A hectic start to the year! It has been a whirlwind of assessments, IAs, EE, CAS besides the normal daily work. Time to pause and reflect…Take a reality check. Many expected grade levels and predicted grades are probably lower than you would have expected. Are you revising regularly (actual studying as opposed to doing homework and tasks), do you have a daily routine, are you completing daily homework practices? If not, then time to rethink your expectations. You can achieve better – but be honest with yourself. Are you planning your time effectively, are you doing the work?
There is no escaping the pressure cooker of DP. The best strategy is to accept it for what it is, plan well, give it your all. It is probably the fastest two years in your life.
THe mid term break break offers a small respite – a time to gather your strength and return renewed to the challenges ahead. Some of you will be thinking about IA plans. Completing deadlines. Balance is needed. Some work time, some play time. Use the time well.
