    I'm using this purely as a resource of motivation. My mocks start this Monday and whilst looking through the papers I have realised how little I know!

    The subjects I'm doing are;
    English
    Math
    German
    Business
    Religion
    Art

    All at higher level.

    I'm aiming towards 500 points but at the moment would be lucky to get 420. I've no idea what I want to do after this year so I'm trying to keep my options open by aiming high.

    This week I've been doing a good bit of study considering the mocks start on Monday.

    This morning I got up at 10 and done maths paper one until 4pm. I'm really behind in regards to logs etc and paper one is my very first exam!

    It's 8:30 now so I think I'll write out some notes for religion to have ready for learning in the morning. It's hard to know where to start with religion. It's the first year our school is teaching it so our teacher is extremely inexperienced. She gives difficult notes as well, I find the language used very long winded.

    Right so I got my religion notes done but I am having a slight **** attack. I just realised how little I know. If i sat an exam right now I would most definitely fail! Ive had to stop studying because my brain is in a whirlwind atm.

    Tomorrow im super busy but the plan is to get up as early as possible (we will see how I feel in the morning...)

    Do a full paper one (see where my gaps are) 3hrs 30mins

    Business- Nail Unit 7 (answer 2/3 exam question) 2hrs

    Religion- Study Irish Experience by writing out notes 3hrs



    8 hrs of study..christ almighty

    It'll be worth it by June!
