Glad to hear you thought so! I’ve got a day in exam season where I did a bit of filming so I’ll get my dulcet tones over the top of that and put it up this weekend if I get my act together

@@LewisSeal haha can't wait ;)

Most noticable stuff for me was at memory attention and I became more skeptical

Who the heck takes multiple professional IQ tests? These things cost up to Hundreds of Dollars per Test and take 4 hours to do at max concentration and also usually about a Year to schedule... The fact that you are talking about them like with high scores makes me theorize that you don't actually take real IQ tests but some Internet fake stuff. Just so you know. If it's anywhere on the Internet it's entirely fake. That being said even if you do take multiple real ones (for whatever weird reason) it can fluctuate quite a bit. It's normal that your IQ changes. To make out a correlation with Chess based on that, disregarding every thing else in your Life + your Mental development (as you are likely young I imagine) is quite useless. Difference between Correlation and Causality. You cannot just assume it's chess cuz you want to.

Crease. It does feel like that most of the time, especially when you go on a hefty losing streak

@@LewisSeal yes, of course, it is very important that we treat chess only and only as a hobby and not to spend too much valuable time on it. Reaching an IM or GM level is neither possible nor justifiable as most GMs struggle to make enough money from chess to buy bread! Of course, if we are in the top 50 chess players in the world we can win enough prizes from tournaments to survive but reaching top 50 is impossible unless we start chess from the age of 5 and practice hours everyday with regular good coaching and enough number of regular tournaments!

that's cold. Yeah i guess it does fly up when you start playing consistently and a lot of the other stuff only starts happening when you've played longer term

Cheers mate :)

Yeah sauce I think you're right in saying that the memorisation is taking over, that's what some of the top players are even saying banging on about the game isn't what it used to be- game's gone. That being said I do think it's telling that if you can utilise that time when someone is new to the game like they did when the students did from the study, then they haven't got to the stage when they're memorising everything but still trying to solve it all

​@@LewisSeal Well even "solving" is almost exclusively pattern recognition. It makes no difference as far as I am aware if you have specifically memorized the Move or memorized the concept by seeing it a hundred times. And there is no move possible in chess which you wouldn't find after having seen the concept a hundred times. So where is the Open space to get Intelligence into this? I don't see it.

Upload schedule of 3 videos every 100 days you know how it is

The greatest upload schedule on UA-cam strikes again

For real.🍵

Fake it til you make it my friend! I've managed to blag it so far (apparently)...

it is harder as an international student. but i think they already know that, think about what you bring to the table

Hello pal. Yazmin is right, think about why they should invest in you, what is unique to you that no one else can offer. Website i've linked here might be of interest to you, it's got a load of tabs on the side that gives some good information and an email with people to give you specialist advice. Be sure to check it out! www.undergraduate.study.cam.ac.uk/international-students

If you don’t mind me asking what did you get in your GCSEs I am scared my grades are not competitive enough ☹️

@@haw4ii96 i moved from hong kong to the uk in year 12 so i didn’t do gcses

@@haw4ii96 but i think your predicted a level grades and performance in admissions tests and interviews matter quite a lot too

so don’t worry

@@ticksunbs4944 thanks so much 🙏

Yeah that's a cracking idea matey. I'm currently getting destroyed by exams but once I come out the other side I'll definitely do something like that in time for summer! Good news for you is that you can enjoy that summer and don't need to do all that much preparation :)

"First time was so nice, I had to do it twice". But literally had to

Thank you, I'll be sure to continue putting in minimal enthusiasm..!

Is that a compliment or have you just absolutely violated me

@@LewisSeal neutral observation, i think?

With only a month left I think it might need to be a bit of grind I'm afraid. Can certainly bump up the grades though if you do throw a load of effort in and employ the right strategies. I've said to a few people that if you go for all 8s and 9s and go from 6s and 7s to 7s and 8s then you've made a huge improvement anyway!

I found that they did help at A level but needs a hell of a lot more focus at A level because it's much easier to pinpoint weaknesses at GCSE than it is at A level I think... and even easier to get complacent!

Cheers matey, if only I put this much work into my actual degree

Glad to hear pal! I'll see if I can film some more :)

And ,Do you have any ideas on how to plan the time revising. for all the subjects ? I think despite , knowing most of the content. it's hard to keep a balance between everything . It would be great have any advice from you

I'm happy to hear it's made some sort of an impact! In terms of balancing everything, I think the point I'm making with time allocation is to not... balance everything. Some subjects you will find easier than others, even if not subjects there will at least be certain modules that you're much better at. As a result you should be able to dedicate more of your time to the stuff you fin really tricky. If you're really good at biology and it comes naturally but find Geography really tricky, then rather than doing 2 hours of revision for each of them, you might be better off doing 3 hours of Geography and only 1 hour of Geography- this will be a better use of your time. Hope that helps :)

Wow, Thank you so much, it really helps, It's always that feeling of not doing enough whilst revising, luckily tips like this makes exams feel less stressful

So I had the compulsory ones at my school (Maths, English Lang and Lit, Triple Science) then I chose Spanish, Econ, History, Geography, and Religious Studies. Then because they thought I needed to become more of a neek I had to do further maths to top it all off. AQA were the bane of my existence.

