my year 10 gyg 💛💐 aiming for all 9s

hiii! I've started a couple of these before, but I only post once before abandoning them, and along with it, my revision, so this is basically my blog to vow to myself that I will actually revise

I'm currently in year 10, and my school is very strict on who can and can't take four a levels, and so I need a total of 66 (I think they're called CAT points?). For a level, I really want to take maths, biology, chemistry, and psychology, and since finding out that I need almost all 9s to achieve this, I have been really motivated to study :smile:

For gcse, I take:
- AQA Sociology
- AQA Biology
- Edexcel French
- AQA Chemistry
- Edexcel English Literature
- Edexcel Maths
- AQA Physics
- Eduqas English Language
- AQA Religious Studies A
- AQA History

(and I'm starting the further maths course soon, but idk which exam board lol)

I feel like getting 7s, 8s, and 9s in my subjects is realistic, but not for history. I am horrible at history, I love the content, but I am atrocious at exam technique 😭
And I have my history mock tmr 😔

So far, my maths paper 1 mock was horrible, rs was bad, physics was amazing, chemistry was really good, English Language was great, English Literature was heaven sent, sociology was 😨.

Bio and History tomorrow, French on Tuesday, and Maths paper 2 on Wednesday

I'm actually so nervous for history because I am so bad at it 😭

I hope I won't have to drop it :frown:

MOCKS ARE OVERRR! I spoke to some of my teachers today and they told me that I did really well, so I'm so much less nervous for results now 💗

SOME MOCKS BACKKKK:
English Language - 9!!! IM SO HAPPY, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE WE JUST SWAPPED EXAM BOARDSS
English Lit - 'barely scraped' a 7 BUT ITS STILL A SEVEN SO YAYYY I thought I ate so hard though because the 20 marker was on change in a christmas carol - I got 27/40 on the Christmas carol component
French - 9!!! 92/98 IM ACTUALLY SO HAPPY
Sociology - 8! 75/100 - IM SO ANNOYED W THIS ONE, BECAUSE IT'S THE MOCK I CARED THE MOST ABOUTT 😔 4 marks off of a nine is why I'm annoyed, but otherwise I'm really happy - especially because one of the 12 markers was on a topic we have not covered
History - I only got cold war (1/3 of my mock) back so far - but I got a 7, I flopped the 20 marker so badly, I revised history all of the holidays, it was the subject I revised the most for, and now I have intervention 😔

Grade boundaries for science and maths are still undecided, but...

Physics - 74%!!! IM SO HAPPY I WAS ALWAYS SO BAD AT PHYSICS! I ATE THIS PAPER SO HARD IM SO HAPPY
Chemistry - 70%!!!!! IM SO HAPPY, BECAUSE I LOVE CHEM, BUT MY EXAM TECHNIQUE IS SO BAD, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IVE EVER GOTTEN ABOVE 60% SO IM DELIGHTED
Maths - 77%!!!! I came out literally sobbing because I thought i did so badly, but I'm honestly so happy :smile:

overall, good so far, I'm getting bio back tomorrow, eds on Thursday, no clue when I'm getting RS back :smile:))

I'm actually so happy 💗
