Call me Galen the way I do my exam about medieval medicine
(I have 300 + mistakes)
im js so tired, these mocks are killing me, I can't do this anymore. I'm a fucking teenager why are they making my life depend on some tests I do in highschool? I fucking hate this.
just heard someone say "revision is just doubting you knowledge" and i cant stop thinking abt it
Today is the first day of my GCSES!
IM GONNA FAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIL PLEASE GIMMIE REASSURANCE!
Reminder: look closely at the type of clay your buying before your part with your hard earned cash
gcses are such a stressful time for what, it's not like they totally depend on the next two years of what i choose to study or what college i get into or anything...
Theorem: Take a circle, the area of this circle is the same as area of a right triangle that has one leg equal to the radius and one leg equal to the circumference of the circle..
A long time ago in a faraway land people led simple lives by the means of agriculture. There was plenty of food to eat and to be merry. They had roofs on their head and fresh river water flowing nearby. Life seemed perfect but it was not. Every year when the rains 🌂 began, the river nearby would flood into the village and destroy their lands and homes. The people in the village would move to a nearby village for shelter with their cattle. When the rain stopped they used to come back and each time they came back they found their place in destruction. Their houses had to be rebuilt and their lands had to be outlined again. Fights were a common scene on how the outline was before the water washed it away. So the concept of the area came to maintain peace.
Finding areas of lands made with straight lines was easy but how to find the area of a land that is a curve ?
Firstly instead of taking a land made up of crazy curves let's take a land made up of the simplest curve, the circle.Draw a circle and fill in its area. Then divide it into large equal parts and arrange them in a rectangle.
It's not yet a perfect rectangle.So divide the circle in parts and try arranging these sections into a rectangle.You'll get a thing that starts looking like rectangle.
Now as you divide the circle more and more and try to arrange those parts you'll get a more nice rectangle. This more and more is nothing but the concept of limits in calculus.
So the area of the circle is the area of the rectangle.The area of the rectangle is Base×Height. Here the height of the rectangle is the radius of the circle and Base is equal to twice the area of the circle. So cut up the rectangle diagonally and you'll get a right-angled triangle with a Base as the radius of the circle and height as the circumference of a circle.
The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde
Currently studying this in Year 11 for my English Literature GCSE exam.
got thoughtful about opinions on bad books so here’s an inverse: what’s a book you had to read for school that you actually enjoyed/have grown to like? mine is Lord of the Flies
GCSE exam time...to ask how I feel, have this image
Wow...I can't believe it.
I've finished my exams and I'm now done with high school. I'm so happy it's done but I will miss all of the teachers I met along the way.
Also today a teacher gave me a plushie of my character, Ballora Boo as a leaver's gift and I absolutely love it.
a (very rare) math/science post.
hey! so i'm a british student but you'll see me putting things in brackets to help clarify things for my non british readers. so i did my GCSEs (i think the american equivalent is SATs?) back in may and june and one thing about me during my last year of school is i was in some deep shit. so i didn't really do that well. I got a bunch of 6s (B+s) and7 (A) in eng lit. i found i was couple marks off of a grade 7 (A ) in almost all my subjects including math and science. now i can deal with a B in art and a B in sociology because I'm doing them for A levels ( google tells me the americn equivalent is AP examinations) so doing well in them means that my gcse grade will be dismissed since i did better at A level today i asked my math teacher if there was any way i could resit and he cut me the following deal: if i resat my exams in either november or june of next year and got a better grade then he'd cover the fees and same goes for science. now, i just started sixth form/college so i'd have to learn in my own time somehow. i don't have anyone to teach me and i can't afford tutoring but i was offered to sit in the back of lessons during my free period every tuesday and that afterschool i can ask whatever available teacher for help for anything i really really can't teach myself should i go for it? please interact and tell me what you think.
