I dont even know how the first year pass and i see how i worked for the first year and what i did is way too less than what i expected and as time pass my grades are getting lower and lower , also i have a pressure (when i say i have a pressure it is different than others because, my parents have much pressure on me that everyone in our home but also they are not giving me what i needed and i still have a big problem that i cant solve it) and i still dont know what to do I'm trying my best but i cant and i wish i could study peacefully and happly😊 and thanks for the advices that you show me in this video
I'm glad you found the tips helpful! Everyone has their own unique strengths and abilities. Keep applying yourself and you'll achieve great things in your studies :D Keep up the hard work!!
@@way2saturn IGCSE is like the ordinary level and A Levels are Advanced levels.. If you have a good understanding of the igcse you would be able to do AS but its definitely a bit advanced and A2 is more advanced.. Which is the second year. But studying and working harder.. It should be fine.
I have 9 subjects and less than a month left to revise 😢 I was predicted for A in biology but recently doing past papers my scores dropped SIGNIFICANTLY like 12-20 mark gaps from before. What should I do 😭 Same goes for geography… 😅
My advice is to not worry or panic too much because that actually happened to me too. Just keep doing past papers consistently and practice more on the questions you don't understand. It'll be alright in the actual exam!
@@itsonlyheather I think they went pretty well Thanks to your advice I kept it together and kept on going, now I’m enjoying a graduation trip in Japan, Tokyo! I’ll update the results when they’re out!
@@itsonlyheather I got my results! 6A’s (which 4 are A*), 2 B’s and 1 C Bio, Geo, English, Drama A* Math and Food tech A GP and Chinese B Art and design C Thank you 🤩
Thank you so much, this really inspired me for my upcoming may/June exams! I'm curious on how many past papers did you manage in a day? ( With 7 subjects, I assume it's a big workload)
I'm glad it was helpful for you! I think I tried to complete 3-4 past papers for each subject everyday, if I remember correctly. Good luck for your finals!
@@itsonlyheather Thank you so much! And did those 3-4 past papers per subject per day include school work? Because I don't think I can manage that much for each subject, especially after school hours 😭
I love your tips but for the first one to streamline your notes.. how do we know that information is imporant in exams cuz most of the time I make notes but I included unnecessary ones so how do we figure the information is necessary?
This is a good question! I didn't know which parts were important too when I first started IGCSE. So you'll only be able to know which parts are important after you've completed your first exam and have exposure to how the past papers look like. Then, you'll find out which information's frequently asked in past papers and that will be the necessary info.
Hey, thank you for sharing your IGCSE tips videos, by the way, I just have some doubts about the syllabus which I need to get clarified as soon as possible. - When they mention for eg: describing the role nervous system as the coordination and regulation of body functions, does it mean that the only things I need to know about the role of a nervous system are coordination and regulation of body functions? - When they mention for eg: describing Brownian motion in terms of random collisions between microscopic particles and particles in a liquid or gas, does it mean that these words must be there in your answer to a question asking about describing Brownian motion?
For the first question: Well it's true that the things you need to know about the role of nervous system are fall into the category of coordination and regulation of body functions if we sum it all up but it's best to not leave any part of your textbook and try to learn everything about nervous system that's in your textbook. Second question: It's not exactly a must to have those specific words in your answer. You just have to describe it using the theory of "random collision between microscopic particles and particles in a liquid or gas". You don't lose marks for not having those keywords but you mostly do need to use those words to describe it. I hope this helps!
Sis, following the specification will help to streamline notes..ryt..personally i make shortnotes by appling blurting, then pastpapers , then i revise things i get wrong .. So far things have gone great and i could top semester exams..i am really just anxious..can you say another thing or two to add to my way..or just following like this great😅❤
I think you're doing well so far since you also do well in your semester exams. I didn't do anything much special too so you'll do well as well. Keep up the good work!!
Thanks for sharing, Heather. May I know if you had to attend tuitions for some subjects or did you just have to attend your school for IGCSE preparation?
hi heather what will u do after completing your A level ? is their any universities for degree which allows you to study Cambridge syllabus? Or do u have to join Cambridge university itself to pursue a degree?
Hello! I'm currently not doing my A levels but to answer your question, you can actually go to any university with O levels -- not just Cambridge. A lot of universities accept IGCSE O levels but you might need to finish A level or do further courses like OSSD, UCUK or take SAT exams to enroll.
I recommend you to always take breaks between your study sessions and try to romanticize the process since it'll help you keep motivated! Andd I'm an FLE student
OFCC Honestly, 8 years is just because I have enough time to finish all which is why I did 8 years worth of past paper. 5 years' already a lot so it's totally enough to get an A*
You can check out the syllabus of each subject to find out what information will be tested! ANDD you'll just start to know after doing past papers for awhilee
hey umm i waned to ask is it better to do just your own variant of past papers and do more like 5 to 6 years or should i just do 2021 to 2023 pastpapers and all varients?
If you don't have time, it's better you just do the past papers from your variant first. BUT I still suggest you to do all the variants for the recent years like 2022-2024.
@@itsonlyheather did you get consistent 90%s when doing past papers or were there times where you'd get lower, and how did you revise your notes? recently, i've just been doing past papers and i seem to be only getting around 45-48 / 75 marks
@@joshuavillanueva2848I don't always get around 90%, it varies from 70% 90%. I wanted to get above 90 in my final exam so I marked all the past papers where I got less than 90% and practice them again. I also marked the questions I got wrong so that I can try to do them frequently. If you keep getting lower marks, you could try to find out which area you need to study more and study the notes on that area again
