I think if I sat my exams starting tomorrow I would get an A*/A in Bio and A/B in Maths, definitely sticking to my revision plan!
I have mocks after Easter so working on flashcards (really need to do another 3 past papers for sciences before the end of the week...). Trying not to forget about frequent maths practice as well cos its only 57 days til my first exam :hide:

If I sat my exams, I'd be fine. A+ in Spanish for suuure. I'm looking over all my past homeworks and I've never gotten anything under 93% 😛😛😛😛 over da moon about that

Ig i'm alright, if I actually did my exams now i would probably not be happy with Chemistry so i did want to spend most of the holidays on chemistry but i have a bio paper 3 mock next week and i had to do quite a bit of essay practice. If i had my exams tmw I would probably be on an A* in maths and bio but Chemistry i cant guarantee anything 😭😭😭

i take ib so apologies if the grades sound confusing! i'll equate them to a levels at the end of the message but stick with me for now (or don't - this is mostly for my own sake)
if i took the exams tomorrow (*gulp*) i would get
maths - 6
ess - 6 (maybe a low 7)
french - 7
english - 6 (maybe a low 7)
geography - 7 (?)
history - 6 (maybe a low 7)

i haven't actually marked any past papers i've done so these are just very conservative estimates! still, that and assuming i get 3 in tok and ee, my final grade would amount to 41 (or 42) out of 45

that, to anyone who's still reading for some reason, is equivalent to all A*s at a levels

so not bad but still i would definitely not feel prepared taking my exams tomorrow!

sorry for the long message i'm sure it made sense to absolutely no one lol

i had mocks pretty recently and did pretty much no revision and got very high A, very high B, and a mid-range B, but it was on topics we had covered more recently in class so i've definitely got to lock in 😔

if exams were tomorrow, I think I'll do alright, just not as good as I would want to do. for sciences, in past papers I tend to get around an 8, so maybe 8s for those. english lit probably a 6, which is what I got in my mock. english language probably an 8, which I also got in my mock. maths and german would both be 9s as they're my strong subjects, rs maybe a 9 or an 8 - I've been getting a few 9s recently but I'm not confident I'll get a 9 in my actual exams. drama depends on how well I've done in coursework, but written would probably be a 6. geography would be maybe an 8 if I locked in and learnt the case studies. further maths would probably go badly - I don't get much practice for it.

I feel I am a bit of all of them. I feel like if I were to sit them tomorrow, I would probably have solid passes across all my subjects. Maybe 8s/9s in French and Maths and maybe CS (or that might be a 7 now tbh). I think for English, again 7s or 8s. Science might be an interesting one but possible at least 7s for those and Art, I'm cooked anyways so probably a pass (4 or 5) and Geography, hmm possibly a 6.
I sort of know the gaps though so Maths, mostly just recapping a few topics and staying focused and calm in the test. CS would probably need a little revision on programming (Especially arrays). Geography- it's case studies and I guess English is just a little revision and Sciences, just need to do paper 2 revision so overall, not amazing but not terrible.
Think I just waffled on but good luck everyone!

Completely stressing, all my art is due next week and frantically trying to get it done (fingers crossed an A/A*). In physics papers I’ve been doing I’m getting consistent Bs, need to turn those into As. And history I’m good at but have neglected so really need to start memorising 😪

I can't lie ive done some past papers in easter but i feel like i might need to do more for bio, geo and english lit. :work:

However if i sat my exams now i'd probably get 9s in maths, physics, chemistry, DT (i got >95% in NEA) and maybe bio and french? I'd get 8s in Computing, Geography and hopefully both english lit and lang :afraid:

i am definitely procrastinating by making a post here, but I would say that while I have a plan that I have partially stuck to, I am nowhere near ready to write something tomorrow as I haven't covered even half the content for my subjects. Ive been focusing on doing practice questions, because exam technique is something that can't be learnt last minute (or so ive been telling myself to push back the gruelling work/guilt of spending so much time sitting down to study a few topics).
Soo definitely the third one sadly ☹️ hope to get it to no. 2 by the end of the week by setting aside time to focus on specific topics, doing more past paper questions and stuffs :'')
biology and chemistry would be B-A right now, spanish an A?, classics a B...

If I did my exams tommorow (and I had the evening to revise), I feel like I would get:
9 in history, maths
8 in english lang. and lit. and rs
7/8s in sciences
7 in spanish, geography
which is okay but definitely a reality check lol.

I don't think I would achieve what i wanted if I sat my exams tomorrow.
My focus is literally exam techniques and how the questions are structured since that's the thing that lets me down.
I have a plan and have been somewhat consistent with following it but I want to feel really confident with what I am doing.
Chemistry maybe a C
Biology maybe a B or A depends on the questions
Maths C if I don't practice loads more questions.
