112 hrs missed of work💀

Its been like 14 weeks into yr 12. I take bio, chem, maths, so very hard a levels. I've been quite behind in terms of hmwrk and being on top of things. Because of not getting hmwrk done, most lessons im pretty confused and in sm im completely clueless.

Now tht i think abt it, it might be because i dont actually use my frees productively. Like i'd js chill, talk to friends. smtimes i would try to revise, but get distracted or js dont have the discipline and tell myself ill do it at home, but never do.

Yes i calculated the amount of hrs, 16 hrs frees in 2 weeks, so i've missed 112 hrs. Would this have even made a difference or helped? Because i leave everything for home im always tired and never get anything done.

Can yall pls gimme some advice on how i can use my frees 100% productively cuz i haven't used a single one yet to revise. Any tips + help is very much appreciated:smile:

It will be impossible to actually LEARN anything during frees. You could try doing homework or practice questions during the frees, or make and edit your notes. If your teacher lets you leave you could also take any questions to your subject teachers to get help.

I think you probably need to ask your subject teachers for help and maybe ask pastoral staff for help with organisation and planning if these are options for you. It is way better to ask for help now than letting things slip even further.

Loud classroom. Other people. General disturbances. For maths it would be possible to learn ig but if you’re trying to learn the theory/facts for chem and bio it’ll be hard. You might be able to understand content but anything you need to memorise is best to be done at home.
