2025 Jay's GYG- the pathway to Medschool- (GCSE to A-levels)

*Update* the half term is officially over😭
what I've been up to:
One thing I am going to say, is that I hope to never ever do that again. I've spent about 99% of my time sat at my desk revising and I am burnt out and tired even though I've had 8 hours of sleep and I'm pretty sure I am now Vitamin D deficient. I have learnt my lesson not to ever. EVER. Do this again. I am almost certain that around the half-way point I just stopped functioning, stopped learning. I was in a semi-conscious sleepy coma. I'm just praying I pull through these next weeks of mocks to see daylight again and that I do a somewhat decent job. I hope this next update will be more cheery! Yeah I would not wish this on my worst enemy. From now on I'm going to tone it down, I'll give myself the weekends off and maintain weekly revision on a smaller scale.

I did make some pwetty notes though ❣️

Keep going 💪

Hey Everybody, I'm going to be utilizing this platform to keep me on track with my revision and hold myself accountable for the rest of this year. I started a lil late before discovering this amazing community, but I thought to myself- Why not give it a go?
Introduction:
I am a year 11 student and I have about 10 weeks till my GCSE- Yikes!
I take English, maths, separate sciences, biology, chemistry, and French. I am hoping to achieve 8s and 9s but I am happy with a few 7s sprinkled throughout.
I am most definitely looking forward to Prom and the Summer Holidays I can't wait to get this over with however I want to get as high grades as possible. Why? Because I want to become a doctor!
Anyways, I hope you enjoy following me on this journey, I'll keep you updated. (Also, I have a youtube channel with a few study blogs on there, with hopefully more to come. The Channel Name is Jaydoeslife.)

What I wish my Study Space looked like:

Vs Reality 😅 : (not actually my desk)

This is relatable

There are a lot of posts here from a short span of time 😆
Hi - welcome to GYG! Your predicted grades look great and I can see you are committed to your studies.
Yeah revising non-stop is not good, I do this a lot and always forgot that. I'd recommend splitting your day into blocks, like wake up and have food, do 1.5 hr of chem for example, take a 45 minute walk and grab a snack, then do 2hrs, lunch, then 2 hours then rest for the day/hangout with friends. Try and schedule one getting up and doing something active/social a day, energises the mind. Obviousoy that schedule would be for non school days.
On my results day I went out shopping with my friends, it's good to plan something for the day, no matter how it went it's important to celebrate your hard work.
A level choices look great for Med
Amazing choice of songs, haven't heard the second one (will listen now), first one is fab though.
Tagging @Trickia @always-anxious @Maximum-tragedy @Geo Lover 7 @DerDracologe @nandinii___ @Noor A. S. A. as a few people who may be interested in following along

(Just letting you know that my school wouldn't predict anyone 9s either) So far I am very happy with my predictions, I'm just anxious, I hope I can replicate these results or better, that would be fab!

thank you! I'll probably ease off a bit after this and give me back my weekends but the stress of GCSE's being only 10 weeks away is crazy!

Is anyone else planning on buying something nice after GCSEs if you get good grades or something -like a push present but for exams? I thought it might be quite nice to go shopping and get clothes for sixth form and things (since I live in my school uniform 5 days a week and my wardrobe literally only has summer clothes) Anyways let me know your thoughts!

Currently my A-level choices are:
💬 What are you guys planning on taking?

. I wasted my summer holidays (I was SO bored for most of it) . I didn't attend prom but I don't mind that.
Great predicted grades.
Please don't do that again.
Take time off at weekends.
Great plan!
I enjoyed my results day because of the results but didn't do anything special.
They're great subjects for being a doctor. I'm doing Geography, History and Sociology at A-Level currently.

Wow thanks! You're A-levels are very interesting subjects, do you have a plan of what you want to do in the future?
