Hey guys! I'm glad you are finding the video really useful. A lot of you guys are asking me for advice for specific subjects such as English, Maths, Science, History, etc. I have the best news for you! I have an 'ACE YOUR GCSE' playlist where I go into specific advice for each subject on how I got grade 9s (A*s). Defo check it out: ua-cam.com/play/PL5VzP8nvofnapDhnpwG_KmZx1G4stkhQn.html
Hi, I have Year 10 mocks coming up soon as well and I really wanna ace them to reduce workload and pressure in Year 11. Do you have any tips bcuz this is our first time sitting exams and that feels a bit scary, especially when youre in a grammar school coming from a lower income household. I can imagine you'll be busy with dental skl (and making vids for real gcse and a-level asw) so sorry for the disruption
@@mimahamed7337 My biggest thing with mocks is take them seriously - do the work but DO NOT put too much pressure on yourself. Mocks are a diagnostic way for YOU to find out your weaknesses, not for you to get the perfect grades. Otherwise they would have just made you sit your GCSEs now. So do the work, watch all my vids on my ace your GCSE playlist but at the end of the day don't burn yourself out. Try your best and your best is all you can do.
Hi sola, what did you get for your Yr 10 mocks? Ty
I absolutely love this, 1 day before Biology tommorow!!
Stressed?!!! GURLL I HAD A WHOLE MELTDOWN TDAY😭
same 😭
Fr😭😭💀
Honestly, it's totally normal! It's your first major exam so it can be a lot of pressure. I have a video on how to manage exam stress and get that last bit of motivation you need before your exams here: ua-cam.com/video/Wfsm8Id1dVI/v-deo.html
so real
I didn’t realize there are ONLY 2 MONTHS LEFT
I'm so glad you are helping each year with revision I first saw you like 3 years ago and your still doin it thankyou so much
❤❤❤
Hi sola, I never got the chance to say thank you so much for posting these motivational videos. I took my GCSEs last year and without your videos, I'm 90% sure that I wouldn't have been confident enough in my exams or in my revision to pass every one of them. You're amazing!!
omg aya and mitsuki :o
Aww thank you so much! I'm so glad to hear that :)
mitsuki and aya pfp !!
Thanks ❤ great advice 🎉
Thank you so much your amazing!!!
THANK YOU SO SO SO SO MUCH FOR THIS I ACTUALLY NEEDED THIS !

Thank you Sola, you are a life saver! Your videos and advices helped me improve my grades a lot!
God bless you for this omg

