Once more into the fray...

DublinArnie

Applied Maths: Fully completed Relative Velocity, got all my test questions done (2015,2014,2000,1999).

Italian: Revised remaining role plays.

That's all for today, feeling pretty tired - and I've noticed I can't stick to a preplanned timetable. I'm doing STUFF, but it's not sticking to the timetable. Going to go back to the a more 'objective study plan' on Monday.

Although I'm loving the Forest App, really helps when they make a timer app into a game, and the best aspect is the timer goes off if you exit the app.

153mins

Tomorrow --> Statics for Applied Maths
--> 60m Larkin Question
--> Learn up to Sraith Picture 10

DublinArnie

Applied Maths: Statics 1/3
Irish: 1 - 10 Sraith Picture key words learned

It's a hard mental struggle, attempted the English question but I really dislike Larkin because there's not many themes you can talk about without waffling.

Tomorrow, I'm learning biology, irish Sraith Pictures and some more applied maths.

Monday, I'll sort myself out, because I've been feeling a bit off since Thursday (more water please!!!). Also, new study technique. I think I might try add another training day to my week, as exercise is key to a healthy mind!

94mins today... Zzzz

DublinArnie

Applied Maths: 2/3 Statics

Irish: Sraith Pictures well

Biology: HD, ecology, tissue culture, osmosis

DublinArnie

Right!

Applied Maths: Statics 9/10, just have to do some more exam questions, maybe tomorrow.

Irish: Sraith Pictures 1-15 vocabulary short cuts made and learnt.

Italian: Made a list of ~120 verbs, learning 10 a day (plus their past tense, present tense, future tense, conditional tense and present continuous tense variations). Going to make it a habit to test myself on languages every weekend, so a 70 verb test on Sunday and maybe 1-10 Sraith Picture.

Biology: Have a giant revision test coming up so just learning for that.

Hello Dublin, I was wondering if you could give some advice on how to study English. I keep procrastinating over doing questions or revising the different sections. Help would be much appreciated!

Honestly, all I do is learn new vocabulary and interesting phrases.

Sometimes read some notes before my exam, but I think writing well in English really comes down how much you read. I know people who suck at other subjects in school, but they read a lot, so they do well in English even though they aren't the study type clearly.

If I was you and struggling with the subject - I'd look up good alternatives to the words you use every day, repetition is something you don't want to do in an answer.

DublinArnie

Applied Maths: Started past papers for dynamics already, a little ropey for the advanced questions.

Irish: Revised a lot of interesting vocabulary.

Italian: Finished learning my list of verbs. Going to do a GIANT test on Wednesday.

Geography: Organised notes.

Feeling better and stronger!

I have been reading many articles recommended by my teacher but you are right, if you don't have the vocabulary to express your ideas then you are likely to do quite average.

Thanks !! I need to spend more time reading. Good luck with your studies, your study log motivates me substantially, both to study harder and also to stay committed to this study log thingy!

We're all in it together!

I'd recommend going on Wattpad and reading some of the high rated stories - good for ideas on how to convey points.

Make sure to download the Forest App, really helps because it's a timer that is disabled if you use your phone.

Good luck.

DublinArnie

Applied Maths: Started past papers on Projectiles (Q3). Going to go over Q1, 2, 3, 4 and 7 next weekend before moving onto something else.

DublinArnie

Oddly enough no.

It's annoying because a lot of past papers questions are calculus and you need it for applied maths also.

Hopefully after easter we will!

DublinArnie

Physchem: Revised Motion

Finished Italian Oral study, going to refresh this weekend.

Hopefully get the rest of Sraith Pictures done tomorrow.

More differentiation for maths.