@@LewisSeal I do geography and econ too. Could you please give any tips to get a 9 in econ ? I feel like it’s more commonly taken for A level, so there aren’t many videos on how to improve on it. Thanks so much!!

Econ was all in the evaluation for me, I thought the points themselves were actually quite repetitive (so try and find analytical points that are quite common across topics so there's less to learn). For the evaluation (which I found harder) I think your best just repeating essay plans. You can get so many more essay plans done in the time it would take you to actually write the essay that it seems like a better use of your time. If you can nail essay plans then the essays themselves are just about fleshing it out and gaslighting the marker to think you're some next level academic- that's what I did anyway!

@@LewisSealDo you have any tips for Geography?

Geography is an interesting one. I think you've got to approach it on layers of importance. Get all the basic stuff down first like the key processes to the point where you would be comfortable giving a top 4-6 mark answer. Then you can start adding some of the niche layers from case studies into answers. It's easy to lose the forest from the trees in Geography because of how much information there is, but once you nail all the basic processes and facts, then you can go into more details on the case studies so you can take it to an 8 or 9 level

Hello Jordan mate. English language is a muggy subject, I found that what worked best for me was coming up with plans for essays rather than actually doing them. So if you get up an extract from a past paper, time yourself and see how quickly you can come up with ideas for it because the essay itself is just pulling that all together. I found writing essays was a bit of a waste of time, I could try doing 4 or 5 essay plans to different questions in the same time it took me to write one whole essay, then see what the teachers thought about the plans and whether they were any good or just absolute waffle. Felt like a better use of my time

Hahaha glad to hear you liked it, I can certainly see if I can film a few more bits during the day, although my life has somehow managed to become even duller lately!

Glad to hear it was helpful, hopefully it does you a few favours :)

Mostly definitely, you're already doing well so you just need that push

The sky is the limit my friend, keep plugging away and you can get it. It's one of those things where if you really give it you're all to get all 9s, even if you don't quite get it you'll still be looking at 7s, 8s and 9s which are superb results anyway!

easily, dont feel like you need to start revising 4 hours a day yet either

Cheers matey, glad you’re enjoying it. If there’s anything you want to see I. Particular lmk, otherwise I’ve got a few bits and bobs lined up for the next few weeks :)

@@LewisSeal do book reccomendations and advice to high schoolers and do more university things

Given how close you are I definitely think you can. As much as all 9s would be great though, really, if you can bump that 7 up then you're laughing- all 8s and 9s would be superb, getting all 9s is more for vanity. Something to bear in mind as well, if you put in a shift over the next few months, then you can put your feet up for about 3 months doing nothing. Already great level to be working at though pal, keep it up- I'd love to hear how mocks and the real things go! Good luck bud :)

@@LewisSeal Thanks for the advice , totally agree with you about the 8s and 9s part , will let you know about results

I hope you get the grades you want, I believe in you :)

Glad to hear matey! 3 months is plenty of time, good luck pal :)

Yeah same here thx

You got this🙌🏻

Thanks man :) I think rn I like the idea of specialising in some area of wildlife. I think conservation / zoo work would be really interesting though. Are you looking to apply for vet med then?!

@@LewisSeal Yes, hopefully!

Cheers Joe, that’s really nice to hear mate! I will remember you good Sir🫡

Glad you think so!

Cheers pal!

Cheers for that one, maybe I should just use one of them ai voices from now on

Hahaha, it’s always nice to make a change, chicken sending me into overdraft > alcohol sending me into overdraft

Cheers matey I'll get them out every week on Sunday :)

I’ll keep them coming. Maybe when my videos actually become good the algorithm will help hahaha

Thanks for watching mate. I know a couple of people that do maths, and despite getting As and A*s from what I gather they found it to be a pretty big step up from A levels. I've seen some people spend ages on just a few questions but they seem to have enjoyed it, sounds like they already view maths in a whole other way. Hopefully that helps, if not lmk. Good luck!

Cheers Joshua pal, appreciate you watching my first stuff!

Hallway monitor is a serious role I’ll have you know

Cheers matey, glad to hear it wasn’t a waste of time