SOLA TYSM I LOVE YOU
The Pearson books and online resources are amazing! 😮
thanks I really needed this video
thank you for detailing how to use practice questions, everyone just says to do them but they don't detail on why or how so tyy
Thanks Sola ❤
Early igcse math paper 2 today! Couldn't have done it without you. ❤
Thank you Sola, I really need this😅
Sola is Amazing!!
Hi sola im in year ten thanks so much for helping me with my work and things
very insightful video, thank you !
🥰💞
Love your videos ❤
thank you so much for the advice i havnt done anything and my mock is next week
i have left this until 2 weeks before the exams but im doing pretty well, my grades arent too bad (im predicted a 7/A for maths!!!!) so this should really help!! i just finished watching your "how to get top marks in re" video and it was soooo helpful! i took a whole page of notes for the 12 markers and i think it really boosted my confidence in essay writing, thanks for the tips!!
I LOVE HER
I’m on a 3 in science tryna get to a 7 💀 just started revising seriously a couple days ago
u can do it!!
Thank you so much genuinely I’m actually quite scared of my gcse literally round the corner and attempting revision gets extremely difficult
This is so helpful and actually motivated me to start!! The only thing is that i'm procrastinating a lot and can't get myself to study. I am also really struggling with computer science and chemistry and I really want to get at least a grade 8 in these two. 😥 This is really stressing me out!
Thanks Sola
I have been revising passively from year 10 up until the new year. I watched all your subject videos but still procrastinated, took huge breaks and this had a huge increase on my screen time. I really strugg to revise essay based subjects, well it's only ENGLISH LITERATURE. From watching his, i feel more disciplined to smash the exam a get the grade i want (grade 7-8 and at least a 6 in Literature).
I think definitely have a go of deleting your apps that are distracting you during work time, download them back as a treat or until exams are over. I've got videos on how to deal with procrastination so defo give it a look: ua-cam.com/video/MYMuHoWKzkI/v-deo.html
can't believe 2 years have already passed since by GCSEs with now sitting A levels in 2024. good luck everyone
SUMMARY!
1. Start now! Doesn't matter how little you've done
2. Rank subjects you find hardest in terms of difficulty (hardest to easiest)
3. Write subjects u find hardest for each topic and prioritise for each subject (use pass mocks to help)
Perfect revision session
1. start with hardest thing and start with questions straight from memory
2. Look at mark scheme and UNDERSTAND them + watch summary vid of needed then go back and see if you can answer (covers exam techniques and weak spots)
3. Do past papers
Maximise priorities
1. Use pre-made revision sources (active revision and cuts down time)
2. Pearson revision guides
Do as many past papers as possible
1. Pretend its the real exam. Time it and DON'T leave a question blank
2. When marking, analyse why you got it wrong - redo wrong questions in a few days
Essay based subjects
1. Blurting technique then write an essay in that topic
2. Get advice from teachers
A LEVEL ONE NEXT PLEASEE💖💖💖💖💖
I need history tips so much to remember in such a short period of time
Yes I had a history mock and i couldn't remember all the information and blurting didn't help. Does s9meone know a puicj way to learn a lot of information for a slow learner
@@ishaparbhoo atp just ask your teacher
@@saliuvvv4622 he just said practice questions. My teacher isn't version good
Look at which component you struggle with most. Look at the specifications and don’t learn anything else extra. Cram only the vital knowledge you need. But most of all stay optimistic
I think the best way is to do some past papers and see where you have knowledge gaps. What I mean by this is that looking at your notes is such an info overload so instead just do some questions and see what you're missing and go from there
girl in 38 DAYS I HAVE MOCKS 8 SUBJECTS AND 2 YEARS OF CONTENT IM STRESSED PLUS WITH RAMADAN STARTING ON SUNDAY - GIRL NO
FRR ITS FINE GIRL WE WILL GET THROUGH IT
Hi Sola. Can you post a video about how to focus on studies for gcse and igcse students. PLEASE
Amazing video like always I have a year 9 science mock exam which determine sets which I’m rlly scared I’m trying to memorise as much as I can
don't stress about it, you're only in year 9 so you have plenty of time before you actually need to properly start revising so take this time to relaxxx. i promise you in year 11 you're gonna be laughing at yourself for even being worried about that
literally, as the other person said, RELAXX you're in year 9!!! I really wish that when I was in year 9 I put less effort in school and just relaxed lol. It is good to work hard but don't put lots of pressure on yourself because things that happen from yr 7-9 don't really matter
Hi Sola, how long do you think I should be revising for each day? If you have a certain amount of time to suggest that would be very helpful!
Can you please do one for A levels ❤
hiii pleaseeeee can you do more videos on alevel religious studies. im panicking so much for the exams!!! please can you do a video explaining the essay structure u used to get ur a*. can u also do a video on revision techniques for alevel rs because im struggling so much, my teacher is no help and im so scared. thank u smmmm
I have my a levels next year
On the academic comeup with this vid icl
Hey, could you do a video about the resources you used for each subject when studying?
These are in each of the subject's videos in my ace your GCSE playlist
how many days before did you start revising for your GCSEs?
Hi Sola, I have been a big fan of your videos. Can you give me some advice: basically, I have been stuck on grade 8s in all my sciences (triple) and maths, but somehow I can’t jump over the gap between grade 8 and 9, can you give me some advice please? 🙏🏻😭
I have only got grade 4 in all my subjects but not gotten grade 5 and above since i got to year 10 last year. So how can i improve my grades
Hey Omg tahnks for sharing this video with us ! im currently at a grade 6 and want to achieve 8 in my maths GCSE. Is there something that you would strongley reccomend after doing maths geneie because i have completed the topic questions and the past PAPERS FROM 2018. I struugle to think differently in the exam. like apparently you are ment to look at the question from a differnt perspective to see what application fits the best and honestly im literally struggling with that. What would you reccomend ?
i did my GCSES last year and got a U in maths but a 9 in further maths i still dont know how
Good luck to me
As GCSE is in a few months can anyone give me the past paper method for GCSE sciences I flopped since year 9, what I do is print the paper and write the answers and copy the question and put the paper away and remember writing the answers and try to remember to stick into my head.
My GCSE is in May please 🙏 help me pass my exam and GCSE ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
can you do a video for alevels
I need literature , re , maths F , geograihy tips 😢
Im procrastinating and i feel like im gonna fail 😭😭
i have 56 days is that enough time to do well ?
I was making flash cards for maybe the past 1 and a half week, do you think I should just start using PMT flashcards to save time?
If you find that you're spending more time making flashcards than actually revising then definitely start using pre-made flashcards. Also, start exam papers from now onwards to help :)
What if I have already made most flashcards ? Should I just stop
Hey girl i really want to get good grades but i know nothing i slept through all my lessons what should I do
hi sola ! is it better for me to past papers of biology and chemistry or learn the content ?
my teachers (mostly chem) have been doing a thing where they give us a past paper and you answer from memory and then you can use textbooks to write the answers you didn't get because it still helps you remember it and it's written down idk if that will help but it's helping for me
Do we get the grade from the marks of Paper 1 and 2? Do I need to get 40/50 marks altogether?
Sorry for the silly question.
1:33 the background audio scared me 😭
FML i didn't revise imma abt to do shit teachers be pulling me outta lessons to tell me im shit fuck 😢
u still have time dw, just use UA-cam videos and past papers
@rolypoly5770
Ty ik it's not ideal 60 days for a SEPARATE SCIENCE AND FURTHER MATHS student but I think if i I move to trilogy I'll do better and put in the hard work I'll do well
@@Reinadinoeseparate science and triple maths student as well! Idk how ima survive
would you recommend memorising mark schemes? x
I would try to understand it first, to make sure that I can actually recall it more easily. I wouldn't recommend blindly memorising though, because sometimes you need to change your answer based on how they want you to apply it to the question.
How about a 2 to 7?
what if i can't even do a past paper? i opened a physics past paper and i dont know anything. i only have till april for my mocks, what should i do? should i revise the whole book? im horrible at biology and physics. please help. and is physicsandmathtutor a good revision resource for revision papers?
Physics and maths tutor is great and they have exam questions and flashcards.
If you don't know any of the science content, I suggest watching cognito videos for specific topics or science shorts yt channel for an overview of science exam papers
Mam how much dental student loans do you have? Plz reply. Thanks a lot.
Can anyone give my some English and combined science revision tips as I write the past paper answers on the paper itself and learn can anyone give me a easy and quick way for science especially, for past papers.
i would 100% recommend CGP combined science revision cards. they are AMAZING. do what works for you: when i dont understand a concept like equilibrium i visualize it and apply it to real life situations. whenever youre stuck on something, no mater how easy it may be ALWAYS ask your teacher.
For english i would recommend quizlet and sparknotes (theyre both free) for quotes and ask your teacher to read over your work. i havent got much to say for english becuase im only at a low 7 but for science i am at a 8
@@aminesandal5741 Any quick revision tips for past papers?
Please watch my GCSE english and science video in my 'Ace your GCSE' playlist: ua-cam.com/play/PL5VzP8nvofnapDhnpwG_KmZx1G4stkhQn.html

