Cos I'm a TY and I used to get p!ssed at the 5th years who'd post on the TY OT thread
We're one of them now unfortunately.. the 'threadless' TY's XD
Suppose I should introduce maself, I'm Leia :') I technically should only be in 3rd year this year cos I'm young, so sure I fit right in here XD
But yeah, same goes as what SChique00 said, if anybody has any questions about anything feel free to ask, my specialities would be science and maths but I did alright in everything else too ^^0 -
If anyone needs help with JC English PM me and I'll do my best - I asked for help with it last year and was very lucky to get great advice from another Boardsie - don't know if she's still knocking around, though :L just putting it out there!
That wasn't me, was it?
Into mod mode...: you can have this thread but be good, there is such a thing as going too off-topic (last year's thread was evidence of that). Godspeed.
*cough* Let's just forget about last years thread shall we? XD
Quite funny to read back over a year later though :')0 -

Sup Leia .. how do you pronounce that?? .. Were you moved up a year or did you start school early?
Lay-ah (not Lee-ah, I will hate anybody who calls me that eternally ^^')
I started school early, youngest in my year now, it sucks being half a year younger than everyone :'(0 -
Hi Leia.I have a questionmy specialities would be science and maths How did you study for maths after the mocks ?I got 86% in the mock and i haven't done anything since then.Every time I open my exam papers to study I feel like I'm sort of wasting my time, as I could be studying my weaker subjects.Not really sure what to do 0 -

My first guess would have been lee-ah.. awkward :P :P
I think you should look at it differently, you've achieved just as much as they have, perhaps more... but you've done it at a younger age.
Think of it this way.. Two Men..or women are millionaire's...one became a millionaire when they were 19, the other when they were 27, which would you rather be?0 -

Firstly, well done for doing so well I'm the mocks! I found the mocks in maths the hardest because we hadn't gotten the course finished :L
I only did two things to study for maths, and i swear by them, and they got me an A :L
All I did was pick a question (eq P1Q1) and do every single one of them I had, because as you do them you notice the trends in the questions, and get used to answering them :L by the time the exams had rolled around id done every exam paper twice XD And as for learning theorems, what I did was make mind maps, putting the name in the middle and putting the steps around it, made them really easy to remember :L
Don't fall into the trap of doing less work on good subjects, yes, put more focus on your worse subjects, but still spend time on maths, one of the tricks to maths is staying familiar with it, if you do one question a day just to keep the 'cogs' turning in your brain youll do yourself a huge favor in the exams :L0 -

Thank you! I was afraid I'd come across as a bit of a creeper haha :rolleyes: don't be afraid to ask me anything about the JC that you might be worried or curious about
Is the trouble with Irish a case of you not understanding the stuff or just not studying enough? If you really don't understand it then you should consider grinds. I got grinds for Maths last year (it wasn't a case of my not working hard enough, I seriously needed them if I wanted to pass at HL
), and they were well worth the money. They really are a last resort - if you're just a little worried about specific topics on the paper, have a chat with your teacher and maybe they could give you some lessons after school, or revision notes? Teachers are always willing to listen to you if they know you're genuine
Ugh Business was the only paper where I went down a grade - went from an A to a B and was really disappointed, but slightly less so when I found out that only one person in our year got an A :P I went up in everything else though - all I remember about the mocks was that I got 3 As (one in History, one in French and one in Business), but I ended up getting 6 As in the real exam
After the mocks was when I really started to study after school and on weekends, but here's what the teachers and revision books won't tell you - as long as you've been doing all of your homework consistently since first year, and have held onto any notes the teachers gave you, then just look back over them and you'll be grand - it'll be more a case of mild revision than anything else. Go over your mock papers if you got them back, aim to do one full paper a week in each subject and give them to your teacher to correct, and most important of all, DON'T WORK TOO HARD. Please, PLEASE make sure you have enough downtime each day - I panicked and stressed and fretted because all I wanted was an A in English, and it got me nowhere; I would've gotten exactly the same results without the stress because I had worked consistently all along. :pac:
WOW that was a long post :eek:
I second that.
Balance between study and down-time is key.
Seriously, fretting and wearing yourself out from 'hours spent as a recluse studying in your room, (with blacked out windows), clad in fatigue' will get you nowhere...

We only do French in my school... but some science tips wouldn't go astray. I got a C in the mocks with minimal study..0 -

Nope - I am in no way scientifically or logically inclined xP heard it was good though!
