Hi there Year 12's and 13's :^_^:

We can't quite believe it, but there are just a few more days until the festive break begins! :eek4: :santa3: Since it's quickly approaching, we're curious to know how you're planning to spend your time off from school or college.

Will you be getting stuck into the revision books? enjoying some family time? researching your next steps? or taking some time to just chill? :sleep:

Vote in the poll above and tell us more about what you'll be getting up to below! :claus: we can't wait to hear all about it :biggrin:

Always studying - predicted A* across my subjects, and if I get a B in my mocks I'm forced to resit. Plus, a daunting amount of EPQ research is due. 😵*💫

I'll study enough that I don't lose knowledge but desperately need some time to relax too after the university rush.

True - it was mostly a sarcastic (but partially true) comment.

I put it as working... (at curing addictions lol)

As a year 12 here, I'm going to be studying as well as having time to relax. I've actually stayed on top of my maths (got 100% in my recent test) but I'm having some problems with biology and chemistry. The only problem with biology is that there is a lot of information given in a small topic and my brain takes a while to absorb all the knowledge. For chemistry, I'm just having problems with specific topics (I hate the quantitative stuff and Hess) and I'm actually quite strong at the other parts.

Hope you enjoy your break 🙂 Im feeling the same as you about maths and biology. Im finding that spaced repetition flashcards are working really well for me for biology btw. Good luck with chemistry!