a post about NCS at 00:05am
Monday 25 July 2022 i know when you use 24 hour time format you aren't supposed to specify am or pm but idk i can't say the time without it. it feels like there's something missing i am going on my residential trip for NCS in less than 8 and a half hours, and as a brown girl with strict parents that's exciting
i've scoured tiktok and i'm kinda scared ngl, why is it being described as love island?!?!?! that's like the worst thing you could say. (to any love island fanatics, i do apologise if this is insulting, i have in fact seen one clip of the show in which the islanders seriously discuss how lizard people in suits run the world and immediately noped out and never touched it again) anywaysss my friend kota said it was pretty cool, i'm kinda disappointed because she's not going to be there with me (we signed up with the intention of it being our last summer before we go to different colleges and likely never see eachother again) but oh well. i'm going to be forced to make new friends and do sports. i'm going to scour twitter and tumblr for posts about NCS and then go to sleep see you in five days! Amimi
exam season is in less than 100 days , mocks are soon (and i’m fucking screwed)
21:05 - Wednesday 16th February
SOOO IM GONE. - french mock tommorow, i’ll likely do foundation french (which i’m not too bothered about - makes sense since i can barely speak my own language let alone learn another one) je ne suis pas parle francais
- mock exams on the first week of March - that includes every subject, HOPEFULLY, i can do further maths and maths and do them well.
- ENGLISH IS A MESS. i haven’t even STARTED macbeth and i need to cover it in a week and a half in time for the literature mock - holy shit don’t even get me started on english language - story writing can suck a dick, i’d be the sickest damn fantasy author ever to the point i’d boil my spaghetti in JK Rollings tears BUT EDUQAS REQUIREMENTS ARE THE MOST IMAGINATION LIMITING THING - it’s literally like non-magical harry potter went to a public school. - math, math, MATH - so i got dropped from set one recently, but i was given the chance of a two week trial and if i did good i’d move back up, ends in two days so wish me luck! haven’t posted lately due to being real busy but i thought i’d give you all a lil study update until next time Amimi

study/diary post
general - motivation is something i’m really lacking, mock exams for sociology and french are in jan starting the week of jan 17th - i’m also expected to prepare myself and write applications and such for mock interviews with real employers. it’s weird because i don’t feel old enough to be doing these things, i’m not sure if that’s because of covid or if it’s due to other reasons. times passing awfully fast but slow at the same time?
english - i need to start going through macbeth which has already proven to be a challenge, shakespeare really isn’t my forte - language is something i’m really struggling on too - when it comes to timing and reading questions properly and not panicking - a christmas carol, lord of the flies and macbeth are the three books that will be covered in the literature exam - i hope i’ll be able to go through macbeth and completely memorise all three by march
wish me luck!
au revoir pour le moment ~Amimi

Day 1 - Introduce yourself and tell us what you study!
Hi! I’m Maddie and I’m currently studying Psychology, English Language and Chemistry in Sixth Form (year 12) ☺️✨🦋
17.9.2020 🍓
Chemistry is so hard!! I’m really having to put in extra time in order to understand everything... still! English language is super fun and I love studying the use of language in persuasive text ☺️✨
10.9.20
Psychology is so interesting 😍 I’m so glad I chose it, I’ve been leaarning so much! I got to go on a lovely walk the other day so enjoy a photo I took ☺️✨
🎧 I need to be alone - Girl in red
30.8.2020 🍉
Working on my EPQ ☺️ I’m ordering some new stationary today and I’m really looking forward to it, does anyone have suggestions? ✨🍋
I got GCSE results today!
