    So great to see that you are still producing content for GCSE students! The advice here from a fellow student that that has managed to navigate the madness of the GCSE year with great success is invaluable to everyone sitting their exams this year or next.
    Congratulations on a successful GCSE year and keep up the fantastic content! Best of luck with your A-Levels!
    Are you taking A-Level maths this year? 🤞🏼

      Incredible news, I’m so glad to hear that!! It’s a fantastic subject (I know.. I’m bias!)
      If there are any A-Level topics that you’d find helpful then please do reach out and let me know and I’ll do my upmost to produce some additional videos for my A-level playlist for you!
      All students out there would benefit from watching your channel and I know that some of my own students last year really took some of your advice on board and I noticed a real positive change in them so please do keep it up 👍🏼

    Glad to know that someone is feeling the same way as I am. I just started year 10 and I really try not to overwhelm myself and stress if there’s so much content to cover in all of my subjects and how I will do everything. Revision plans and timetables are probably the best way!

    Please please and please go through past papers, homework, revision and all of that stuff. Revision does not mean staring blank at the paper etc. YOU ACTUALLY NEED TO REVISE!!!!! Efficient timetables help and please get extra support like interventions/tuition if possible for an extra boost. Depending on your exam board get revision books or make flash cards watch videos etc.
    Year 11 is tough and im ngl it is hard but give it your best shot!! YOU CAN DO THIS!

    Thanks for this video, Udoka! I just entered year 11. I'm quite the "perfectionist" so I'm already getting very overwhelmed and not doing as well as I wanted in every lesson. There is also A LOT of pressure because we are the first year guaranteed to do our GCSE'S after the last two (in halls and all that). I'll be using this as a guide to get me through it!

To be honest, you really helped me become more independent and very proactive during my GCSEs and you have helped me a lot, and I'm sure there are many other students in year 10 watching your videos on regrets/mistakes. You did very well Udoka! I'm sure others will find your videos very helpful!! :)

    I just started year 11 and I’m now really trying to focus on increasing my grades (even though they aren’t bad and are generally 7+). My worst grade is in English (a 6)and I’m getting more practice questions from my teacher to improve it. I’m hoping to do a level physics,maths and psychology . I really enjoy watching your videos and they definitely have helped to motivate me and improve my grades.

      This is making me less anxious since I always stress abt my grades tbh. I'm in year 10 and I'm taking my learning a lot more srsly than when I was in Yr 7,8, and 9. Everything is getting more difficult but because I actually try to revise and try to understand the work when I go back home, I end up knowing about the topics and all of that. I just hope I get at least some grade 7s and above. My predicted grade overall is actually a grade 6 which makes sense for me but yeah the key for me is to actually remember about the topics because I know almost everything in the test papers but my anxiety gets so bad I forget everything 💀

    hello udoka! lovely video. i’m in year 11 at the moment and i really need advice. like you mentioned there is an overwhelming amount of content. i did not do much revision in year 10 and now i am really scared for mocks and actual exams. how do i manage all these subjects? i’m an average student i don’t have motivation much of the time to revise i ALWAYS procrastinate which lowers my self esteem too. people around me are quite smart whereas i even struggle to do basic maths. please suggest something that could help. thank you💗

    • @itz_ary
      @itz_ary 3 роки тому +10

      Okay so i'm not Udoka but let me suggest something and can you tell me if it works for you? So first off, ask yourself why you want to learn and pass GCSEs/IGCSEs. Write atleast 3-5 reasons. You can do more if you like. Paste these reasons somewhere you see everyday, it's something I feel really pushes up my motivation. For procrastination, i'd suggest getting a study buddy. Someone who will hold you accountable and can help you if you feel unsure about a topic(it's always better to ask teachers but sometimes classmates/friends just explain it better). Personally, studying in a public place like a library or at home somewhere around my parents usually lets me push myself the extra mile when studying because I don't want to be caught slacking. When it comes to maths, i'd say it's quite helpful when revising if you explain in words how and why certain questions are answered the way they are. Hope this helps!

      Hi X-ray hads, I am a year 12 student, and at GCSEs I got all 9s. In terms of advice, I would suggest that since you are already in year 11 and are unlikely to make very effective active recall questions/flash cards, considering you have mocks coming up, it would be seriously advisable to look into pre-made flash cards, I have heard the CGP ones are good. But please don’t be silly and start to just rely on the flash cards. First read the textbook, and understand each and every part of it, DO NOT TAKE ANY SHORT-CUTS! Then if you don’t understand even the smallest concept, write the query down and search online, post it on Quora, or ask your teachers. Once done, begin to go over your flash cards, I recommend an LCD display, it costs around £20, but on that you can scribble and erase very quickly, so begin to scribble out the answers to the flash cards onto it, and say the answers out loud, keep doing this till you are absolutely confident. If you have a topic that you are not completely confident with in terms of understanding, stand infront of a wall, and imagine that you are explaining the topic to a class, keep doing this till you are not completely confident with the topic. But please realise that understanding will not get you many high grades alone, you also need memorisation, since you need to remember key definitions and how to answer exam-questions, so also begin to look at exam papers, and it is not required for you to do them, but just begin to see how the markscheme answers the questions. Finally, please don’t worry you have this, and you can do it! Just remember when studying that after the next 2-4 years of studying your life in terms of academia will be much much better!

      i think for maths and english practice makes perfect because you can’t really be writing hella notes on it except for like context and analysing poems for english literature but i advise you watch like a maths genie video on a specific topic in maths, make a couple of notes of the example questions he does and do some yourself along with him, and then search up “(maths topic) practice questions maths genie” and do thoes and then mark them yourself and see where you went wrong.
