Spanish Oral Chp 1-12

Got a fair but done today still have to learn the role plays for a Spanish Oral on Thursday
My aim for tomorrow is to focus on Spanish and get the roleplays learnt. Won't have much time as I'm going to a show but hopefully I'll get them done 👍

lipcious_xx

So my Spanish oral went much better than expected which is such a relief!
Today I did my weekend homework plus:
Irish SP 1
Accounting Tabs and Club accounts

Tomorrow I'm hoping to revise:

So Christmas revision hasn't been going as well as I hoped but I'm really going to try to get a good bit done today:
Irish revise sp 1-5
Biology Chp 1-3
Chem Chp 4
Spanish Comprehension

I've done a far bit of maths and I'm doing English grinds tomorrow so this should be alright for today ðŸ‘

lipcious_xx

Ok so 3 and a bit weeks to the mocks overall I'm not feeling too stressed... Yet...
Today I had Spanish grinds for 2 hours so only got my homework done

Tomorrow I'll do my weekend homework (well hopefully) and make out a study plan for the rest of January

lipcious_xx

Study is actually going reasonably well!
Today I did:
Chemistry Chp 4,7,8
Maths Algebra

Tomorrow the plan is to just get my homework done with 2 hours of Spanish grinds!
18 days to go 😬

lipcious_xx

Ok so 6 days to go! I've really just been doing homework for the last week or so but I'm going to start my own final revision tomorrow 👍
Also have Irish and Spanish listenings so hopefully they won't be too bad!

lipcious_xx

Ok so plan for today:
Learn my Othello quotes
Then I have English grinds so after that:
Biology Chp 16,17,18,29,30
Accounting Theory on Control, Dep & Reval, Incomplete, Costing

lipcious_xx

Ok so tomorrow's the big day! Honestly I'm just going to try get some sleep I'll update how the exams go throughout the next two weeks 👍

lipcious_xx

English paper 1 done! Overall it was a fair paper but it was very samey - all the questions were very similar!
Today I need to learn my quotes for othello and poetry and pray that Frost makes an appearance tomorrow!

lipcious_xx

Ok mock update!
English 2 went reasonably well, got it finished, made a mess of unseen poetry though! Overall I'd be disappointed with less than a B1 in English

Biology: didn't cover the whole course so a bit of guess work was necessary, what I'd studied i flew through, optimistically hoping for an A2 but I can't really complain with a B

Accounting: there was a misprint on product costing q and I had to get one of the teachers to get the accounting teacher to ask about it, which wasted a fair bit of time! 😕 I got it finished though and I'd say it'll be my best shot an an A1!

I'll update as I do more exams!

lipcious_xx

Ok if this week has taught me anything it's that cramming the night before doesn't work anymore!
I mean none of the mocks have gone disastrously or anything but I know I could be doing better 😠
Nearly fell asleep in my exams today I'm that exhausted so early night is in store!!!

Today I had:
Maths 1 it wasn't too bad really made a mess of financial maths and polynomial graphs though
Spanish: the comprehensions were really difficult apart from that I can't complain I'd say maybe a B1/B2

lipcious_xx

4 more exams to go starting with Irish 1 tomorrow, I'm just going to look over some essay Vocab, then maybe watch an episode of suits, then off to bed 👌

lipcious_xx

Ok so Irish done, don't think it went too badly although I ended up writing an essay on something we hadn't covered.. 😕

Comprehensions were fine, poetry was fine, I hadn't really done enough study for An Triail though

Optimistically hoping for a B1
Chemistry and maths paper 2 left then I'm finished!

lipcious_xx

Had chemistry today it didn't go too badly considering, although I hadn't covered 2/3 experiments that came up 😬😬😬
Maths paper 2 tomorrow and then I'm finished! Feels like the mocks have been going on forever!!

lipcious_xx

Haven't been updating this purely because I took midterm off!
The new term has hit me like a tonne of bricks so I'm going to start up a study plan again tomorrow! 👍

Tomorrow I've a Spanish oral so I'll post how that goes but we've been told not to expect the mocks back for at last another 2 weeks... By which point I'll have forgotten even doing the exams but sure what can you do 😬

lipcious_xx

Figured I may as well post mock predictions here:

Subject | Grade
Biology | A2
Chemistry | A2
English | A2
Irish | B1
Maths | A2
Spanish | B2
Accounting | A2

Some of these are a tad optimistic but sure if I can get anywhere close to this I'd be delighted!

lipcious_xx

So my Spanish oral went really well, I got 89%, on one hand I'm absolutely delighted but I'm also slightly disappointed that I lost a mark in the roleplay because there was a grammar mistake in what my teacher gave us to learn off!
If it wasn't for that I would've got an A1!

Still no mocks back... Getting annoying at this stage!

lipcious_xx

2 mocks back today!
English didn't go too well, I got a B3 which was less than I was hoping for but at least there's plenty of room for improvement!
Accounting went so well though, I got 95% which I'm absolutely thrilled with!! Hopefully I'll get the rest back soon!
