Hi! Im year 12 too (here’s My gyg if you’re interested). Best of luck! I very much relate to what you said about not having enough time to read- i do have enrichment where i get to just read at school for an hour and a half each week though which is nice 🙂 What subject are you enjoying the most so far?

HELP i have a basline sociology test tomorrow about functionalist views on education and I am NOT prepared....its currently 7:20 and finally got the "time" to revise (I've been on my phone the whole day). NOT A GREAT START BUT the test was supposed to be last Thursday and I was not prepared for it (surprise) anywho I would take it as a sign from god that I'm meant to get full marks on this test................(got 20/27 on the last one🥲)I

I've got a few hrs to cram in some revision so my to do list it:

finish off the functionalist view on education

mini mind maps for all 3 theorists

recall al the knowledge I can remember on whiteboard

dress to imress🤧


P.s. i did 2hrs30 revision yesterday. (business 1.1 topic flashcards because I THINK I have a test on Wednesday bcz I didn't come into sixth form last week 4 the test) saying the word sixth form makes me shiver.....it feels so unusual HELP

If you're struggling with sociology, Tutor2U has good topic videos on the education topic for sociology (and for all the other topics tbf). I find these videos useful because they're fairly short which means you can get down the key information quickly so it's not too long and tiring :o: Best of luck with your assessments :-)

Yep it’s so annoying that the books can’t really be read as standalone a bc my school library only had the first half of the books then some random ones from in the middle so I was really confused after that but if u read them in order it’s a really good series

it's been 2 days I haven't updated. Tell me why sixth form is emotionally draining, when I step foot into that building I lose all my energy and become cranky asf HELP besides that, I'm falling really beuind on revision notes UGHHHHH I CANT WITH SOXTH FORM.

To do list:

Submit evidence of all my business hw on teams (I have like 10 bcz I didn't know YOU ACTUALLY HAVE TO TAKE PICTURES AND UPLOAD IT EVEN THOUGH SHE CHECKS THE LITERAL PAGES EVERY LESSON)

finish my 1.1 flashcards

revise for my 1.1 test tmrw (was last week but I missed it)
THATS IT

I'm already dreading the test apparently it was really hard (quoted by a girl who got a 9 in business and is currently the cleverest in our class)
Yesterday I did quite literally nothing after school bcz I was SO drained

(sorry for the rants lol)
