Hi! I’m not sure if you’re busy and if you’re unable to then i completely understand, but you would you be able to make me predictions for this years papers using the predictions for last years papers and last year’s papers? (Maths and English specifically). Thank you so much for everything ! (Regardless of whether you’re able to or not xx)
@@prettygirl-L ay but predictions are kinda hard to make. its better if u do it by urself, as its a lot more effective in understanding the trends b/n the years.
@@prettygirl-Lit probably wont be possible because everyone does different exam boards so thats too much for one person to do, instead just look at past exam questions and look for what characters/ themes havent been asked
Can you show us how you structured out your time, and what subjects you did on each day. And how many hours you did. Im really scared i will forget everything if i leave it for later.
@@A.Daniel509 yee bet but my schedule started a week or so ago:-
Im taking igcse 9-1, 8 subjects
Chem:- April 05-08 (Past Papers: April 09)
Physics:- April 10-12 (Past Papers: April 13)
Bio:- (I've alr revised this subject so April 14, Past Papers: April 15)
Math:- April 15-17 (Past Papers: April 18)
History:- April 19-20 (Do past papers along with notes on April 20, as well as learn how to answer essay-types)
Geo:- April 21-24 (General Knowledge and key words up to April 22, April 23/24 are Past Papers Along with case studies)
Do past papers on your weakest subjects up to 2 days before the exams start, and then do more questions on the subjects which u take first, as you need to hit the ground running 👍
If it really is that stressful, I recommend getting familiar with caffeine and staying up before your exams start, and only revising parts you don't feel comfortable with a day before the exam. Make sure that you get ur spec, and avoid social media and games, as these next 1-2 months are the last haul before Summer.

@@saysomethingaldcsbiggestfa792 stay strong, we can conquer aqa
How did you know it was me?
I'm fucked
Im kinda cooked cuz i havent rlly done past papers
my sister who got A*s told me to memorise the mark scheme
seems like i should've listened to her..
thank you for this video
how do you memorise the mark scheme like do you just look at every past paper's mark scheme and just memorise it? do you make flashcards on it to help you memorise?
@@pluvvioso basically when you do lots of past papers you will spot some questions that are always repeated: memorise the exact way to answer those. for questions you didn’t know how to answer: memorise the answers for those as well. the questions you knew how to answer: still look at the mark scheme to see what is the ideal way to write and the key words
@@pluvviofor the questions you didn’t know how to answer i would write down the answers for them on a separate sheet so before your exam you know exactly what you’re not confident with and u can go over that instead of going over things u already know
well im sure ur sister also started revision way before, than 2 weeks before igcse 💀💀
@@jessi22-yw1tiyou never know
I’m cooked 💀
LMAOOO
Stay strong 💪
I believe in you just put in the effort 😊
If your cooked then what am I?
thank you for lowering the grade boundaries for us 🫶
My exam is tomorrow, holy moly 🤯
R.E?
IM DOING MY GCSES NEXT YEAR QND I ALREADY FEEL THE STRESS BROO 😭😭🙏wishing EVERYONE doing theirs, good luck you have GOT THIS!!
The grade boundries gonna be higher for us .......gotta lock in early
Same. I have been pressured by myself so hard throughout high school and now I’m doing my mocks in about a week or two and I feel so stressed it’s unbelievable…
@@RubeVeluv it’s so easy to feel stressed out that must acc suck 😭stress means that you care about the exam, try to turn the stress into motivation
@@annabellapraveen2026 real we gotta become literal Einsteins help ☠️🙏
sameeeee
im not even lying, i got so sick of getting those how to get grade 9 videos this is the only one i dont regret watching. it wasnt repetitive at all and gave realistic advice. thank u ur time and effort is appreciated
I agree! The fact she didn’t like show off the grades that much as well (not that those ppl in those vids didn’t earn them and shouldn’t be proud) it just feels more real and down to earth😊
@@CATS_ARE_GODS_LOL worddd
I wasted the last 2 years of my life by not paying attention in class, flopping my gcse mocks and literally binge watching Netflix series.
