Love how you talked about the biology exam question. Could you perhaps make a video explaining-rather than answering - some 6 mark biology exam questions for GCSE (preferably Edexcel)?

@jessicaappiah1921 Год назад

And maybe for higher maths as it can be hard to understand the mark scheme sometimes

I have my mocks coming up, before my GCSE’s. I’ve missed so much and you’ve helped me so much thank you. Sometimes I don’t really know how to catch up

@SmileWithSola Год назад

I'm glad my videos help you! If you're struggling to keep up then be sure to plan your time effectively. Spend one hour each day learning something that you missed, and 1 hour doing something in the current topic you're being taught so you don't fall behind. Try to do all your homework in the week, so the weekend can be spent on catchup. Hope this helps! Be sure to like and share this video with friends to support my channel :-) x

Great way of revising. When you make the notes try to make them as concise as possible. This will help the information stay in your mind because you have to think more about the best things to write. Good luck 📊📊

@iceydiamond9992 Год назад

Thanks for your really useful videos! I found your channel whilst researching for my son who's just about to take his GCSEs. His teacher told me they don't teach them how to answer or revise above roughly a grade 6/7 level....they just don't have time, madness! So here we are researching it ourselves! I took my GCSEs in 1997 and only had a textbook to revise from, let's just say it didn't go so well 😆 All these wonderful resources that are available these days are just fantastic, people don't know how lucky they are having all this information at their fingertips 24/7, thanks so much!

@SmileWithSola Год назад

I'm so glad you find my videos useful. You're right, we have so much access to free resources now that we can use to teach ourselves and get the best grades. Be sure to watch my Grade 9 series on my channel as I have specific videos on the different subjects. Best of luck to your son in his studies! :-)

@itzoreoyo9479 Год назад

Thank you so much for what you do you really have helped me so much even though I’ve only just done my first mocks. For science in particular I don’t think my school are going to finish the curriculum fully in school. What do you recommend for not only revising science but first time learning?

@SmileWithSola Год назад

I would say try to be quick with your homework, obviously still do it to a good standard, but don't spend too much time on it. Perhaps spend 1 hour each day writing your notes / flashcards for a subtopic in science. To get through the content more easily, I would defo recommend making notes from the videos - especially MyGCSEScience - that's how I finished the curriculum before my teacher did. There's also freesciencelessons videos which are good as well. Then after this 1 hour, go to revise a previous topic so you don't forget the past ones. Hope this helps!

@kristiechiamaraoguka5922 Год назад

Hi Sola, would you recommend to start revising in January? And is there any way you could do a video on how to approach past paper questions?

@SmileWithSola Год назад

Yep I'm going to make a series on answering exam questions and my technique! I believe that you should start serious revision for exams in March, but still revise now in terms of end-of-topic tests, revisiting topics you didn't understand before, etc. Just don't try to do intense revision from Jan because there's still 5 months before exams and you could burn yourself out

what is the difference between the specifications for science gsce as there is a combined science one and also individual physics, chemistry and biology ones

Combined science is for people doing double science. The individual specifications are for people doing triple as it counts as 3 separate GCSEs.

@M5FTZ Год назад

Blurtttt. I swear it helped me so much. Write what u know about a certain topic, then look at textbooks videos etc to fill in gaps. Prioritise what ur weakest at. Look at ur previous mocks as well and see where u lost marks cuz u may do the same thing again in other tests. Maybe redo some of the questions from previous mocks and see how u improved. Also an exam tip flick thru the paper before the test and write lil keywords somewhere in the paper so u don’t end up forgetting during the test.

If you put work into it, I'm sure you can. I've seen a lot of videos where people are getting 5s in their mocks but their GCSEs are all 8s and 9s.

hii~~~ I was wondering what you got in your mock exams? i’m generally a grade 8 student (all my predicted are 8s) but recently i’ve done horribly in my mock exams (my first year 11 mocks), because of my insomnia and the lack of support i’ve had from my teachers- i start procrastinating during the exam and my brain completely turns off. do you have any tips on how to cope with this? i’m scared that i wont be able to meet or exceed my target grades for the actual exams and i know that there are only 5 months left. do you think that i’ll be able to improve by then? and thank you sm for these videos- they genuinely help so much!! 🫶🫶

@SmileWithSola Год назад

Hi! So I don't remember my exact grades because it's been a while but I know that I got some 6s,7s and 8s, nothing like what I got in my actual exams. You have over 5 months before your GCSEs which is about 150+ days. This is totally enough time to turn things around, your grades right now don't define you! They only show what topics you need to put more work in. Try to get help with your insomnia as not having enough sleep is a key reason as to why you're losing focus. Treat the exam like a game, where you're trying to get the most 'points' in the quickest amount of time. Any question you don't know then fold the corner of the paper and come back to it. Just try to maximise how many marks you can get by using this method and by making it somewhat fun. Hope this helps! Be sure to like, subscribe and share this video to support my channel :-)
