. It also said to plan your day for tomorrow so you are more focused on what you want to achieve by the end of it. After watching it, I thought to myself that yes I should do that, and I was reminded of my blog again. I don't write in this blog often, so from tonight I will be doing exactly that. If I miss a day, can someone please remind me, tho I hope that doesn't happen.
In the video it also said to have a fixed sleep schedule, so I aim to sleep at 21:15 and wake up at 5:00 (that's 5 or 6 sleep cycles, I can't remember). I will keep you all updated on how that's going too.


Today I am going to do:
- Writing sample answers to possible German speaking exam questions.
- Doing a timeline for Romeo and Juliet with important quotes. If anyone has nice resources for Romeo and Juliet, do you mind sending them to me, I would really appreciate it!!
- Collate all the results from my last food tech investigation/experiment and plan the write up for section B of NEA1.

(if I still have time after this, I will continue revising the content for an upcoming computing test - NETWORKS IS SOOO BORING, but not as bad as computer systems)

What I have done so far today:
- Learnt the hydraulics chapter and did exam style questions on it.
- German test paper corrections (this took me like 15 mins)

Heyyy
Good luck with your mocks xx. I’ve just found your GYG and will follow along your journey 😌.
I completely get your motivation struggles and have recently been trying to write down my goals as well so I can do a decent amount of revision each day for my mocks as well. You can find this on my GYG https://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=7398188.
Also I find computing boring too 😭 it’s so difficult especially the programming part. What task are you doing for your NEA? I’m doing the biscuit one.

Hey I saw your GYG blog, you are pretty committed to it I must say.
Also, I'm doing bread for the NEA. imo programming wasn't that hard until we got to arrays, functions and subroutines - now I just can't keep up with it

Ye we've started revision now and the arrays and functions are the hardest bit

I feel like on the theory side of computing i feel like the CPU topic is the hardest

Yh I have memorised this topic 3 times, but I keep forgetting it. Have you guys got a nice way to revise computing theory?

For me I'm breaking it down bit by bit... so I did memory and storage yesterday and just did quizzes and practice questions on Smart revise (I'm not sure if u have it) for 45 min... then I just see which sub-topic I'm weak in (like compression for example) and try to go over it again... then I just did exam questions on that topic... I really hope this would effective for me in the future
