Thank you so much for reading my journal and ALWAYS updating 🥰. Your positivity and comment really did make my day and help motivate me. I wish you the best for biology and I am certain you will get 45+, heck even a 50!

Hey almaria, thank you so much for binging this ENTIRE journal
. I cannot wait to follow your journey and I'm glad you like my positivity, i try ❤️
This lockdown has been hard, it's been bloody long (at least 9 weeks but no one is counting..... right) and I cannot wait to finally see my friends tomorrow, most of which I haven't seen in real life since school locked down (we love when your friends live super far away). Mental health has been a little bit rocky but I have really been working on self care in the past couple of weeks 😊. Life has been going so slow yet so fast (I can't believe there is only 1 more term left until I am in year 12
). I also cannot believe that my first exam is in 38 days !!!!! AHHHHHHHHH
Onto my subjects:
Methods✰Content ✅ SACs ✅ Bound Reference ✅
(ish, still needs examples but close enough) and now onto practice exam questions. Exam 1s are going ok, I have been making a lot of stupid mistakes but I haven't done any under timed conditions. Exam 2s are kicking my butt though (Ashmi, how did you say that you enjoyed these... please teach me your ways). My marks range so so much on these but again I hope to improve with timed conditions. I've done like 20 exams so far (all as like worksheets) and I need to really go through and target my weaknesses. For Exam 1 I am getting around 80-95ish on each and For Exam 2 I am getting around 70-85ish. Pretty good, I need to improve for a 44 but I feel like I will scrape a 40 at least with my high SAC ranking.
✰ Any methods exam revision tips would be appreciated
Further✰My one true love, further maths. Doing exams is kinda therapeutic if I'm gonna be completely honest, because I understand all the content really well (a lot better than methods if I'm gonna be honest). Again, lots of stupid mistakes but I have noticed a reduction in them so I am hoping for them to go down to 0 before the actual exam in 38 days
. I've done like 20 exams again so far and only a few under timed conditions and I am getting around 85-95 for each exam. I really want a 45+
(deep down a 47) but right now I'm more tracking towards low-mid 40s. Gotta keep on grinding for that high score
✰ Any further exam revision tips would be appreciated
English Language✰Not much to say for this, I got a 93% on my last SAT and I have an essay due next week that I need to finish (only 1/3 through and I've had the essay for a month, whoops!) Not really enjoying this subject but it is bareable so yeah
Chemistry✰Gives further a run for its money for my favourite subject. AOS 1 was a success, I really enjoyed the acid-base and redox topic in the end and I got a 97% on the final test so go me! AOS 2 is a bit more boring but I'm getting through it thankfully. Chem has been the best subject online I think but I'm super glad to get back to school and maybe do some pracs!
French✰French has been a struggle recently, I have been SUPER unmotivated and honestly considered dropping it at one point. I want to put more effort into my French studies next year (haven't I said this in every update, yes I have). I got 80% on my last outcome which is again not too bad considering the amount of effort I have been putting in (aka none)
Mundane Life Update: I am not looking forward to the GAT. At all. I did a practice GAT and I thought I did horribly, actually didn't do too bad, but I want to do a heck of a lot better on the real thing tomorrow. No one knows how the GAT will be used this year and I don't want my scores being affected negatively, especially because I am riding for my two 3/4s (further and methods) to be high in my top 4 because I am stronger in them than my other subjects. I haven't really done any targeted revision other than a bit of a practice GAT and watch and read some advice, but I am just hoping for the best.
I hope you all have a great week, good luck on the GAT to my fellow year 11s and year 12s and let's hope I actually update on here more 😂🥰
Eloise🤪😊
