I had my mandarin speaking exam today. It didn't go great but I don't know if it was ok or not. I'm relieved it's over though. Tomorrow I will study cell signalling and cell structure. I need to print out past papers and make a plan on how many lectures to go through each day.

I have done one exam now - molecular biology. It didn't go very well but we shall see when the results come out. Tomorrow I have my mandarin speaking exam which I do not feel confident about. The plan is to spend all day practicing different scenarios in mandarin, memorising phrases to use and planning how to present my project.

to do:

revise all vocab

revise last 4 units

do speaking exam questions

memorise presenting project and memorise vocabulary from project

listen to example speaking exams
