This is so helpful for me. I’m in year 9, about to start the GCSE course and this is definitely what I needed to hear. My school’s revision advice is make flash cards and buy their overpriced textbooks. Now I don’t feel overwhelming dread every time I think about the next two years of my life.
In the exact same boat as you and I feel these secondary school years have flown by almost in year 10 and damn that shit hits real hard rn starting all the hardcore stuff
Good luck 😂 😢
Good thing you're starting earlier than I am. For some reason, in the whole of Yr 9 I didn't compute that the GCSE course was basically starting so I still kept my 0 studying habits that I had all the way from Yr 7-8, and it's affecting me now in Yr 10. Hope you do well in revision, future mocks and your GCSE. :)
got my first next week friday. triple biology. ive revised fuck all
@@rhombus2490 freaking hell must be shit. I’d try cramming liads of shit in. I’ve just finished topic two (b2 biology) we learned abt the blood the heart the systems enzymes blood vessels n all that shit.
Actually so glad I've found this in year 10. Definitely gonna start doing past papers, it sounds like an actually fun way of revising.
yeah they work really well i’m in y11 with like 2-3 weeks left until my exams and like a month ago i was getting like terrible marks im getting good grades now
if you don't wanna cram it all 1 month before the exams I'd say take like 30 mins every other day making flashcards on topics you're doing/have done. use those flashcards to do past papers in like January and then keep doing it with your notes until you don't need them anymore.
same but ive got mocks in a few weeks 😅
past papers are literally THE number one way to revise. they're the most effective for sure. do lots of them and mark them and it will really give you a massive headstart especially as you're only in year 10 also over the summer I'd recommend revising everything you've learned in year 10. it sounds like lots of work but it's really helped, i'm now in year 11 and my gcse revision is much easier because i'm recapping stuff that i've already gone over a couple of times which makes it easier to remember!
@@pigeon_371 i got mocks in a few weeks, im year 10 and im doing past papers and just marking them, did u also use past papers in your mock exams or did you do other revision techniques?
my current grades ill be back in august maths: 9 english lit: 8 english lang: 7 physics: 8 chemistry: 9 history: 9 biology: 9 spanish: 8 german: 8 add maths: A drama: 9
so happy for u, keep going!!
Excited to see!
you're doing very good i got grae 9 for maths, english lit 6, english lang, 8, chem 8, physics 8, history 9 (easy 9), italian 9 (im native italian) , spanish 9 (similar), and on drama which i regret choosing, i got a 4 even tho its a free grade for my mocks, Something flipped inside of me and made me stutter mid- through. My writing on techniques carried tho.
wow you're doing amazing

Good luck!!

im boutta do the pure definition of cramming
same tho 😭
Can definitely back everything you said here Dennis and everyone watching, i got all 8s and 9s in all my core subjects and things like taking notes from mark schemes and questions are the small things and more efficient methods that set you apart. Also do good in your GCSE's just to prove to yourself and others that you can dedicate and discipline yourself to something even at 15-16 years old.
Great video, especially with the distractions all around us making it harder and harder to focus. It's useful that you talked about ways around that.
This will be really important for me next year. Thank you so much Dennis
Watching this at a level as if I’m actually going to apply this to my revision
Thank you, this is actually really reassuring!
As a year 10, good luck year 11s! I’m sure you’ll do great
I have my first biology GCSE 10th of May and I’m stressing so hard :[ Thank you for making this video!!

