Shaw's year 12 gyg: trying to keep myself on track!!

Hiya!
I'm in year 12, studying Biology (OCR A), Maths (AQA) and Further Maths (AQA).
Right now I'm loving maths and FM but struggling to keep up with all the bio content. Once I start planning my time I should start finding time to revise......? (fingers crossed)
I'm starting this journal to try and remember to set myself goals everyday to hopefully actually achieve them :smile:

grades I would love to get: A*A*A*
-at the minute its looking like ? A*A
course at uni: Maths!

I may have a photos of Malala and Turing on my wall to keep me going.
'do it or don't. the time will pass anyways' - calling me out on my procrastination.

Good luck! Further maths is quite difficult, but seeing that you love maths it should be fine

Plan for Wednesday 31st
In my Study Period : Maths exercise
PAG book
After School: Biology revision
Application work
Maths video

guysss I'm going to get home at past 5 tomorrow because I have a lesson afterschool ☹️
At the moment my priority is catching up on missed work before I get even further behind. Do you guys have any tips for catching up whilst keeping up with all the regular work?? thanks x

I’d prioritise the catchup work first, so maybe do hour catchup then 30-45 mins new content? Because you don’t want to get even further behind but it’s best to understand the catch-up content before moving on. Also remember half term is soon so it’ll be a perfect chance to do a big catch-up if need be

Yay good day. Updated my PAG book, up to date with all my maths homework. Completed Bio revision. Who are your favourite maths youtubers? I've been looking at why the derivative of e^x is e^x. there were SO MANY videos, but I did find some great ones 🙂 Tomorrow I have two studies so will catch up on some Integral, do some marking and prereading for FM. Hopefully afterschool I will complete some more applications..... they are so tiring!!

Omg today in fm stats my teacher taught us exponential integration and derivatives for some probability thing and we were confused! We’re supposed to have been taught it in pure first but oh well, guess I’ll have to learn it oddly 😂

Sounds like a good day though! And ikr applications are soooo tiring

Omg don't remind me, I just struggled fitting stuff into a 500 word summer school application how on earth are we gonna do this 😭😭😭 But isn't it changing or something for us maybe? Like they're splitting it into sections? Because that will annoy me so much especially if the sections have word counts too

Exactly, I just wrote an application it had 600 words and was keeping it on the short side!! I haven't heard it's changing but if it is I hope they increase the word limit even a little.

Some volunteering applications, and I’m annoyed because a deadline for a clinical one I wanted was today but when I went to check the site it said that they’d closed it a week early due to so much interest 😭