Just today, I realised i’m screwed. I started stressing like crazy watching ‘last minute’ videos for gcse - it didn’t help but it made my stress level worse seeing that there’s just so much to do is so little time.
I am so glad I came across this video. Giving me some hope to get from such little to at least all A’s. From this video, I’ve realised that GCSE is mostly memorisation and with the motivation I can achieve what I want. It’s not too late to start.
So to my future self, when opening those results on the 22nd of August, I hope you succeeded. Hard work will pay off.
u got this trust me lol
How do yk the result date?
I love the attitude! Rooting for you!! :)
Results day is always 22nd August :)
gl bro
I have two days until my first exam but I'm still convinced I can turn my grades around
REAL!!!!

I have 10 days left in my exams and honestly idk what to do.. I've screwed up everything and I regret not studying before ( I did study tho but not as efficiently as I could have).. But even if I have very less time I'll try my best to improve my grades.. I'll revise the notes I've made and practice past papers.. And thank you so much for this video it actually motivated me to do something even tho I've less time cause for the past months I've been thinking I've no time and I can do nothing..
ops
Sameee😢😢
@xamatchyaax5106it's okay.. I know how you feel cause I'm pretty much feeling the same..I just want you to know that you can still do a lot.. Don't compare yourself with others and don't feel like you can't achieve the grades you want, cause I'm sure you can.. all you need is to work hard till your exams, practice lots of past paper questions.. ik you won't be able to get them right on your first attempts but trust me when you keep on practicing them you'll improve a lot.. So, girl, don't get discouraged, just keep on working hard even if you feel like you have very less time or you can't do it cause I know you're gonna ace your exams..
You're doing great and you're still keeping up with the amount of stress you have.. I'm here for you till you get your dream grades..
Love you💕💕
(Help?? I just noticed I've written a whole ass essay😭)
I have 8 days, we got thisss!!!
I am in uni and I have studied for exams with more content in shorter time periods so din't worry girl you've got this ❤❤❤
BROO you are a godsend! this vid literally snapped me out of my "i'll pass anyway" excuse and honestly motivated me to use these last few days wisely. i've been neglecting revision lately because i keep thinking i've already left it too late, but this was a real wake-up call. thank you so much
Glad I could help you! Good luck - you can do it!! :)
Iam watching this at midnight and I've had a revelation, i can't really describe it in words.

how do i do that? like what should i do?
@@lem.9605flashcards
@@lem.9605 just remember the structures that you need to have and what information you must include to achieve the marks you want from the mark schemes, basically everything you need to do for the exams is on those mark schemes :) GL!!
Took a break over summer but also wrote an entire book at the same time 😅😳
What's it called?
@@kantui100 Bows, Strings and Dreams!
@@therefulgences sounds good😲
ooh girl im also writing a book bc im not ready for my igsces next year
@@sarajaved1087 haha real, i'm taking igcses this year and i'm still not ready. Good luck on your book!!
This gave me so much more courage. I recently travelled from abroad and now living in the UK, and because of the college system, i was stuck in entry level english and maths for 3-4months and was just moved up to Higher maths and 9-1 English Language in December. Though im doing alright in english language, i have high ambitions for higher maths which i’m not even close to achieving and i already regret 2/3 months i had before to study in which i didn’t know. Now i have 1 month and almost 3years of content to learn and understand and be able to apply… it sucks and i can already feel the burn out (esp having worked so hard abroad learning a new language for top grades, only to move to england and be told they weren’t even GCSE equivalent) but i’m determined and willing to sacrifice anything that stops me. Thank you so much for this ! An absolute star xx
This video honestly helped a lot with narrowing things down on what I should focus on for my exams next year. Thank you.
