Welcome to the 200-Day Challenge!
This is a challenge to thrive in the last 200 days before your first exam. We start on 19 October at 9am.
This challenge is a challenge against yourself – no one else is playing for the grade 9 with you when you are sitting at that exam desk about to take your exam. Your skill level determines your outcome, and nothing else.
If you do everything in the challenge, you will have seen 85% of the questions in your science papers before you sit them and will have the best chance at grade 9 (85% is a grade 9).
If you do just some of the challenge, you will have seen some of your science paper questions before you sit the papers, and even that will put you ahead of many others in your year group.
But remember – what you do, needs to be your choice and needs to be within your time management skills.
Not everyone can do everything, and, in the end, what we all do is what determines our final grades.
Not everyone can attain the grade 9. But if you decide that you will get that grade 9 and you stick to the challenge set for you (as many of my students have done in the past) – you have the best chance of getting to that grade 9.
Additionally – this is not any form of guarantee. At the end of the day, this about you, because YOU hold the pen in your exam, and what YOU have done in these 200 days will be what you have in your head with you to help you in that room on that day.
Your grade is entirely up to you. You need to decide what you can and can’t do.
There are only 3 rules:
1. We do things properly and to the best of our ability.
2. We never let a Sunday pass without finishing all that is there from the previous week.
3. Memorise your “list of things to memorise” regularly.
