Blog yr 13 :))))

Thursday 2 November
Hello
From now on , I’ll keep track of my progress by blogging on the student room so when I lose motivation , I can look at the forums full of people crying about A* A* A* A* applying for advanced breathing at Oxford


Day 1
I’m trying to improve my grade by slowly going from 2 hours a day , and building up to eventually 6 hours a day consistently . I am currently predicted A* C C (horrible ik😭 but my head of year is extremely harsh and I unfortunately messed up my year 12 exams ) anyways by gones be by gones . I’ve learnt an important life lesson in year 12 . Or 2 . Acc 3
1) dear year 12s the government gives you the choice to pick 3 subjects of your choice for a reason . To get the best grades possible . Don’t mess about and think your high gcse grades relate to anything your doing at A level. I can even go as far to say that the content you do at gcse is completely irrrelavent after 2 months of A level. Know what you want to do an uni now , look at the grade requirements and start working now . Those A level exams in June require 2 years of consistent hard work built over time .

2) that’s it , I think I summed it up. It’s pretty hypocritical coming from me , who didn’t neither of the things stayed above , but hey never too late . Anyways to day, I marked a paper that I did yesterday. Got a Low A , which is pretty decent , but meh more work to be done . Then I did about 3 parametric questions and called it today. Not much right . Exactly. Study habits are built over time . You can’t just not revise at AS level , even if you magically get A* in it . If you want to revise 4-5 hours a day in year 13 , start doing it in year 12 . Remember that A levels should feel like a long marathon , not a stressed sprint . And remember if you ever feel overwhelmed or alone in this , speak to teachers and close friends . Take a break , go out , have a party , watch a show if you feel like you are mentally struggling for a day.

Thats all from me goodnight