IM SO STRESSED OUT OMG like they start in a week and I haven't been going to school since before christmas cuz of my mental health, and I was meant to be working from home all that time but I haven't done any since I dropped out cuz I was dealing with a lottt. I'm really struggling to bring myself to revise cuz it just doesn't feel worth it atp and there's so much content that every time I try to do any I get so overwhelmed😭But this video really helped to motivate me, especially since you missed a lot of school yourself - no other videos I've watched have taken that possibility into account. THANK U SO SO MUCH!!!
Good Luck with exams and what you are dealing with you can get through it
Keep going 👍
You can do it!! I believe in you! :)
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH SO SO MUCH THANK YOU I REALLY NEEDED THIS I WAS STRESSING BC I STILL HAVE SO MUCH TO DO AND THER IS LESS THAN 4 WEEKS LEFT, THERE SOME PARTS OF HISTORY THAT I HAVENT EVEN TOUCHED BUT IM NOT GONNA ALLOW MYSELF TO BE OVERWHELEMED AND I WILL MAKE IT, IM COMING BACK HERE ON RESULTS DAY TO LET YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENS, STAY TUNED😭😭😭😭
you are such a good person I genuinely hope for ur success in everything you do
Very excited for the video! ❤️😍🔥
My favourite violinist and in time for my gcse 🙏🙏 thank you
Thank you so much for this video. I don’t have much time left but I really need to improve my grades and this video’s really helped and inspired me. I’ve subscribed. Looking forward to what else you have to show.
It's 2 weeks till my GCSE and I am in a similar position you were in. This video has given me the inspo to push myslef even harder. Thank you so much I really needed that.
Good luck!
Hi Leia, I just wanted to say that you are an absolute inspiration. I loved the structure of this video and your amazing attitude to revision for your GCSEs. Thank you so much this is so inspiring.
WDYM 2024 BOUNDARIES WILL BE HIGHER (im done for)
tbh it rlly depends on how hard or easy the paper is
it's bc the past few years were affected by covid a lot more than we were so to make it fair the grade boundaries for us would be higher 😭 (im assuming)
@@1ecstasyy thats accurate my teachers told me the same thing. it is bec the evidence most people did during covid made most students get inaccurately high marks with low effort. so theyre balancing the boundaries again. this sucks but oh well.
Hopefully you guy’s boundaries won’t be as high as 2023
Nahhh they can’t we were lockdown year 7s so they have to have mercy
I already use most of these methods so when I heard you talking about them i felt SO RELEIVED.
I used to barely revise for any tests, scraping okay grades in my exam, wanting medicine as my future without putting any work in. For the last week, I just realised that I have to lock in for these exams and I have to revise with a clear plan ahead. I really appreciate the video for emphasising on factors that we should go over, thx for the tips.
Thank you soooo much!!!! You’re a life saver, I wasn’t motivated to start studying and now I have 4 weeks left and I’m stressing so much. Your vid has motivated me to start studying. I’m so glad I came across this video.
Thank you youtube for showing me this 3 weeks late
currently revising for my a level mocks, and this was just as helpful and motivating. thank u so much
can I just say I love you, like lokey ur my biggest savior. Got urself a new subscriber gurly❤
Thank you so much for this! Im in a situation where I have to learn most if not all of my content at home, and im in year 10. I know its doable but its difficult to think positively, this video is a huge help.
I'm literally watching this after the "IGCSEs results reaction" video, and Ik im late and everything but thank u smm you've motivated me alot more to work harder and work to make myself proud and not do it for others. thank u again and belated congrats for u in passing ur GCSEs.
AND WHAJHDJHSAJ A FELLOW WAYZENNI AHHHH I WISH I COULD REWARD MYSELF WITH SOMETHING THAT GREAT
Leia how are you so talented!?! T-T so good at violin AND academics!! You're simply brilliant.. way to go
Same thing, but with A levels and i got a 67% attendance for the first year due to illness. 3 weeks to go wish me luck 😂. Will be doing this thank you, but luckily only have 1 more subject I'm behind on so can focus everything on that. Will be finishing solo levelling and sweet home as a reward. It's AQA psychology.