First mocks I got all 4s now in Jan mock I got all 6s and one 9 and 2 months left do you think I can get that 8?
ABSOLUTELY THAT IS EXTREMELY POSSIBLE IF YOU PUT YOUR MIND TO IT TRUST ME KEEP GOINGGG
Also If you don't mind me asking HOW DID YOU JUMP TWO GRADES SO QUICK
I’m assuming you do 9-10gcses so what I done is I ranked my fav subjects to revise and picked 3 subjects a day to revise. So whatever that subject is I recommend at least do 35mins of watching vids/notes on a topic u don’t understand. After that take a 5min break(don’t use your phone) then do another 35mins but this time do practice qs. There are lots of sites like bitesize, examq(maths) etc.. u got this
mines in a year . screams
I am in year 11 in my school 🏫 please look at the math and English please 🙏 please 🙏 and I love your UA-cam channel like Mrbeast have 100M Views Mrbeast have 100M viewers
how do i get 3 to 5 atleast
Watch my video on how you can improve your GCSE grades in a matter of weeks: ua-cam.com/video/KQUH_wj-bQw/v-deo.html
Will this help me go from a 4 to a 6 in maths ? 53 days until my first maths exam, 47 days until GCSEs
yes, you can ask for past papers from teachers and see what topics youre weak at and then use videos or answer exam questions targeting those weaknesses until you understand/get marks!! if you focus on the topics which questions normally have more marks (3+) rather than one/two mark questions it should gain you a lot more marks
@@jaslmao okay thank you sm!

Go on maths genie and go through all the topic questions .There is also videos for each topic . Its actually very helpful.

Start reading them now then, watch videos, make notes about quotes, make notes about themes, practise questions, and essay structure. Learn how to analyse and link. If you're good at english language itll help a little in lit.
I don’t know how to revise English literature!
I have a video on English literature here, defo check it out! I have a lot of tips and tricks on how to revise and practice for your exams: ua-cam.com/video/amefrvEj464/v-deo.html

Active recall

Has she ever stopped smiling?
NEVER!
My problem is that I am an ambitious perfectionist, so despite the fact that I only achieved a few 8s, mostly 9s, it still kills me.
