I'm on my secod week of half term, and literally all i've done is revision, becasue I have a bio mini mock and a maths test first thing next week. I've also started watching vampire diaries: legacies and realised that I have the bio olympiad and chem olympiad in the span of 2 weeks (or 1 week if my teachers are extra mean) so I should probably start prepping for those...
Hope everyone's halfterm is going well / has gone well!

That's serious commitment. By the way, if anyone is interested in current odds and bonus promotions, there is a clear overview at https://bdmbets-at.com/

I mean with me I go to private school so we get longer holidays, but I think a lot of schools are moving to a 2 week october half term as well. I'm ill as well this half term, but hopefully we'll get through it

All of the above. Currently on holiday.
I'm spending my first week relaxing (most of it I'm on holiday) and Second week doing everything else
I have 2 weeks but only started half term on Friday so don't go back until the 10th.

Go to a state school (academy) with 2 weeks. My school's trust tried a 2-week half term 2 years ago (one of the schools that was not private to have a 2 week half-term) to reduce staff/student absences in November and it worked so we have a 2 week half-term now.

I dropped to a B because i forgot quite a lot of year 12 content over the summer for September mocks and we’ve started doing paper 3 questions now so i need to work on them cos theyre hard to get right if you haven’t practiced (evil mark schemes lol).
Yeah i have 11.5 days i think :colone:

I wish my school did this! Do you lose holiday in the summer then?

We have a similar thing, basically longer holidays for this half term and Xmas so that the teaching hours work out that students can have after school lessons if they need more support or are aiming for top grades. We dont lose any of our summer (we get 7 weeks i think)

I'm hoping to finish obsessively stalking my prospective sixth forms/colleges, draft my applications and revise for year 11 mocks as well as make a weekly revision plan of non-negotiable commitments.
Good luck to anyone who has exams soon, and hope everyone has an amazing half term
