Parawhore's Study Log

    Well I'm Anna, 18, 6th year.
    Hoping to do Science in Trinity next year so aiming for 500+ points but what I really want is the 590+ bracket.
    I'm a horrible procrastinator though so that can really count against me:/

    Subjects + Grade aiming for:
    English- A2/1
    Irish- A1
    French- A1
    Maths- A1
    Biology- A1
    Chemistry- A1
    History- B1+ but if the exam paper goes my way then A1

    (All HL btw)

    So yeah I'm fairly ambitious and competitive so hopefully this will help keep me on track! I've mocks for the next two weeks so that should keep me focused, interested to see how close I can get to my target grades!

    So for today..
    I've already done:
    Biology: redid some of my Christmas exam, read over genetics.
    Maths: some algebra and inequalities revision.

    Going to try do:
    Maths: Logs
    Sequences & Series (we've only just started it)
    Calculus Proofs
    Inequalities.

    English: Read over P1 notes.


    In terms of how I study a lot of it would be making out my own notes, condensing them ashore and more everytime I revise a topic and using the exam papers, especially with bio chem and maths.

    With my other subjects it's more a matter of condensing the information and having triggers to remember more information. Learning whole essays off disgusts my brain and it just won't do it!!

    Plan for tomorrow;
    Respiration, look through Chemistry past papers, imperialism in history and poetry poetry poetry for English!!

    So far I've got Wordsworth pretty well revised and I've found some notes for Mahon (we did him in TY and 4th year me was an idiot who didn't keep notes) gonna do some chemistry then complex numbers in maths

    Righ so complex numbers just aren't going in at the moment...
    Gonna switch it up and for some calculus for a bit I think!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 571 ✭✭✭Parawhore.xD


    Think ive got what we've done in calculus so far pretty nailed down, finshing up some English then I think some biology. Probably section B questions or respiration.

    If I've time I'll look at an Irish essay too!

    Okay so in my double revision today I got a nice chunk of maths done:
    The circle
    Some of the line
    Bit of complex numbers
    And again some more calculus.

    Also did some macbeth. (appearance vs reality)
    And some poetry in Mahon.

    Tonight I have revised blood in biology and some of the defence system.
    Moving onto English again and revising Hopkins then some Macbeth quotes before busting my ass on maths p1 for the rest of the evening, should be great!! -_-

    Saw your Mocks results. Fair play, you're obviously a genius.

    Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!! No not at all, I think a lot of my mocks were marked too easily to be honest. Plus I just got lucky with questions too, questions I'd been banking on came up and stuff, so there's no guarantee I'll repeat it in June, but here's hoping I will!

    Think I'll get this going again just to keep track over the holidays...
    Only started back yesterday because of a hockey tournament and I've been totally exhausted!
    Yesterday I did some Irish oral, SPs and poetry reading, going to meet up with two friends for comhra practice tomorrow I think.
    I also started ecology in Biology, which I hate and am going to finish up in a bit today.
    Currently working on making up an exercise plan now that my hockey season is over otherwise I'll go crazy!
    But the plan for today is:
    Ecology,
    French homework (2 comps and 2 written pieces)
    SPs 3, 4&5 for Irish.
    And maybe some unionism for history..
    Let's get to it!
