GYG: ashley's a-level journey :)

hiii, i'm ashley, i'm in year 12 and i'm doing maths, physics and computer science
i did do epq but i'm not very confident with how well i did on it 😅

aims:
if i wanted to have grades i was happy with, i would want AAA. i'm not sure how achievable this is but i'll try my best lol
i really struggle with physics so i'm really focusing most of my energy into that. i've only had 1 test in it and i got an E but i didn't have a teacher at all when i did this.
i'm really hoping to improve this grade myself since my school isn't much help... i aim to use this blog as a way to make sure i'm getting work done.
i'll try and update this every day!

good luck everyone!!! :smile:

hey guys, not really sure how to update this but ig i'll just do this and see how it goes hahah

so today i basically only studied with some breaks consisting of me just being on my phone or eating etc.
i woke up really late (12ish) because my sleep schedule is terrible lol
i went over some theory questions for driving until 1pm since i have my test for it on friday
then i organised all of my stuff (my books and everything are such a mess rn), this just reminded me i need to buy more books bc i have none left lmao
i did this for like 2 hour until about 3pm then i started making revision cards for particles in physics...

i mostly focused on Feynman diagrams and i'm going through this CGP textbook i bought and i'm finding it reallyyyy helpful for understanding the content, i feel much more confident with it now
i did this for like 3 hours in total but including breaks (eating and showering basically) this took me to like 7pm
i didn't actually make too many revision cards because i spent most my time actually going over the content and trying to understand it better lol

i did a theory mock for half an hour and i passed but i got a few qs wrong, i'm hoping i'll be fine in the real thing
i hope to spend a good chunk of my time tomorrow doing mock tests and gaining more confidence but i'm really worried i'm running out of time because i have my mocks next week and i haven't revised as much as i wanted to at allll :frown:

i took a break until 9pm where i started making computer science revision cards
again, i've spent most my time actually trying to understand the content (especially the FDE cycle) and haven't made too many revision cards..

it's like 1:30am rn, i'm gonna keep doing some cs stuff, maybe do a bit of Project Euler to improve my coding skills then i'll go to sleep :smile:

thanks for reading if you made it this far lol i have no idea if i said too much or too little but yea

when did you sleep 😭😭 project Euler is great and its good you're revising but don't get too stressed for year 12 mocks please! (if they effect predicteds its a bit different)

maybe sleep earlier and wake up earlier and do more revision?

uhhh i slept at like 3am... it's better for me to stay up at night bc i just work better at night and during the day my siblings are both awake and distracting lol

the reason i'm stressed about the mocks is because i thought they affect my predicted grades... i don't want to have bad predicteds :')

No way 😭, so we finally got a gyg lad?!!! We need one becuase its so female dominated atm its mental.

AND MY ENGLISH TEACHER WHO WAS A MAN ACC HAD THE EXACT SAME NAME (ashley) AND I USED TO FIND IT SO FUNNY BECAUSE I SAID IT WAS A GIRL NAME MULTIPLE TIMES BUT I DIDNT KNOW OTHER PEOPLE ALSO HAVE IT
