elisha's gyg notebook: year 13!!

Hello everyone! After following a bunch of Grow your Grades threads from last year, I was inspired to start my own to stay motivated and achieve my desired grades in my exams.

Notes:
I am studying History, Chemistry and Mathematics (WJEC)
AS grades: BCC
Dream course: Environmental Geoscience
Grades needed: ABB

I will be regularly updating this thread to stay on top of revision and uni applications. Let this be a blessed academic year for us all! Please feel free to drop your own threads so I can follow your journey too🫶

Wrote up my analysis of sources 2 and 3 for my Crusades coursework
Planning to do my conditional probability homework
I completed the Maths Olympiad for Girls on Wednesday woop woop
The questions were really hard and I only managed to do partial working for the majority of the questions, but I was able to achieve a final answer for question 2😮*💨

Oh wow those are tough. I’m assuming you’re thinking of going into something in engineering? Wishing you the best on all your exams <33

I'm only in Y12 at the minute, but am hoping for Exeter/UCL as my top choice (will have to see if my mocks allow that though haha) I've heard some great things about Cardiff, so that's a possibility too!!

Did some past paper questions on Alcohols and Phenol
Completed analysis of source 4 on my Crusades coursework
I'm only doing 2 tasks at the moment to get my motivation back up. Doing tons of past paper questions for chemistry though for my topic test on Thursday!! I'm also quite happy I'm nearly done with writing up most of my coursework, after I'm finished with it I can finally make some edits😋
How has everyone's weekend been??
