A Levelling Up. STAT. A Y13's journey to Academic Weaponship...

˚˖𓍢🌷✧˚.🎀⋆˚˖𓍢🌷✧˚.🎀⋆
Hi there, and welcome to my Y12 Summer and Y13 GYG!
Some people may be coming over from my Y12 GYG and some might be new altogether, so i'll introduce myself
My name is AcademicWeapon29 and i'm so glad you're here (and hopefully here to stay). A bit about me:
-I'm an aspiring medic, which means you can probably guess some of my subject combo, Bio (AQA), Chem (AQA), Maths (AQA), Further Maths (AQA) and an EPQ.
- I want to get 5 A*s in all of my subjects and my EPQ as well
- I feel like Y12 was just a trial of A-Levels for me, it has gone by so quick so I really need to lock in for Y13 or I might not get the grades that I want...
- I do quite a few things outside of school such as Army Cadets, playing netball competitively, volunteering and some other stuff
- I sing (grade 7)
- I think I actually have an addiction tot taking part in competitions. Like whenever I see one that's interesting, I just go and do it, even if its not relatively related to what I actually want to do...
- I read quite a bit, my favourite genres right now have to be fantasy anad murder mystery
- I also like drawing as well
-l LOVE listening to music and my favourite artists rn would probably have to be XG, Say Now (I legit only found out about them an hour ago, but I'm literally obsessed rn), and Stray Kids. I do like a lot of genres though.
Currently, I'm just stressing revising for UCAT, since I have it in 15 days.
I booked my UCAT at the start of August because I pretty much wanted to have a month of revision for UCAT and a month for my subjects (and also competitions!). Also, after UCAT , i'll be doing my theory test so I have that to prepare for as well.
I'm going to try to be much more consistent with this GYG, and try posting everyday, which i'll probably be able to do in the holidays, but maybe not when school starts again. I'll update again later on today withhow UCAT revision today has gone.
Hope you're staying to follow along with my Year 13 triage: exams, offers, and more exams!

Well, my gyg hasn't been deleted this time, and hopefully it stays that way! Today I just generally did UCAT, I didn't focus on any section in particular, going through all of them. Although I did UCAT generally today, I focused on sjt, and I did get quite a bit better in a short time, which is good, because sht used to be my worst section. I haven't got any Band 1s yet tho, so fingers crossed 🤞. I also have started using this kind of adaptive question bank, that kind of tells you your skill level and the average time you're spending on each question, which I think is really useful.
Anyway hope you're all doing well and i'll update tomorrow hopefully!

LANGUAGE QUOTE OF THE DAY:
七転び八起き
(nana korobi ya oki) - Japanese
'Fall seven times, stand up eight'
(those of you who followed from my last gyg thought I'd forgotten, but alas, I haven't...)

Great work on your ucat prep!
I also made a summer gyg if you want to follow https://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=7612559&p=100786398&page=1&viewing_newpost=1#post100786398

Morning everyone, how are you today? I dont know why I'm actually so tired today but I don't really have time to take a break from UCAT stuff. I think I'm going to do QR today, because I can do it, I just spend way too long on the questions though. I might also spam some sjt...
Also, I was thinking that it's better to out the language quote of the day thing on my first post of the day rather than my last, I feel like that just makes more sense, so I'll add one to this update.

I did qr today, and I figure i just need to get faster at it. I thought I was bad at QR before but it turns out i just run out of time because i'm not working quick enough. I think i'm going to do QR tmw as well. I also looked at writing part of the first question of my personal statement, I'm trying to make it kind of funny/witty, we'll see how that goes loll
I also kind of randomly applied to some BHF volunteering at a charity shop near me, and I also applied for some hospital volunteering so fingers crossed 🤞.
Peace ✌

IKRR, love mtp, I'm so sad to leave soon tho, I don't think I could manage y13 and cadets. No but why do we call them puddle pirates as well in army cadets

ooh good luck w that! that volunteering sounds good

Thanks! Actually both of the volunteering ppl have got back to me, so I have an interview for the bhf one the day before I do ucat, and I've had a kind of call/informal interview from the hospital volunteering people, so I just need to fill some forms and read some like safeguarding stuff, as well as doing a course and then I can start there!

Hi again everyone, I hope you're doing well.
IVE FINALLY DONE IT I'M FREEE, NO MORE UCATTTTTT
🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
Now that I've got that out of my system, I'm actually going to try and be more consistent on here. I've actually been on TSR in the past week, but I just haven't posted on here. Today I'm doing some maths revision and also going over y2 content as well. I'm starting with proof and what I plan to do is revise y1 proof and then do y2 proof, essentially doing the y1 chapters and then the corresponding y2 ones afterwards so it makes sense. I'm planning to go and watch the new Fantastic Four and the new Superman tmw, so I'm going to try and get as much done as possible today.
