Today I did more work on my prose NEA, I added about 600 words to it and refined my points! Now I only have one more point and my conclusion to finish!

I also wrote up another practice question for an English paper and went over the structure of my economics essays :smile:

I did some work also structuring a plan for an English essay

Lots of English work :frown:

Overall revision today: 3.5 hours

Today I did about 3 hours of econ in the morning going over globalisation and trade + some micro diagrams

Then I finally completed my prose NEA draft! Sent it to my teacher to have a look at too

Also completed practice on a crime paper, only got through a plan and paragraph of it but it was quite time consuming :frown:

Overall revision hours: 6hours :0
