GYG yr 10 going to yr 11

No idea how this thing works honestly.
Wanted to document my process as i grow my grades or something
Did my first mocks this year in june/July although my grades are not as I expected:
History (edexcel) -6 (suprised, i really struggle with content at revision)
Maths(edexcel)-5 (dissapointed few marks off a 6)
Triple science :Biology(aqa)-6(lost silly marks)
Triple Science:Chemistry(aqa)-5(hate Chemistry but I still want to do well)
Triple Science:Physics(aqa)-5(I'm only good at the calculation questions)
German(aqa)-6(capped at a 6 bc we all did foundation but I did higher writing and got a 7)
computer science(ocr)-7 (was a few off a 6 but my teacher was nice enough to remark less harsh, honestly I expected it though)
English literature(ocr)-6 ( not suprised, I struggled alot with poetry unseen)
English language (aqa)-6(dissapointed I thought I ate on the question 5, normally my strongest question answered)
Not sure what else to put here, I know how to revise but also motivation and putting the time in. How to know if I am revising effectively or not.
I know this isn't the final deciding score but when everyone else surrounding me is getting easy 7s and 6s it's hard to be put in very deflated mindset. I feel like if I can't do well on these next mocks, I'll have no really chance in getting into a good college/sixth form

Day 1: I'm starting with history today, despite the fact I got a 6 I spent alot of time stressing and doing last minute revision before the mock. I was meant to start earlier but then I procrastinated a bit ( alot considering I should've started at 12) honestly it's okay because I'm more active in the night for some weird reason

Update form day 1: procrastination did not ens up getting the better of me , I was able to slowly get back into the habit of doing history I use the pearson edexcel revision guidebooks and rewrite key information in simplified terms to help me remember.
as the weeks pass I will eventually finish half of the content for the topic american west ( we have only learned half so far) so then I will be able to just answer alot of practice questions and focus on getting my structure right.
the main thing I didn't do well in in the previous mock is bringing in my own knowledge to answer questions and also my phrasing of sentences that were actually my knowledge I need to get used to using the phrase "from my own knowledge I know that"
tommorow I hope to focus soley on maths again I didn't do as well as I had expected and got a 5 even though I was few marks off a 6 I need to improve this grade and get atleast a 7 as i am planning to pick maths a level and the requirements for my college want a minimum of grade 7

Day 2: I'm feeling good got alot of other stuff done, I think I'll try start maths soon and focus on more calculator questions maybe paper 3 in particular I think I did better on that one and found it easier, I just need to focus on not making silly mistakes at the front of the paper like I did on my last mock, overall not worried, just motivated

Update on day 2: procrastination did infact get the best of me, I ended up doing around 30 minutes when I was aiming for an hour I know your probably thinking it's not that deep but I think I really need to stick to routine to break myself out of a lazy habit
Back to the actual topic at hand i i feel like, my revision for maths isn't as effective and I have tried everything now I'm unsure should I go striagh in with the past papers or do all individual topic questions first then past papers idk
Tommorow is a new day, I don't know what I feel like doing since it will be the weekend I'll be less harsh on my routines and just " go with the flow" on whatever I feel like doing

Day3: chill but motivated slowly went through the day doing bits and snippets of my history work, I want to take my time and do it slowly so I can spend my time doing some effective memory retention instead
overall compared to what I was aiming for(30 minutes) I think an hour isn't that bad

Update GyG is not for procrastinators like me, it doesn't matter how many times I hold myself accountable. I'll still do nothing anyway

🤭🤭🤭update I lost my procrastination, I've actually been getting back into my revision habits slowly, I even did chemistry revision yesterday
For maths I was able to tick off the sine rule which was part of a list of the many many things I did wrong or didn't understand , only thing left is the sine rule and finding area and then I'm done
However I am struggling with revision for certain subjects like history, edexcel and biology aqa triple, I feel like for biology I know content but answering questions that have "levels" that u need to get to get good marks like big mark questions and then for history idk how to revise effectively like I copy notes from a revision guide book into another book and simplify it further, i also use gizmo a.i and it kind of helps but ik I could do better in history if I put the effort in. Additionall note is that I'm not a video person my attention span is rlly low and my thoughts are very much all over the place which makes it hard to pay attention I prefer to do anything else but watch a video.
Rambling on again but yh I js thought I should update

well doneee im also going into year 11 and procastination is a theif man 😂

Back with an end of day update
Day 4: +3 weeks👀
Maths maths and more maths, with the tiniest bit of German and I also wanted to publicly apologise for lying to anyone that read mt previous post about me hating to watch videos to learn. I hate watching videos to learn unless the video is a tgmt video, on any type of level is and will be superior to any other maths learning video I have ever watched it's like a mini maths lesson and I love it. I did the sine rule today again but to find area safe to say I can tick it off the list of stuff I need to practise but I think on higher maths they like to throw in questions with more sine+Cosine so I think I'll take an off day for however long and then the next time I feel like doing maths I'll do Cosine.
Additional note to end the day, my history books keep glaring at me😔 yes, you guessed correctly I have in fact done 0 revision for history even though I'm doing crime and punishment and henry the 8th for my next mocks and I know absolutely nothing actually I know henry had 6 wives Catherines some annes and a jane who died. That's it. 👀

I recently bought a Revise GCSE Revision Planer with a yellow cover. I highly recommend using something like it or a BBC equivalent as it just gets you organised which is the most important thing!

you can 100% get 7’s+ in everything. you’ve got time. also your predicted grades are off the topics you’ve covered and those topics maybe barely come up in the actual exam. i do believe that schools mark harsher than gcse examiners. i was predicted a 7 in english literature from year 9-11 and got a 9 in the gcse. you have so much time to find a good revision method for yourself and get those grades up. good luck

Do you use it as like a scheduled thing or more of like a to do list?

Scheduling, I find to do lists too abstract timewise and I never end up doing all of it

Thank you so much. Also do you have a tips / tricks for any of the subjects
