Moving in the right direction

Yesterday I finished all the second 1/3 of the passages for each first chapter in TBR (except bio. At midnight it all looked like hieroglyphics) and I'm definitely moving in the right direction. I'm really pleased because this is the same material, so it's sticking, and even better, I can find the info in the recesses of my mind and apply it.

Chapter One (1st 1/3)          Chapter One (2nd 1/3)
 
Physics (6)                           Physics (8)
Gen Chem (9)                      Gen Chem (11)
Ochem (8)                            Ochem (10)
Bio (9)                                 TBD

And if I hadn't made stupid mistakes (like literally writing "B" when I'm staring at "C" as the right answer), then my score in all of these would be a point higher. And physics is getting better- I got a 10 on the 1st third of chapter 2. I did pretty darn well on ochem and gen chem 1001 questions, an 11 on the EK ch 1 In-Class exam, and only about 50% right on physics. That information is just not clicking with me, and I'm not sure why. I'm having trouble applying equations, theory, and deciphering the subtle text on what the problem is asking for. I need more practice there.

I am faltering on verbal, getting a 9/10 on those. That's what I got on both the tests back in the day, so I'm not making progress there. I do those right when I wake up, so maybe my brain hasn't kicked into gear yet.

This weekend is jam-packed with family activities, so I hope to finish bio, read ch 2 in gen chem, and do those 1st third. Tomorrow is supposed to be ochem ch 2 and the 1st third. Monday will be a wash, as I've got affiliate work, mandatory unemployment seminar, the gym, Jr's soccer, and THEN I can start studying.

I sincerely hope I don't run out of time before I can accomplish all I want to.
