Week 13

This week marks the end to my PDP weekly reports. After folowing last weeks post where I said I decided to do revision I chose to revise Business areas I struggled in. I focused on revising "Motivation Theories" as I found I struggled in this aspect of the exam papers I did. I have also done revision for Media where I revised "Camera Shots", as I thought that was the area which was not as strong as the others. As I have done this revision next week I am going to go back to completing coursework for Mr Reilly, as I don't want to become far behind in the coursework.

Week 12

After getting my C in last weeks Business mock exam I decided to do a bit more revision on the areas I struggled with. Since I have done the tests I can see which areas of the test are marked wrong and begin revision on those areas, which is useful for identifying areas which are worse than others. This week I have mainly been focusing on revision for Media, Business and History as I spent the last week completing M3 for Mr Reilly therefore not leaving much time for revision. I am now finding the balance between revision for exams and coursework.

Week 11

Following last weeks post about Business studies I have completed another past paper in preparation of my upcoming Business exam in June. The paper was marked and I got a C, which was lower than my previous B I had. I believe this lower grade was because I had timed myself properly instead of the last time where I may have had longer than the ordinary time limit. In regards to IT I have now completed M3 for Mr Reilly and done a small amount of work for Mr Allen's Unit 1. With the revision I have been doing I have found it difficult to manage the revision with the coursework I have for IT.

Week 10

 This week I received my results from the Business past paper I had completed a couple of weeks ago. I got a B which I was really happy with as my target grade is a D, however I do believe this high grade may have been due to me having a slightly longer time to complete the past paper (The test is 1 hour and 30 minutes long). With this factor in mind my future past papers need to be timed in order to prepare myself for the exams. In IT I still have M3, D1 and D2 to complete and still a lot of work for Unit 1. The reason I haven't been completing much work in these areas is due to the exam preparation for other subjects I have been doing. I feel that once exams are out of the way I can get round to finishing these tasks without the pressure of upcoming exams.
