preppy bimbo doll, here we go!

haiiii hunnie bunniez!!

i have some amazing, spectacular news!! i’m going to be able to go to university!! and yes, i honestly couldn’t care less about school (i only go to see my friends and wear pretty outfits), but academic validation is a real disease and unfortunately, i am a victim… which means when everyone else is revising, i too feel that i have to revise. and it paid off!! because my predicted grades are A*BB!! whoohoooooooooooooo!!! all of the revision tips and everything i said about doing work in school actually works, i promise you!! even if you feel like you aren’t good enough, or multiple people are belittling you, just keep going and maybe you’ll turn out like me, a doll with a good grade sheet!!

i’m totally motivated to start a bimbo brainz series!! what do you think??

xoxo, wonda

♡ 💝 》 These are some of the YouTube channels that I watch the most while studying

💞 》Some of these channels also have videos on A Levels, and have videos on all exam boards

••••••••••• To be honest, I like Cognito the most, as they have these sort of animated videos, and the videos are just super easy to understand.

Amoeba Sisters is amazing, and Freesciencelessons is literally a lifesaver (except for the blue background he uses in his videos which just annoys me for no reason)

I really can’t tell how amazing both @sparknotes_ and Mr Bruff are. They have really easy summaries and explanations on books. Mr Bruff also has these videos on writing letters, essays and etc

The Crash Course has videos on like all of the subjects, and the videos are very easy to understand

The GCSE Maths Tutor’s videos are also lifesaving, as he explains everything in a way that is easy for the students to understand

For Atomi, you have to pay to watch more videos, so it is kind of a downside, but their videos are really nice anyways

This past week has been a blur. Last ever week at school, sleeping in the library due to complete exhaustion, emotions, graduation, tears, nerves, everything that comes with the stress of leaving school behind and starting exams in 2 fucking days lol. 

Yesterday at my graduation my mum gave me a “survival pack” for exams full of yummy nibbles, 2 lamy pens, a beautiful journal and some Wild Tiger Eucalyptus balm to help me sleep. I feel like I don’t deserve any of it and it was so incredibly difficult to accept this gift bUT hey, I just graduated after 15 years of school. It’s well deserved. 

These past two days I haven’t done ANY revision at all but I’m okay with that. I’ve been working really hard throughout my time at school and especially the past few months so it’s not these two days that are going to make a difference. I really think resting a little and broadening your mind a little helps, you can’t sit down with your mind oversaturated and on the verge of blowing up. So what do you do instead? WRITE, READ, PLAY ON YOUR NINTENDO, TAKE A BATH, GO FOR A WALK, OVEREAT, SMILE, TALK TO PEOPLE! :) 

Anyway here’s my schedule for the upcoming 2 months : 

-May 7 : Literature written (3hr) 

-May 8 : Maths written (4hrs) 

-May 9 : History written (3hrs) 

-May 15 : Biology written (4hrs) 

-May 22 : Physics written (4hrs) 

-May 7 : Maths oral (30 mins) 

-May 11 : Physics oral and practical (30 mins) 

-May 14 : Biology oral (30 mins) 

Statistics is literally the only subject I’ve never got anything less than a high Merit before. As expected, I knew I was going to get an E for my Probability Concepts external after doing lots of revision and practice. In addition to the efforts in the internals with the practice with the externals, it all adds up to an Excellence Endorsement in Level 3 Statistics.

Internals

In the written assignments, detailed elaboration, linkage to research and context is what gives you an Excellence grade. Always back your arguments with relevant research sites instead of keeping it less detailed.

Also, Our teacher gave us 4 booklets for each written assignments (internals). Link to where the booklets actually came from: Click here. They guide really well and show you what parts you need to show in the assessment, etc. It's mostly worth an Achieved, but if you want higher grade, analyze the marking schedule and highlight key words of the criteria and ask your teachers if you don't understand. Also do as much practice as you can and get regular feedbacks from your teacher. 

Externals

Similarly to the external(s), learn as much content as possible then do practice questions / past exam papers as many as you can, and also mark your progress, get feedbacks from your teacher, and pick up stuff along the way that you still need to know. 

Time for some throwback thursday here (LOL) - looking back at how I also got an E in the Probability Concepts mock: Click here

Back to the present, the most common Excellence questions that are likely to come out in P(concepts) exam are; relative risk, conditional probability (more than 1 likely), assuming independence, determining/discussing difference/outcomes between experimental or theoretical probability, etc.