Omg I’ve also missed out on school bcz of an illness but I’m in year 10 doing an English lit gcse !! Good luck
As level here toooooo
i love sweet home as well

Girl this video is SOOOO helpful. I was struggling studying history and my other subjects and this was everything I needed and more. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
im gonna be watching this everyday for the motivation bro ty
THANK YOU this might have just saved my grades🙏
Omg this made me actually feel more motivated to do my gcses, especially for biology and history this year! Thank you so much!!
I am so glad that I found this video coz ur situation tbh similar to mine right now got 19 days till first exam 😬 , you inspired me to burn out well these weeks I been chilling all time 😖!!! Gotta work harder 💪 Thanks
This was amazing thank you so much
sincerely grateful for this
You are literally theost impressive person I've seen ever😭😭 on tour since you were 6 and all A*?!! Absolutely crazy😧😧🎉🎉
Mine start tomorrow…I have already gone through the 5 stages of greif I am now in acceptance of my failure.
Despite being almost completely the opposite of the target audience this video was aimed towards, (someone that never has missed a day and studies for all my free time) this video was still very insightful for me.
Researching how mark schemes have been structured in the past and looking at previous full mark answers along with doing past papers is something I have in my own revision routine.
Quality content.
I saw you in southbank. Now I’m doing my GCSES. And watching you tell me how to study. Crazy.
i can get 7+ in pretty much all subjects without revision, purely coz i learnt that i was terrible at revision, never knew how to revise and could never concentrate enough. now i'm prepared to lock in to get the 9's i know i'm capable of, i just need a little push. gonna use this advice for pretty much all future revision, thanks leia.
Great video, staright to the point very engaging and was quite helpful. Thanks.
You truly are incredible!! I’m not British or live in Britain but oh my word this helped me with my exams!!! Thank you so much and I love your violin skills ❤
im currently doing all the subjects that you are doing and I can say this has helped me so much my as exams are soon (not GCSE but kind of preparing for them) and I was worried I wasn't gonna pass. Tysm!
watching this a day before my exam bye guys
My first exam is tomorrow 🥰🥰
legend for making this video seriously
The sound effects are killing me omgg LMAO this vid was very informative!
You’re actually a life-saver
By the way how did you organize your revision? Could you make like a video on how you organized your revision like what subjects you did on what day etc?
thankyou
You can do it! Only a few weeks to go! Wishing you the best :))

I'm sorry, I had to type another comment. This is one of those videos that is accidently a video I would rewatch consistently for an entire century.
got biology today just started revising 20 minutes ago gave up
I just finished the mock yesterday. WHERE WAS THIS VIDEO WHEN I NEEDED ITTTT
I was struggling so much before I came across this video 😭 but now I have my priorities straight thanks to you. You’re the only realistic person on UA-cam at this point. WE NEED MORE VIDEOS LIKE THIS 🫶🫶🫶
thank you for the advice leia i was so stressed about them (i did my gcse's 5 years ago and im about to complete my degree in biomedicine)
This came at the perfect time for me, I'm in year 10 and have wasted the entire year not focusing on school and this has motivated me to start, thank you.
Hey Leia :)
Thank you for the video!
I was wondering when you get the chance, can you do a video on performance strategies? How do you keep a clear mind and have a masterful performance?
Would love to! Stay tuned :)
Love for this ❤
You look so cool in those photos 😭😭
I like you! And your videos!
Amazing vid
Great video! Would really love if you could share the documents you made
Thank you for the video
I screwed up regardless 💀 thank me if the grade boundaries lower guys ✋
omd this made me have hope T-T i had medical problems this year i missed like half the year and I've never really had time to focus on school before because most of my time was spent on extracurricular activities i had to juggle tennis, volleyball violin, piano and my baking business at the same time let alone writing my next book to publish so even though i thought i could focus fully this year i guess fate had its own plans so now i have to cram again
this is the best video ever
