Hey don't wanna be rude or anything but you don't seem to be studying English or maths if I'm correct? These are your core subjects!

Hello, yeah going by this I actually am not doing much in these subjects but this log is just for topics that I study outside of my homework. In maths we get homework every night and I always do it and the whole class also stays back after school every Tuesday for an hour of extra maths. I think that this is sufficient at the minute because I'm not struggling with anything. But you are right about the English, I really should be doing extra but we get good homework like for example I just finished an essay about Seamus Heaney's poetry this evening..

krisfoster8

Biology: Human Reproduction 1
Geography: The CAP and The CFP

Heres a few predictions for Christmas tests.. I'm being conservative enough here :P

English B3
Maths B3
Engineering A2/B1
Ag Science B2
Biology B2
German B3
Geography B1/B2

Didn't put down any A's because I dont want to be disappointed :L

MRledzepo

still dont know what the reading comprehension was about.. Something about a granny and a wooden shoe

Anyway I have biology and Maths tonight so I have a long night ahead

krisfoster8

Had Biology and Maths today.. Glad I worked as hard at biology as I did because the paper was really difficult.. I thought I did quite well though.. and maths went so much better than I thought it would.. Thats all of my exams finished until ag science on friday so I took this evening off study.. Getting back to it next week though!

MRledzepo

so how did all the exams go ?you didn't post yesterday ? did you collapse in the exam ? suicide ? mental breakdown?

krisfoster8

Hey, haha no not quite. Ill leave the mental breakdown until June I think.. :P Just had an ag science test today.. Went quite well. Just after finding out that I got an A2 in maths so I'm delighted. I'm only going to spend this weekend and up until Christmas doing ag science and engineering project stuff but after Christmas day it's back into some hardcore studying

.. Ill keep yous posted on results and stuff too.. If yous have any questions don't be shy :L .. andddd Happy Christmas everyone!

MRledzepo

congrats on the maths:)
