Ik people mostly start one in year 11, but I think it's cute, and might stop me from procrastinating (to be honest I think I’m going to end up procrastinating to post here loll).
my gcse subjects + how I feel about them as of now edexcel maths higher (sob) aqa physics higher (good!) aqa chemistry higher (bleh) aqa biology higher (yaa) aqa english language (alrr) aqa english literature (shakespeare is my greatest nemesis) aqa spanish higher (no me comprendo) edexcel a gegraphy (boringg) edexcel business (no opinion) aqa design & technology (I’m scared.)
my plan to put it shortly, the bare minimum I am expecting (on weekdays) is attempting exam questions. that’s if I’m completely confident in everything I learnt and I don’t have time to make any notes (I don’t really make notes in class + I thought my year 11 self would be thankful. over the weekends, I’m not gonna do much - maybe revisit notes from the past week, look at what’s coming up next etc. oh, and in the mornings, I also want to do some daily maths and SPaG practice + duolingo. anyways, I could go on and on about how I’m going plan my study seshes and what tools and techniques I’m going to use, but I’m quite the yapper so I kinda have to stop myself here .
extracurriculars to be honest all I’m really doing rn is taekwondo but I’m also learning about e-commerce (i’m opening a shopify business sometime in september maybe, we’ll see how well that goes). I’ve been looking into some other stuff, like work experience - barclays offers online work experience, which I’m starting as soon as I get time - and ALSO there is this young entrepreneurship summer programme called leangap which I REALLY want to do (I’m just gonna ignore the fact that it’s just over £5000). you can probably tell that I’m interested in the finance/ entrepreneurship sector .
anyways, that’s it for now. as I said, I could literally write a BOOK about stuff like my future goals, my hobbies etc. but I’ll spare you the details loll. once school starts, I’ll try to update you guys as much as possible + I would absolutely LOVE to hear about your journeys too

AQA Maths is not good - the MC questions trip everyone up - beware.
Levl 2 FMaths is a complete waste of time - don't do it - matrices aren't even in A level!
