Hollys y12 gyg 🌸💗

Hiii I’m Holly and going into year 12 this year!

My a level courses: Grades I want:
Biology🌴 A
Chemistry🧪 A/B
Psychology🧠 A

My gcse grades 🎓:
9- Biology +Sociology
8- Physics +Chemistry +Geography + English Lit
7- Photography +Maths (1 mark off an 8 -getting it remarked)
6- Statistics +English Language
5- Spanish(F)

My goals 🥼🔭:
- Going to Uni (preferably in my home town or commuting to another one)
- Would love to study a science based subject like biochem, biomed or biology
- Working for a pharmaceutical company is something I would like to do as a career but I’m not too sure yet and this could change!

Things I want to improve 🛠️:
- My organisation skills (my y11 bag was a mess)
- Doing my homework on time/ time management
- Talking and asking more questions in class
- Finding a revision technique that works for me (I want to try online flashcards- Is anki or gizmo or Quizlet better??)

Chemistry will definately be the hardest for me as I struggled at gcse a bit, so I will be updating you all on how that’s going and the revision I am doing towards it (and the other two subjects)! 💗 #grow your grades 24/25
Good luck fellow year 12!
Im also doing Bio 🙂
I find StudySmarter best for flashcards btw

I don't know which online flashcards are best, but some medicine students at university use Anki

I’m already finding chem hard but hopefully I can get used to it😭 I found a good website called dalton chem which is really helpful! Good luck in year 12 <3

Hii guys, I’ve finished my first two days of sixth form college now so I’ll update you all as to how it’s been!

Biology 🌴:
Loveee it so far, we’re learning biological molecules and have my first assessment in two weeks
- I had a free on Friday so I did my biology maths skills homework
- I’m also trying to find some aqa textbooks on vinted, does anyone have any suggestions on the best ones??
- I bought Olivia biology notes for year 1 and I LOVEEE them sm!

Chemistry 🧪:
We’re recapping a lot of gcse content atm so it isn’t too bad however I’m struggling with understanding the terminology (eg one mole of an atom)
- We got set homework on the a level electronic configuration but I’m finding it way too hard as we haven’t learned it yet!
- I found a website called dalton chemistry though which has been very helpful!
- Overall still not sure if I’ll be swapping chemistry to another subject, I’m gonna see how the next few weeks go.

Psychology 🧠:
I’ve had two lessons but haven’t started any content yet so I can’t really say if I like it or not yet haha! I loveee my seating plan though and the people around me are very friendly.
- I’ve printed out booklets for in class called essentials of psychology and social psychology
- I’m going to buy some dividers for my folders as I have a folder check on Friday!

I’ll update you guys next week as to how it goes! 🌸💗
