Also two 8s on two of my science exams but I'm not sure which ones.... I'm getting my proper results in a couple of weeks and I can tell you what past papers there were... Also I think I did AQA papers.

    In my school, we take “blurting” very seriously but we actually call it “retrieval practice”. when you write everything down that you know without your notes, essentially you are retrieving the information from your short term memory into your long term memory. it’s a very effective revision strategy and I’m glad you mentioned it. also, thank you so much for the amazing tips! loved the video:)

    1. Understand the question+ what it requires of you.
    2. Stay away from taught structures such as P.E.E. Let you analysis include lexical fields, symbolic meaning, literal meaning, words + connotations and ALWAYS a language device.
    3. Make a unique, out of the box point.

      As I said in the video, you need to give yourself time restraints. Once you finish this time, finish the sentence and move on. It's better to at least get some marks on a question rather than 0 - that reduces your chances of getting a grade 9 drastically.

      Had to split this up into parts: part 1 :)
      I’m taking RE and I've gotten an 8- or an 8 on every mock and assessment so far. There are certain ways to structure your paragraphs which will ensure you have given enough info to get all the marks.
      First there is PEPE which is Point - Explain - Point - Explain and it is for the 4 mark question, basically you make a point and then back it up with an explanation, its best to include a religious teaching or an attitude in the explanation as it makes it flow better. And you repeat this once so your answer looks like, Point - Explain - Point - Explain, but make sure the second point is quite different from the first.
      e.g "Give 2 contrasting Christian viewpoint on abortion"
      P - [Some Christians would be against abortion because once of the ten commandments is "Do not kill"]
      E - [As abortion is the termination of the foetus it can be seen as murder and would go against "Do not kill"]
      P - [Some Christians would be accepting of abortion if the pregnancy endangers the health of the mother]
      E - [Pregnancy can occasionally lead to the death of the woman, as Christians believe God loves all individuals, abortion may be considered to spare god from the suffering]

    Great video , Im currently struggling with Romeo and Juliet due to the unfamiliarity of it . A lot of people tend to do Macbeth so there is barely any high grade analysis on youtube . On top of that , my exam board for English literature is Edexcel which does not help . A lot of people do AQA and so there is a difference between the style of questions and how to answer them , I cant even find any exemplar answers for edexcel and it gets really frustrating .

      this is my strongest subject, for programming you should watch videos on a high level programming laguage, for example "Python tutorial"on youtube is an example, those types of videos are made for people who want jobs in programming so it goes in deeper skill, you are not required t have that kind of knowledge but it made me being able to produce pseudocode so easily, to practice your prgroramming skills use codewars this is the most important one since programming is least about theory

    • @chaska8144
      @chaska8144 2 роки тому +3

      For resources in CS I got you as well, most of this for theory so paper 1:
      Seneca learning
      MrBrownCS (UA-cam)
      Craig n Dave
      A textbook, one i recommend is the CGP one
      programming: Python tutorial videos on youtube and practice is key to get better at programming so use codewars, or even leetcode (leetcode is designed for people who are going to take interviews in jobs requiring programming, so it has many practical questions)
