When I took my GCSE chemistry many years ago (I got a C) I found the foundation paper very difficult (it was all applied chemistry and I just wasn't expecting this !!) The higher paper however was quite easy lol I struggled with basic chemistry but found the more advanced stuff easier. Go figure ??!!
hey! it's probably different for every specification (i did CIE IGCSE) but for the practical paper acids and bases and separation techniques always came up for us. organic chemistry is always a big one in long answers and also the one with chemical processes e.g. electrolysis, contact process etc.
if you didn't know, there's an advanced information from most exam boards detailing which parts of the specification will and will not be on the test (mainly useful for science). You can find it if you search on your exam board website.
@@aashimakeswani I'm doing AQA and what I do is type advanced information for biology, physics chemistry etc... and it's shows me what's going to be in the test and what's not. This is because of covid. But I'm not sure if it's the same for ur exam board ,but try doing that.
Heyy! The syllabus has changed for the year 2023 and it seems like they have added a few new topics T T They also might've changed the question patterns a little. Do you have any tips on how to prepare for it? Thank youuu
Same bro i am gonna take my o level and they have changed syllabus so one thing i wanna tell u is that print learning objectives and study it or if you are goinb to take Cambridge assessments as well so i can recommend u some very good books according to new syllabus available in pdf!
If youre taking oct/nov them 100% solve past papers for m/j my exam is in a month amd im Low key panicking but its ok!! We can do it and also the topics that are added just require a little bit of memorization and understanding im sure it isnt that hard 🇺🇸😃😃

@@azebarayamakeupartest9032 , try not to pressure or stress yourself out too much as much as that is easier said than done , u still have time and I'm assuming its easter holidays for you right now?

U guys shouldn't worry about gcse this much haha. I clicked on this thinking it was A level and didn't even realize when she said GCSE. Anyways I got my 9 with an hour of studying the day OF the exam, it's not hard at all. A level is a completely different story 😭.

Write my own summary notes based on textbook, teacher's notes (sometimes, because many times the teacher's notes aren't efficient), AND MOST VITALLY use model answers (from mark schemes) to write the summary notes. 5.

Also, remembering a certain song I listened to while studying automatically pre loaded the information I grasped in my head. My personal recommendation is 'The girl next door'.

Hi Sarah! In all of your videos, you keep saying that there are specific topics in each subject that come up in exams often. could you please make a video about those topics, per subject? or you could just tell me those topics? thank you
I don't want to mislead you guys since I did CIE IGCSE for all my sciences!! My concern is that the topics that come up most frequently will be different for each specification (i.e. AQA, Edexcel, OCR etc.)

Thanks for these tips. Actually worried bout chemistry since I always get 7 when doing past papers. Gonna start my exams tomorrow with bio. Watched your bio vids already and have been studying accordingly. My teacher for bio isn't exactly available and I feel like asking my old teacher wouldn't be appropriate so I had to really look at the book carefully. I'm taking Oxford so it's kinda hard to find some topics for bio in UA-cam.

Hello!! I have a question : do you think yr 11s right now should be doing past papers or can they be finishing their revision and then start? PLEASE BESTOW UR MUCH NEEDED WISDOM AND ADVICE !! Anyone and everyone. Help.
I think you should first try to complete a few past papers and if you have gotten any of the questions incorrect then go over those topics
100% please do past papers now! Fill in the knowledge gaps as you go along!
THANKS guys!!! 😊🥺Hope and I bet you guy will do beyond amazing in ur exams!!! Good luck!
Thanks for these tips. Actually worried bout chemistry since I always get 7 when doing past papers. Gonna start my exams tomorrow with bio. Watched your bio vids already and have been studying accordingly. My teacher for bio isn't exactly available and I feel like asking my old teacher wouldn't be appropriate so I had to really look at the book carefully. I'm taking Oxford so it's kinda hard to find some topics for bio in UA-cam.
Your videos are helpful and motivating hopefully I'll be able to come back say I did it ...thanks!!!
i'm sure you will!!!!
hii, can you tell me what topics were the ones that came out consistently in the past year papers !! thank youuu
She already told that in an above comment. Scroll and u'll find it
Nice!! Ty for the help!!♡
GCSE biology?
If I'm not able to print out many past papers is just writing the answers on paper and looking at an online paper okay?
Yes, u can write them down on a paper and check the answers through the mark scheme
