How to improve grades Step 1: Know everything you have to cover (write down all my topics) Step 2: understand the content (basically go through and learn everything to a level of solid understanding) Step 3: Take mock exams seriously and use them as a reflection of your strengths and weaknesses Step 4: use past papers and replicate exam conditions when doing the past papers Step 5: ask for help Step 6: test yourself to see if you truly understand

I feel like my school has rushed us into our mocks, like we've done BOTH rounds of them before February with literally 3 weeks in-between from the last ones. Like they expected us to memorise new topics, topics from year 9 and other irrelevant parts just for the mocks along with HOMEWORK. I hope I did okay but I can't help but feel like I did so bad. Ugh now that they're over I'm definitely going use all your tips and try doing my best in the summer!

@SmileWithSola Жыл бұрын

I totally know how you feel! Mocks can be really stressful especially when they are thrown at you last minute. It's important to remember that whilst they are a reflection of what you currently know / your stress levels at the time, there is still a lot of time for you to progress before your real exams. You've got this!

only discovered this channel today - but in my year 10 mocks, i had gotten grades of 4s in both english papers and maths papers, 5s in history, CS, 6 7 in science and an 8 in r.e. from my recent mocks, i had gotten 7s in both english papers, 7 in history, 7 in CS, a 4 in maths (w/ one mark away from a 5, foundation btw), 66 in science and 5 in re (the timed conditions they had for r.e was wrong; that is not a joke). i went from a U in Business to 6 (should've been a 9 smh) i did way better in some subjects, some only a tad bit worse but i know where my errors are. note: my highest target grade for subjects is a 5, with 4s in maths and science (i'm in higher for science). i'm proud of it, and i'm still continuing my revision from the advice you've described in your videos from what i've seen. i've got to thank past papers and past questions to help a lot with that ... and mindmaps. seriously without mindmaps i wouldn't be able to memorise and understand the content. thanks for these videos, i will continue to watch them throughout these next 3 and a half months.

Needed this! I got a grade 4+ in Maths in my last mock after getting a U. And this time around because my Spanish teacher told me to focus more on Spanish & I felt like I was getting better in maths I didn't focus as much in revision and I got a 3. I was really upset by it but this video gave me the push of reassurance that I can do much better and I do have the ability of getting a grade 6/7 in Maths if I revise it more often. Thanks so much Sola!☺

Dont feel subjected to teachers asking you to focus on a subject more as only you know what is important and if the situation escalates tell a member of staff that the Spanish teacher is bothering you as you shouldn’t be pressured to focus on a subject if you have other weakness that are more important. At the end of the day maths is a core subject that is needed to do A level and BTEC on a higher level

@SmileWithSola Жыл бұрын

Its the same with any subject, write down all of topics in order of difficulty, do the topic and rate the study session red (hard), orange (medium), green (easy). If it was red, revise it again the next day. If it was orange, revise it in 3 days. If it was green, revise it in 1 week. You can increase the amount of days in between the more you revisit the topic or the more confident you are in the topic. Hope this helps.

I've got a level 4 in English, yet I'm classed as gifted. Sure a level 4 is a pass, I just wasn't given the opportunities in my life to prove myself. I've got 5 GCSE's including all 3 core subjects, 3 B's, a level 4 and a merit in horticulture. I went to special needs placement I didn't want to go to, but I still have passed none the less. I re did my English 2 years ago and missed half my lessons due to covid lockdown restrictions, but I still got 55% of the marks regardless. When I re did my maths I only did 2 pieces of coarse work and only got a B because I accidently missed out the middle pages. I think I was 3 marks off an A al together, because of the mistake I made or at least very close to an A. Next year I'm going to do AS kevels in maths and science! Don't be disheartened with only a 4, a pass is a pass!!!!

I would recommend trying to revise before school because this is when you have more energy - even 30 mins of studying can make a difference for example in maths - do a quick corbett 5 a day. If you have the opportunity, try to go to a library or cafe before you go home, it will help distinguish rest from studying, and force you to be in an environment where people are productive and can see you. Hope this helps!

hi sola, or anyone that can respond to my comment, the spec for biology is so so long, it’s like 92 pages, what pages do i specially print out that will Help me? im really not sure

@SmileWithSola Жыл бұрын

If you want to print it out physically only print where they talk about the topics in detail, not the front few pages and end pages. Or you can search for a checklist on Google e.g. AQA GCSE Biology Checklist. Some people already convert it into a checklist and all you have to do is make an account and download it. For example on the website Tes. Hope this helps!

Hey - I have a small question for you - I’ve been looking through gcse/igcse videos all over KZfaq as I should be picking now for next year. My school does a combo of gcses and igcse and has a selection of compulsory gcses English: language & literature, combined science (you can pick triple science as an option), mathematics, religious studies and we are meant to pick 4 optional subjects (Art, Accounting, economics, geography, German,Greek, history, ict, music) I want to pursue being a mechanical engineer so I don’t actually need anything out of those other than triple science 😅. Is picking Triple science, computing, accounting, art or Triple science, computing, accounting, economics a better selection (with me being confident in both versions) as the first shows variation in skills while the latter shows a steady level in “logic-based” subjects? Or any other recommendations in 4 optional gcses as I am trying to keep an open mind.

@SmileWithSola Жыл бұрын

Art takes up a lot of time and commitment so unless you really really enjoy it I would recommend to do the 2nd option so you can focus on getting good grades in all of your subjects. Your uni won't discriminate based on you not doing a creative subject in GCSE. Hope this helps!

@avajordan6635 Жыл бұрын

You will do compulsory English Language (2 exams for 1 gcse) and English Literature (2 exams for 1 gcse). You will do compulsory 1 give in Maths (3 papers) Yu will probably have to do science, but at my school you can choose Combines Science (6 papers for 2 GCSE’s) or Triple science (9 exams for 3 GCSE’s). Then everything else you can usually get to choose, but some schools make you do religious studies!
