How are you finding your subjects so far in year 12?

Great work today!
Nice boots 🙂 Lacing them up must be hell tho lol

days before first mocks: 56 days
hello! did not have time to post this morning, and i've just found out my further maths teacher isn't going to be in all week!! 😓 self study it is then
also getting my physics test back on SUVAT and motion tomorrow, i got humbled by it
goals:
✦ understand what is happening with prim's algorithm (further)
✦ more physics waves summary questions
✦ target oxbridge interview: went decently okay but i forgot examples of renewable energy sources
✦ finish my powerpoint for next week's assembly
i didn't do much today, that powerpoint needs to be done by tomorrow so i'll finish it at lunch and send it then 🤞
good night mls! stay safe
jay

Thats unfortunate that your teacher isnt in, hope the feedback for physics is useful though 🙂
Whats your PowerPoint on? Hope the tasks go well!

days before first mocks: 55 days
hello!! i actually got quite a bit of work done today and also forgot to do my psychology homework whoops
also i need to do some more psych revision because i do NOT remember the studies we've been talking about recently
i got my physics grade back and i got a B (one mark away from an A, only because my teacher bumped up the grade boundaries by around a whole 20% )
also idk if anyone here likes anime but i need to watch spyxfamily s3e6 because i still haven't and it came out on saturday c:
✦ maths chapter 6 excercises
✦ psychology hw for tomorrow
✦ glancing over physics notes
✦ fm - more chapter 3 self-study and questions
✦ finish sudan powerpoint
✦ psychology interference revision
love you guys, stay safe as always!! <3
jay

A B is still great! Well done 🙂 What are the grade boundaries like for AS Physics with your exam board?
Best of luck with your tasks!

thank you!!
for AS, its around 57% for an A (aqa), my teacher bumped it up to 80% because she thought it would be too low for us to practice with on our end of topic tests

Hi!,
Nice to meet you. I was wondering if you knew about any online course about aeronautical engineering that you could recommend me in orther to make a final boost to my supecurricular as I am applying on January for aeronautical engineering to ICL, Southampton, Bristol and two between Sheffield, Manchester and Bath.
And do you have any other tips? such as other supercurricular I should do or great resources for studying for ESAT apart from ENGAA and NSAA.
Thank you very much!

I really like your gyg - omg this is definitely motivating!! Good luck with everything

days before first mocks: 44. what.
okay sorry for disappearing but a lot has happened, just generally being burnt out and sleepy. we're back though!!
had a fun time over this weekend and the past weeks, went to a youth conference and going to bath uni tomorrow for a year 12 trip so i'm super excited
i need to LOCK IN. physics has been such a bore and hell and very tiring, i am so failing lmao. apart from that, further maths has been so fun!! i've been enjoying it much more than i thought i would. i'm appreciating level 2 (gcse) further maths as well since it means i don't have to put too much effort into regular maths.
though my biggest priority HAS TO BE PHYSICS. i might put maths and psychology to the side right now because i have been feeling really annoyed and frustrated over everything do with mechanics and waves and i need a* predicted for ICL, so it has to go well
✦ go over waves notes
✦ do chapter 7 revision of maths
✦ start chapter 5 of further maths + practice
✦ do psychology hw
✦ go on a walk
✦ do further maths hw
anyway have a great day, stay safe as always!! <3
