Introduction to Grow Your Grades - 2024/25 Edition!!! 💻💻💻

Welcome to Grow Your Grades 2024/25 Edition!!! :woo:

TSR's exciting annual blogging competition that has been inspiring students for nearly a decade! :dancing2:

We invite students of all academic levels to chronicle their academic journey, from September's fresh start to the final exams and results day in 2025. Get involved and share your triumphs, challenges, and everything in between.

Each month, we will carefully review and reward standout GYG blogs, awarding the top posters amazing prizes and often encouraging you to vote for your fav bloggers too!!

At the end of the academic year in 2025, you will get to vote for your favorite overall GYG winner, who will take home an EPIC grand prize :headbang:

FAQs

Why should I enter?
Running a blog helps maintain your motivation and acts as a useful tool for accountability, making it easier than ever to stay committed to your studies. Additionally, the true sense of community within GYG consistently provides an encouraging and inspiring environment. We understand that structuring your study routine and keeping on top of things can be challenging, which is why we are so keen to offer this space through GYG to set personal challenges and gradually get into the rhythm of learning at a pace that works for you.

Making your blog more visually interesting is a great idea and can be a super fun thing to do! BUT do keep in mind your blog appearance does not have a massive impact on your chance at winning monthly/annual prizes – the content of your blog is the key thing here 😊 But if you do fancy giving your blog a makeover, we highly recommend consulting our Top Tips to making your blog updates look great

The deadline for the Overall GYG winner of 2024-25 will be the day after GCSE results day next year in 2025. But in the interim we are aiming to put out monthly competitions where you can win smaller prizes.

How do I make a GYG?

Can I still do a gyg blog even though I'm not in school right now and would like to do something in my own time to work on my Spanish and a few other languages I'd like to learn?

I'll probably start it once I get a language and conversation app signed up to.

It was funny when you kept warning us not to look and did sooo many spoilers (I did then regret opening them all because the scrolling took so long) :lol:
