🎀GYG-Academic victim to Academic weapon A-level 2024-2026🎀

Hi! Welcome to GYG 🙂 Im also in year 12 and doing Maths, Physics, Biology and starting an epq next week. I wish you the best of luck with year 12!
Btw for revision so far Ive been using CGP books, Seneca and Cognito plus making flashcards on StudySmarter- I recommend all of them but as i dont do chem i dont know how they are for that. What exam board are you for biology out of interest? Im doing OCR
Hope you’re kinda enjoying year 12 thus far, what’s your favourite subject a half term in?
I also have a GYG (Link here) so if you want to follow mine you can do. We can do this!

Hi I'm doing AQA for Biology and my favourite subject so far is Biology!

I have Biology test tmrw on Biological molecules but after that we are starting cells

Cool! How you feeling about the test? I did one just before half term and im really pleased because I managed to get 34/40 (one of if not the highest in my class i think) so im very happy with that ofc. It was on half the bio molecules content plus the topics on cell biology and enzymes. Best of luck with your test tomorrow! I hope Seneca comes in handy 🙂

Today I have Biological Molecules test and I have made a made mind map and during the half term I did flashcards and some past paper questions but only managed to complete Carbohydrates and Lipids so in future ill try to do flashcards frequently during the term so I don't feel overwhelmed by the amount I have to do. I underestimated the amount of content I needed to learn😭

Tuesday 5th November
Started a new topic in Biology Cells!

Update Tuesday 19th November
I got D on my Biology test which was not great but I know what to do to improve
I haven't been as consistent with keeping up with my work because of my mental health and the fact that I got a new job working 3 days a week but now I am trying to back into a routine.
Here is what I did today

Hi guys! I don't know what boards you all do since ive skimmed past this but i have bought a-level resources for both bio and chem (+ sum of my friends in there) which you are all free to share with whomever!
It contains bio w/ olivia notes - as a 2025 bio student I found that she actually predicted some of the questions in her notes (usually the non-coloured boxes/common mistakes infos) and her notes have realistically every info you need for biology AQA.
If it's not enough, there are CGP based notes on there too as well as active recall sheets and ppts.
For AQA chemistry there are ppt slides + stemmup flashcards (i'd rly recommend going thru them as they're ms points). Cant give too much advice for chem since im currently failing it (i didnt revise lol so PLS start revising chem if u havent, it is not a crammable subject).
For psych (AQA) i'd also recommend
Just understand the content and memorise the AO3 word for word, you'll be fine. For other p3 optional subjects, i'd rly recommend asking chatgpt to create 16 mark essay for each topic (e.g for rs '16 mark essay on equity theory') since it'll summarise the notes into 2 paras which are A. great for 16 mark essay and B. great for understand and you won't be overwhelmed by content.
