Feb 8th- Feb 17th

These past two weeks have both made me smile and have made me want to hibernate for the winter. I had an incredible Valentine’s Day exploring an art museum with my boyfriend (the fruit and tree sculpture were two of my favorite exhibits) and dancing to Mama Mia. Reality hit me coming back to school, where I have had a bunch of assignments to do and three exams in the span of three days next week. To give me some serotonin, I brought part of my Squishmallow collection from home to my dorm, so let me know which of my collection you have or what ones you are itching to get your hands on! 

And always, my inbox is open for suggestions or just a quick pop in to say hello!

Where do I start...

• May 2017 - Sat my mock A Levels - got AAD (rip geography)

• July 2017 - Visited Cambridge uni on a summer school, hated every second and decided not to apply

• Feb 2018 - Got accepted in to all 5 universities (Queens Belfast, City London, Nottingham, Liverpool, Lancaster)

• June 2018 - Sat my A Levels - got ABB (yay geography!)

• September 2018 - Started Psychology BSc at Nottingham, hated it

• October 2019 - Transferred to Nursing (Adult) BSc at Nottingham, love it!

Day 17/30 -  Make a list of the grades you’d like to achieve this year (aspirational). At the same time make a list of the grades you’d be happy to achieve this year as a minimum (reasonable) - a grade or two lower in each subject say. Finally make a list of the grades that you think you are likely to get this year (predictions). Over time, try to realise that you can still do well without hitting your aspirational grades - and you don’t need to get perfect grades to be successful!

Inorganic I - 80%

Physical I - 80%

Practical Ia - 80%

Practical Ib - 80%

(I have to get 60% this year in order to secure a placement....)

Predictions

Hey guys! Here is the AP Stats masterpost that I promised. Good luck with your AP test lovelies! You can do it!

Here is the review guide that my teacher gave me

Here is the PDF of the review guide. You’re welcome

Arnold Kling has videos that explain stats (AND videos talking about entering things in your calculator… what a guy).

Here’s the formula sheet you’ll get during the test. Learn it. Live it. Love it.

Some nice notes for every chapter in a random stats book

The Barron’s practice test is nice because it mentally prepares you for the real thing

I used this cram packet and you should too

Want to practice some more multiple choice problems? Check out this Stat Trek one (not to be confused with Star Trek)

ProfRobBob is my stats inspiration. Watch his videos

Here’s an old test from 2015 that you can use to practice

Since you guys really like Barron’s stuff, here’s a link to the book

I also found this nice Princeton Review book that’s cool too

Need a PDF version of a stats textbook? Look no further

October 5th, 2020

Happy Monday everyone! I hope you had an amazing and productive weekend! Classes were canceled Thursday and Friday for my college, so I had a long weekend! I was able to relax and take time to myself to watch Criminal Minds and spend time with my friends!
