@@fam3512 Oh wow! Thank you so much for bringing me back haha. They went incredibly well thank you, much better than I expected. Fingers crossed for results day :)
I'm aiming for all 9s in my GCSE, this video was really helpful too, i have a year left till my GCSEs and this is the perfect way for me to prepare myself with no stress, thx soo much! I might Edit this comment on 2022 August for my results :) And let u know, that thx to u, another person was able to reach their dream grades XD -wish me luck!
ah me too, I want to go to medical school in the future so I’m want to get all 9s, currently the summer holidays but I haven’t done anything yet, idek where to start but I’ll try going over some topics to prepare :)
don't forget to check out Barbara's GCSE English course- (+open me for bonus tips lol) www.firstratetutors.com/gcse-course Make your handwriting bigger in essay exams teehee (I did an experiment and I got better marks when my handwriting was bigger LOL)
aaaah, my gcses start on mondaaaayyyyy and omg can I just say that you AND your smile are so prettyy! and I love how positive your vibe is :D I hope you continue smiling gorgeous, your videos are so useful and helpful. Don't overwork yourself and just know you're doing amazing! take care
aw thanks for your comment!! xx and thanks for the ideas- I'll add those suggestions to the list of videos to make in the summer after a levels are over!! but for maths the main thing is to go over past papers with the mark scheme so you understand every questions and where you went wrong (also go over the same paper multiple times if you run out of papers to do!) and for biology I watched free science lessons as it goes over the whole specification and i read my cgp guide and did some papers with the mark scheme in front of me!! hope that is somewhat helpful but good luck! xx
Rosia Li thank you so much! I’m currently in year 10 ahahah, super scared if my exams are gonna get cancelled next year 😣😩 But thank you again for the tipss, I hope that you are stay safe and healthy :)) 💕
@@angelamu6109 ahh you've got this!! keep working hard (but not too hard haha, I think one of my regrets from last summer was spending too much time studying and not going out and enjoying time with friends) and im sure whatever happens you'll do great :) and you too! xx
Rosia Li omgg ur literally meee! I spend most of my time studying because idk why but i enjoy it, i enjoy figuring out the formula behind every subject. Once you do, it becomes so much easier to gain top marks. I’ve always wanted all 9s since like year 7, always a goal I’m thriving towards. But tysm, i hope that i could be just like you
tysmm. this vid was so helpful. if i want to aim for all 9’s when do you think i should start revision for gsces? is after year 11 mocks in december ok? x
You're welcome! I think just before every topic test, and little and often consistent work goes a long way, but I think I probably started working harder from december onward! (and then particularly easter!)
Hey I have 6 months left for gcse Do you think I can take all 9s? Can you give me some tips? Please. It would be really helpful. And the points you mentioned above was also really helpful
honestly active recall as i’m sure you’re probably bored of hearing by now is just so good!! and basic facts!! just knowing the basics in every subject like geography for example how many layers there in earth or science the basic practicals just to get those marks you could miss during revision
It honestly depends on where you're at right now, if you're already a grade 7 student it shouldn't take more than a few months to get up to that grade 9 for every subject, if you're a bit lower it will take some time to build up your foundation. My recommendation is doing a LOT of papers to really understand the mark scheme (and make sure you have your teacher look at the papers after you've done them for advice).
How do I revise for English language and how can I get faster? I’m always so slow on English language tests and lose so many marks because I run out of time
Hi, this video is really helpful! Quick question: for GCSEs did you mainly make paper notes or digital notes and how? Thank you for everything! ✨ Your videos have really motivated me!
Hi, super helpful video, thank you!! I'm going into Year 11 tomorrow and I've only gotten 5's in my triple science and maths mocks. Do you think it's possible to get 9's in those subjects?