I was so happy with them, especially after all the stress with the predicted grades ☺️✨💕
Day 72/100 days of productivity ☕️🌿
Today wasn’t great but I still got a lot done! I finally did some writing that I’ve been putting off but the deadline is in a few days and I’m not sure if I’m going to finish in time... it’s really annoying because I really didn’t mean to procrastinate this long :/
21st July - What is the best vacation you have ever been on? (note: does not have to have been during summer)
Ah, October a couple of years ago we went to America and it was amazing, we went to Disneyland and saw my aunts and uncles that live there. There were so many amazing coffee shops and I tried a cake shake which was literally a milkshake blended with a cupcake 🧁 I really enjoyed myself then 💫✨
Day 72/100 days of productivity 🌿🦋✨
Today was okay :) I was feeling super run down so I didn’t get as much done as I’d have liked to but I still accomplished lots from my to do list! I’m going to go to bed early and get up at seven tomorrow in order to get some extra stuff done ☺️
18th July - What do you usually do during the summer?
Well, normally I sleep until noon and do absolutely nothing except eat so I’m hoping to make this summer the exception! I’d really like to be productive and active this summer instead of wasting it away sitting on the sofa. I think I’m doing alright so far! ☺️🌿
Day 71/100 days of productivity ☕️🌙
Today went well! I met up with my friend at the park and I had a really great time. I also tidied my room, worked out and overall had a really productive day. So far I’ve stuck with my new bullet journal and I’m super proud of it, even if it is quite a simple design. ☺️💫
17th July - What is the most important task that you need to complete this summer?
I think it’ll be preparing for sixth form! Normally we’d have had an introductory week at the end of term but due to corona we’ve been left to ourselves aha, so this summer I’ll be getting everything ready and double checking I have everything I need! ☺️💫
Good Morning! I hope everyone’s day is lovely today ☺️☕️✨
Day 70/100 days of productivity ☕️🌙
Finally committed to a paper bullet journal! It looks pretty good so far and I’m super proud! It’s really therapeutic to fill out. I also got most of my jobs done today! There were a few I missed but I’ll get them finished tomorrow ☺️✨☕️
14th July - Have your plans changed at all because of the pandemic?
Yep! I was supposed to do GCSEs this year but those have been forgotten :/ it’s nice to not do exams but it feels kind of anticlimactic and a bit like the work I did for the last two years DIDNT end up being used properly. However! It did mean I got to relax on my birthday instead of revising, every cloud ⛅️ ☺️✨☕️
Day 69/100 days of productivity 🌿🦋
Today went well! I got a ton of stuff done and was really pleased with myself ☺️ I kind of overslept this morning but not by much so I wasnt too thrown off ☺️✨🌿
13th July - What are your plans for this summer?
There’s still a chance we could go on holiday! We booked ours for the very end of August so it’s still possible as long as we take correct procedures. I’ll also try to meet up with friends and get some back to school shopping done ☺️✨
68/100 days of productivity ✨🌿
Had a great day today! I got loads done and I started my bullet journal again! I decided to do it electronically so I didn’t have to spend a lot on getting a new journal / fresh pens / etc. Have you guys got any favourite inspo blogs you love? 🌿✨
67/100 days of productivity 💫🥥
Today was good! I tidied my room, worked out and went mini golfing! I also got through loads of my book (it’s so long but the writing is amazing!) 🍋🌿 I’m thinking of starting my bullet journal again, what do you think? 🍯
66/100 days of productivity 🥥🍋
Today was good! I feel super tired but I got through my to do list and sent a few emails. I’ve been toning down how much I do every day more recently since it’s now the summer and I want to relax, even if we didn’t have the exams we still worked super hard these past two years and it’s nice to not have to deal with any more of that! Have you guys met up with any of your friends in person yet?
66/100 days of productivity 💦⚡️
Today went well! I got through everything on my list and had a lovely morning. I’m making more progress with my book! It’s so long but the writing is amazing so it’s worth it ☺️. How are you guys doing today?
Day 65/100 days of productivity 🌙🌸
Ah, picture on the left is one I took in Mallorca. It was so pretty I saw it and felt I had to post it ☺️. Today I did okay! I’ve been eating healthy and I got through way more of my book. I also flicked through old notes and pre alevel notes in order to refresh myself ☺️✨🍃
