So a few days ago CIE results were finally announced after a very long wait!
Personally, I was pleasantly surprised. A* in IGCSE Eng(Lit), Phys, Bio, Chem and A in AS Maths. However, compared to the rest of my class, it wasn't that great and I'm slightly worried I might not make it into the top maths/english classes this year (we stream like, everything).
Which brings me to the topic of goal setting. People don't seem to realise how important spending 30 minutes to think and write down some goals for the year is. Goals give us something to work towards, instead of just thinking "oh, I'm going to work super hard this year and get better results", be more specific.
For example, here are my academic goals for 2013:
95+ when I resit AS Maths and 90+ for my A2
Be specific and reasonable. If you are terrible at a certain subject, don't force yourself to get that A*. For me, English is a very bipolar subject, sometimes I do great, sometimes I totally misread a essay question and fail horribly. Therefore, I aim for that A because it's enough and it's easier to work to.
So go get some paper, and jot down your goals for 2013. I hope it'll give you the motivation to work hard and achieve those results you want :)
