      I have a question in regards to the blurting method.I was thinking that maybe I should watch a video but not make any notes, then wait 10-20 mins before I blurt what I can remember then I fill in the gaps and repeat but without watching the video until I have all the main points. Does this sound like a good strategy or does this sound too time consuming?

    Thanks for this video and the tips you gave us. it gave me an idea of what to do slightly.
    But honestly what if you came in the mid of year 10 new to the school, new to GCSE’S and don’t know what the hell is going on because you don’t know much about it or what’s it going to be about. It took me time to learn about it and now I do know it, but I feel like it’s too late to even improve cause I’m already in year 11 and my school was different I was doing IB (completely different to GCSE). I’m just finding everything so difficult and don’t know where to start? Could you please reply to this and give me some tips?
    I think I’m weak at most subjects.. like biology the marks schemes are too specific and I get most answers wrong in a test? 😭

    • @SmileWithSola
      @SmileWithSola  Рік тому +2

      Hiya, I think you should continue to learn and revise the content as it is being taught to you so you don't fall behind. However, maybe every week you can focus on a topic from year 10 that you didn't understand, make sure you make good flashcards on it and then do a 'test' at the end of week (exam questions) to make sure you understand it. Anything you don't understand even after using the mark scheme then go to the teacher and ask for help. I'm sure they will be understanding since you're new to the school. Hope this helps, good luck!

    • @saanvi8064
      @saanvi8064 Рік тому

      Thank you! I will try my best. I think this would be only necessary for subjects like maths, science’s, english, computer science etc. (also I’m finding difficulties on computer science could you do a video on that?) I have mocks on November 28th and I think I won’t do so well in computer science I have never done it. So I’m still at basics while others in my class are a bit ahead? Rn I need to start everything from the beginning! It’s so stressful? How did you cope? For example I’m completely unsure of programming?

      @@saanvi8064 I got 12 9s at GCSE last year so I feel a little bit qualified to help you here :) first I'd say some subjects, like computer science, are not as important as others, especially if you've never done them before! focus on maths, english and sciences (and any other subjects you love) because they will be the ones employers will look at/you might carry on to college/sixth form. focus on getting the basics solid - I remember my physics teacher was so rubbish I understood nothing so I re-taught myself the entire first year for my mocks, then after November I ramped up the focus on the second year content now I had a solid base. subjects are cumulative - that is, they build on what you (should) already know. in maths, for example, you can't do trigonometry if you can't divide!
      Like Sola says, go to your teachers, go to clinics/boosters if your school offers them, and focus on what's important using the methods in the video, even if it's for y10 content!

    • @SmileWithSola
      @SmileWithSola  Рік тому +24

      This sounds like just a scare tactic. I would say take it easy, see what you can do in the next few days but don't cram all night. It's not worth losing sleep over. In the grand scheme of things, mocks do not matter as much as the real exams. They're only there to see your weaknesses and to see what you should focus on before the real exam. Sure, it's nice to get a very high grade in mocks but it doesn't guarantee you getting the same in the real exam. Try your best but don't overwork yourself, you've got this!

      Hi hun, you should get work experience in a Gp practice, hospice or hospital. Also volunteer at a charity shop . Also go to medical course run by medical student. But it’s great your planning ahead but you still have a lot of time to do all this. Your main goal is to get great grades in your GSCE and Alevels

    • @SmileWithSola
      @SmileWithSola  Рік тому +1

      I would honestly have to say do as much practice as you can. I really recommend trying all of the specimen / past papers and buying the exam paper pack from CGP. Initially you will be slow but then you'll start to pick up the pace once you get used to timing. Also, once you pass a specific number of mins for one question move on, regardless of whether you finished. I talk about this more in my english video so be sure to check that out!

    Hi, how are Exam Questions effective if you dont understand the question or the topic, when going through the paper? What would you do?

    • @SmileWithSola
      @SmileWithSola  Рік тому +2

      They aren't effective if you don't understand the topic. I would recommend to be at least 70% confident in the topic before starting exam questions. You can do this through videos, exam paper walkthroughs, etc.

    Hi Sola! I am trying to do your timetable structure but I am not understanding ( I am doing 14hrs for 9 subjects). How do i distubrute my subjects? Because my 9th subject in Eng Lit and does that mean I have to do 14hrs for it????

    • @SmileWithSola
      @SmileWithSola  Рік тому

      So I basically divide the hours by the subjects to get the units. 14 / 9 = 1.5hours, so now i have 9 lots of 1.5 to work with. If I find history really easy i can assign it a 1 =1.5hours, maths really hard so a 3=4.5 hours. overall you need to make it back up to the 9 lots of 1.5. hope this makes more sense
