ruby’s year11 gyg ✎ᝰ.

hellooo im in year 11 and im trying to get all eights and nines in my gcses (all nines hopefully!)

gcses are getting closer and closer and i want to immerse myself more in the revision lifestyle, hopefullythis helps

my gcses:
•english literature/language
•maths
•combined science
•history
•mandarin
•music
•religious studies (already sat)

my school felt different and quirky and made us sit rs in year 10, but im so glad they did. i got a 192/204 in rs! its my absolute favourite and im gonna take it for a level. alsooo i did triple science through year 10 but my school got rid of it.. so now i just know a bunch of useless stuff and have 1 less gcse! similarly, my school got rid of fm :frown:((

im sitting at current grade 7s 8s and 9s in all my subjects right now but im sitting my last round of mocks soon so i hope i get all 8s and 9s!!!

mocks results evening is on the 10th of march so i’ll update this blog, and i hope to meet some nice people ✌︎㋡

today i had chem 2 and mandarin reading and listening mocks. chemistry 2 went great its my favourite science paper, but mandarin was something else…. my mandarin teachers have been super inconsistent and im my schools first cohort of mandarin so its tricky. but! im still predicted well and achieving well so hopefully its all in my head.
tomorrow i have maths paper 3! maths 1 went great but paper 2 was horrrribleee. i hope paper 3 goes well i really want to get an 8 or 9. a 9 is prettttty ambitious though bc my teachers using grade boundaries where u have to get like 75/80 on all papers to get a 9 :/ so i’ll settle with an 8 i guesssss…
im gonna revise some long worded probability because that always catches me out

Always start with the Amber topics rather than the red ones. Which websites do you use?
