      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)

      @@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.

    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.

    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

    My school is starting on the 15th of January (my country’s terms and holidays work different, but we have the Cambridge curriculum) and I’m starting grade 10. This video really motivated me even more to do really good this year. I have always in the top ten of my grade, but I really want to take it to the next level so thanks for all the notes. When I actually write my final exams, I 100% will come back.

    What motivated me was knowing that if i have to try again , Ill have to pay for it , and its a lot whether i manage to work and paay for it myself or my mum ends up having to pay for my education , it's a loss of a big enough amount of money and also the fact that the minimum respect my family and people ik have will fall rapidly and I'll be a laughing stock fs given many people predicted I'll fail if I went like how I did , now idk what's gonna happen but a big part of me believes that I'll end up proving them right and be a huge joke but a small part of me hopes i end up getting grades good enough to not have to repeat gcse and die , i personally wouldn't mind doing it again if it meant becoming a pro and learning things properly but i care too much more about people's eyes and opinions to respect my love for learning instead of grades.
