Too Late? :/

    Hello :)

    So theres around 10 weeks left, an having promised myself I would start studying after making out a lovely study plan.. it still hasn't started like I planned it would.

    The orals are coming up in the next 2 weeks, I'm moderately prepared for them, an should have them sorted by this weekend.

    With little study I ended up with 390 in the mocks. I need 500-510 in the real thing. I'm doing all honours, with the intention of just passing Honours French.

    My question is, is it too late to hit 500/510?? :/

    well you obviously believe and know that you can do it if your aiming for over 500...and tbh it is doable if u work really hard i say...especially if you are naturally brainy:)
    if you work it out if u get a b1 in all your subjects,seeing your doing all honours,thats a total of 515 points i think anyways :)
    all i have to say is just really put your head down and work really hard especially during easter hols :) but just think about how disappointed you would be not to get the points you want? and possible having to repeat...it would be horrible!!
    its what i hope will work for me....as i need an extra 120/150 points compared to mocks......

    your orals arnt for another two weeks?:eek: is that not really late??:confused:

    Oh no like my irish is next wednesday and french is the following week, but I've enough time to sort out my irish I think. And I'm not too bothered with french but i'l put in a good effort anyways for it! :)
    well english is my weakest of all 6 subjects I'm counting, so only really aiming for a B3 in that, the rest I think I'm well able to get B1/2s in, an hopefully I can hit an A in biology/economics if I work at em.. I know what ye mean, whatever happens I won't repeat anyways, just couldnt do it!! :L I think I have the brains, just hope I haven't left it too late thats all.. the thoughts of not getting what I want on the day of the results will give me motivation hopefully!
