In sixth form I will be taking Politics, History and
English Language. I'm looking forward to learning about politics as It's
something that Interests me but I have never taken this subject before,
so I am quite nervous too.
Overall, I got 4A's, 3B's and 3C's. I am so proud of myself as I worked extremely hard and gave 110% during exam season.
Here is a break down of what I got each grade in:
I got an A in Food technology, which actually surprised me!
I found the exam pretty difficult and I actually assumed I would come
out with a B. I worked hard in food and spent a lot of time making sure
my coursework was solid. I did find it hard to revise as there was a lot
of content I needed to remember, however resources my teachers gave me
were a huge help.
I got an A in English language, which was the only subject I
resat. I did english a year early and got a B. I was super
disappointed, as I was so close to an A and it was a subject I knew I
could do well in. I was the only one in my year to do both literature
and language and I can definitely say I was stressed. I had to redo all
my coursework for language too, which I had to do in the space of a
month or so. I spent a lot of time with my teacher after school, trying
to get it done in time. I was extatic when I saw that I finally got an
A. I came out of the exam confident that I did it and I did!
I also got an A in English literature, which was a huge
surprise to me! I expected to get a B as I have to admit, I did spend a
bit more time with language. I even missed literature classes to do
language. I didn't feel as confident coming out of the literature exam,
so seeing that I got an A is so amazing! Like I said, I did both
literature and language, and without my teacher, I wouldn't have gotten
through it.
My fourth A was for ICT. I REALLY worked hard in ICT. My
coursework was picked for moderation, so you have no idea how much work,
time and effort I put into making sure it was atleast an A grade. I
spent all my spare time revising and doing mock exams. I went back and
forth with my teacher, getting her to check my work and I studied for
every mock we did. I'm so glad that I got an A and I was so excited when
I first saw it on the paper.
I got a B in science, which completely baffles me! I hated
science so much but I still tried so hard. I just didn't understand it
and I was so close to giving up. I got so many E's and D's in mocks, so I
convinced myself that I would only get a pass max. After the horrendous
physics exam, I just assumed the worst. But I managed to get a B!
That's so weird to me and i'm still in shock.
I got a B in performing arts. I would have loved to get an A
but I was still so happy with a B. I know I got an A in the practical,
so my written work must have dragged my grade down, as it was worth 60%.
Again, I spent ridiculous hours on this subject. I did one all nighter
and stayed up until 2am on my laptop, writing my evaluations. With how
much time it took up, I do wish I got the A, however I am still so so
pleased with a B grade.
My final B was from child development. Again, I was aiming
for an A in this subject, however the exam in my eyes was so tough, that
I kind of expected it. My coursework was an A*/A so I went in strong. I
really enjoyed this subject and actually didn't mind revsing for it. I
worked extremely hard and studied so much. I did so many mocks and past
papers that my bedroom floor couldn't even be seen!
I got a C in maths, which I was so chuffed with. I hated
maths and I struggled with it. I was about 5 marks away from a B, which I
was gutted about, however I was just so happy that I passed! No more
math lessons!
I got a C in french. I PASSED FRENCH! Lord knows how many
times I stressed over this subject. I really struggled with french, so I
had to work twice as hard as any other subject. Again, I did mocks, I
spent time working one on one with teachers, I used several resources. I
struggled so much that a pass was all I wanted. I really tried hard and
it paid off!
Finally, I got a C in History. Now this was the only
subject I was so annoyed at because I almost thought I garunteed an A in
that subject. I love history and worked incredibly hard at it. I
actually got full marks in atleat 3 mocks! I got an A* in my coursework
too, so either I completely messed up in the exam, or the grade
boundries were insanely high. History is one of my A-level subjects so I
really wanted to go into it confident that I could do it. I was so mad
at myself and my grade. I don't know what happened. I know some people
may think I'm exaggerating but people in my history class know how hard I
worked. For me personally, getting a C felt like not passing at all,
but hey sometimes thats the way it goes.