I’m stressing so much for my mocks. Also I’ve alrdy wasted my time to study from September to December Because I’m too scared etc. I rlly wanna start and improve but it’s so hard for me because I can’t focus and lose concentration which makes me want to do something else instead of actually revising. I can’t seem to engage to what I have to do. Ik if I don’t start now. It’s going to be difficult and I alrdy regret not starting in September. I’m failing so many tests especially maths. And I never get the motivation to re learn something I didn’t understand in lesson. I get too tired and never bothered to do it
Hey I am a gcse student and wanted to ask some questions like did you use to study everyday? If yes then about how many hours? Plus did you also used to study in half term breaks and Christmas breaks and as I am rn in year 10 so should I study everyday or how many hours a day for top grades?? Plz reply
hi! Tbh I don't really remember how much I studied each day; I guess study smart not hard! But it doesn't really matter the number of hours its the quality, and if you're too tired then don't but also don't be lazy!
im going into year 9 in september and have done my end of year exam. Im starting to worry about mocks and gcses. Should i start revising and going over topics now or should i enjoy being in year 9?
ahhh good luck for year 9!! Please don't worry! Enjoy every year, even year 11, it's all about pacing yourself- you don't want to burn out too early! I would recommend to just revise when you feel like it but don't force it and also revise for a particular subject or topic if your teacher has set a test on it, and for end of year tests, but otherwise, work on yourself, spend time with family and friends and enjoy life!! xx
I am going in to year 11 in a week and do you guys have any revisions tips because I am struggling to focus and it's getting worse and I am hoping I can get grade 9s in all my GCSEs
okay i know everyone says this but keep your phone far away from you at all times while revising. if you can forget that people are texting you or a notification from your favourite podcast just came up. if you have a device you use for school, like a laptop or ipad, use that to go over your notes and watch courses and such. if you know that music helps you focus you can use spotify to listen for free online (you do need an account) however it does play ads, when listening to music only play a playlist you know you wont want to skip songs in because that can break your focus. Quizlet is a really good learning and revision tool. it has flashcards, a match game and other great learning tools to help you revise your notes. you can also access other peoples pre made flashcards for free if you feel that your notes from class arent good enough. lastly, make sure to go over the past gcse papers from recent years as early as possible, to keep on track with what you are learning.
I got: Further Maths: 5 Maths: 8 Eng Lit: 8 Eng Lan: 8 Biology: 9 Chemistry: 6 Physics: 7 History: 7 Geography: 7 Computer Science: 6 so far for art I have a five but idc too much about that. Excluding art, do you think I will be able to get all 8's and 9's?
Hey i just watched your Video I am from germany I am in year 10 and I would say I am an average student but do you think it is possible to improve so that I do better than average in year 11? The problem is I can't get my self to do more for school
hi, thank you for this video! i've got a month and a few days left to go and my lowest grades have been a 6 in maths and eng lit. spanish, history and eng lang were 9s. the rest were 7/8s. do you think it's still possible for me to go up grades in maths and eng lit? and maybe up to 9s? i always feel a little guilty because i don't revise daily and only do around 5-8 hours the day before the mocks. and i did especially none for maths and eng lit. i end up getting stressed out because i dont know if there's any time left to go up a grade. do you think i could still make it?
@@rosia_li fair enough! i realised that these were my results from my march mocks and my grades are 7/8/9s now (maths being a high 7, nearly an 8) so ill just keep doing my best. you're totally right ^^
i was in a rlly similar situation - I had 9s in eng lang, eng lit, history, latin, geography, physics and 7/8s in everything else EXCEPT MATHS! but i got an 8 in my maths gcse. my tip is to identify your weaknesses and practice, practice, practice, literally whether it's 6 days or 6 weeks before your exam!
@@sophiemorrison5369 hi! thank you for this advice though i’ve already gotten my gcses back this year :) i got 9999999888 in the end but my maths stayed at an 8. congrats on getting your results back!
would you advise making flash cards based on your teachers notes or the CGP books? because I feel like making flash cards based on teacher notes is a waste of time
Hey so I'm near the end of year 10 and my current grades are: Chemistry - 8 Biology - 9 Physics - 9 Maths - 8 English language - 7 English Literature - 5/6 History - 8/9 Religion - 9 Philosophy and Ethics - 9 Geography - 9 Do you think it would be possible to get all 9s?
I don't have much of a study schedule, but just see how much you want to get done and plan accordingly and make sure to take breaks! I might make a more detailed video on this later; but experiment and see what works for you :)
I'm going into year 11 in a couple of weeks and you have just saved me a lot of stress!! Thank you so much, wish me luck :)
