11 weeks going from C to A* - Alevel

Original post by sailormoonmeow

Hello, this will be my diary, where I will document my daily hours, to-do list, and accomplishments. For context, I study ocr religious studies, chemistry, and biology. My grades have fluctuated over the last two years, but in my most recent mock, I received an A (rs) and a C (bio+chem). I know my potential, and I know that anything is possible if I set my mind to it, because no one is born lucky; we simply have to work hard. You can stalk this if you want.

Hii
We so the same a levels and have similar grades and I also have the same goal😭😭. The only problem with me is I'm an extreme chronic procrastinator so I doubt I'll get the grades I want . Good luck to u

Thank you:>, I am a Muslim, and I have to wake up early to pray and eat for my fast. I've used this schedule to maximise my study time from 4:40 a.m. to 7:30 a.m. before school, and after school, I go straight to work after a 20-minute break. I do my best to stick to a 60/10 minute schedule, but I usually skip breaks because I use my five daily prayers as breaks. I'm also attempting to make the most of my free time at school going forward. Not every day am I productive; sometimes I only do two hours, but that will stop because I don't reallyyy feel confident in my abilities for now

Same here I'm also Muslim and its been tricky getting a ramdhan schedule going. The thing that is tricky is forcing yourself to revise after iftar . Lol .

I usually eat and watch a show while feeling toasty from my heater, and I never get back to work because I'm so tired. Alhamdulliah to Allah for bestowing those blessings upon us. Make dua for it to be easier for you (and the ummah :lovedup:

), and Ramadan should not hold us back but rather propel us into a greater future ahead.

The dua of a fasting person is accepted. Narrated by al-Tirmidhi in 2525 and classified as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Tirmidhi. So call out to Allah, because he is Al-Wahhab and Ar-Razzaq.

"There is no victory except from Allah. Indeed, Allah is All-Mighty and All-Wise." (8:10)

" And know well that Allah is your Protector – an excellent Protector and an excellent Helper" (8:40)

Hello, this will be my diary, where I will document my daily hours, to-do list, and accomplishments. For context, I study ocr religious studies, chemistry, and biology. My grades have fluctuated over the last two years, but in my most recent mock, I received an A (rs) and a C (bio+chem). I know my potential, and I know that anything is possible if I set my mind to it, because no one is born lucky; we simply have to work hard. You can stalk this if you want.

Hi! Welcome to the gyg forum, I hope you enjoy being here! Fellow gyg-er, and I do bio, chem and psychology, so similar to yours :smile:

Are you in year 12 or 13?

Exam questions for Organic synthesis + Carbon / Proton NMR

Biology: Classification and Evolution flashcards partially edited

Accomplishments:

•

Tried to update my flashcards which are lacking (I am planning to whiz through and edit them so that the next two months can just be blurting and heavily exam-focused)

•

Completed AO2 and essay plans for Philosophy, yay me!

Reflection: Sunday was challenging for me, especially with Ramadan, but I learned from it. It's important to prioritise self-care, especially during fasting periods, to maintain energy and focus. I've set a goal to improve my routine going forward :wink:

Let's strive to be our best selves this week! Stay motivated and keep pushing forward. <3