Watching this as a Year 10 who is struggling so much and with my mock exams next month... I'm hoping this video helps me bc I have not been doing great since Year 7
Trying to get all 6s minimum in science. I’m going to get a grade 9 with the math exam if I put in the work, I know this because I got a Grade 8 in the mock exam. It’s just further maths for me I suppose. And I need to get 7s in English probably so that’s another focus I need to work on. As for history, I’m going to play it how you are doing.
For English, go to questions that need quotes, work out wich ones are relevant and write them dow.
Good luck to everyone else throughout the Great War😭😭 at this point I’m just hoping for 6+ but my mentality is that if I aim for higher than I can actually do I’ll do better than I expect
I’m doing mock’s TOMORROW.. and just using this as a quick guidance… IK IM LATE TO LOOK AT THIS BUT OH WELL 😭😭
If anyone needs help with the "how useful are the sources" 8 marker for medicine through time, this is how I answer them I write two "JCOP" paragraphs, one about each source. Each paragraph looks like this: 1. JUDGEMENT - "source A is useful for... because..." 2. CONTENT - detail from the source - "the source states that / the source explains that / the source describes how..." 3. your OWN KNOWLEDGE to back up the source - "this is accurate as I know that..." 4. PROVENANCE - this is how reliable the source is. "the provenance of the source makes it useful because it was written by a soldier on the western front from his personal experiences / the provenance of the source makes it useful because it was published in a medical journal" something like this overall this takes 4, maybe 5 sentences. You don't need a ton of stuff for this question. Just stick to the structure. Judgement, Content from source, Own knowledge, Provenance history questions are mostly about following structures. if you learn the key facts and information, and learn the structure of each exam question, you'll be fine
Have you got structure for the 12 and 16 markers?
@@kaidoa1539 12 marker: 3 paragraphs, no intro or conclusion needed each paragraph should give one reason for the thing stated in the question. for example, if the question was "explain why there were improvements in medical knowledge in the years 1500-1700", your first paragraph could be about Thomas Sydenham or the printing press, for example. for each paragraph I would structure it like this. clear opening sentence - "one reason for... was..." then just add to this - include any relevant knowledge you have about this point, and link it back to the question at the end. eg if I use the earlier example, and I was writing about the printing press, I'd say something like "one reason for improvements in medical knowledge in the years 1500-1700 was the more widespread use of the printing press." then I'd talk about how the printing press allowed information to spread more easily and scientists could build on each others' theories. then I'd finish with a sentence that links my point back to the question - eg "since the printing press allowed scientists to share their findings and disprove old theories, medical knowledge improved greatly in this period." so clear opening sentence, then include any relevant knowledge, then link back to question. each paragraph does NOT have to be super long. write 3 of these paragraphs and that's all you need. remember the question will give you two bullet points, I'd recommend using these as the basis of your first 2 paragraphs - you don't HAVE to use the bullet points but they're available to help you. 16 marker: this will normally be phrased something like "... was the most important reason for... in the years..." and will then ask how far you agree eg "the role of the church was the most important reason why there was little change in care and treatment 1250-1500. how far do you agree?" for a 16 marker you need 3 paragraphs again, but if you have time it can also be a good idea to include an intro and conclusion, as it makes your argument seem more well rounded and thought out. each paragraph follows a similar structure to the 12 marker. it makes sense to start with the thing in the question, so for this example, something to do with the Church. I'd probably go with the fact that the church controlled medical training. make an opening sentence, include relevant knowledge, link back to question - the same as in the 12 marker. but for the 16 marker, make sure the final sentence of each paragraph makes a JUDGEMENT. "I can therefore largely / somewhat agree / disagree with the question, because..." for example with the Church question, I would end my first paragraph like this: "I can therefore largely agree with the question, because the Church's control of medical training held back medical progress during this period." I hope this all made sense, I was kind of rambling!! if you need me to clarify anything or send example answers just let me know. also, the best way to get used to the structure of questions is simply to practise! it isn't the most fun form of revision but it's the most useful because it forces you to think back to what you know. write as many past paper questions as you can, and ask your teacher to mark them. once you get the hang of it you'll soon get into a rhythm and then you'll be able to smash the exams!
thank you
i would also seriously recommend perfecting grammar for language because it will really push you to those higher marks ,anyone can mesmerise certain objects and phrases in their language but if you are not using it in the right grammatically it will cost u marks !!!!
bro im right abt to start my year 10 mocks tysm

Great video, very helpful. Are GCSE grades just as important as your final A-Level results when it comes to applying for uni?
No not at all. A levels are so many miles more important when it comes to uni. Ofc u wanna try at GCSEs but unis look at gcse results much much less than they look at a level results
Also some A levels require certain GSCE grades
most useful vid
i finished school 3 years ago, idk why i’m watching this
I wish I saw this one month ago man 😭😭😭
Heres an easy cheat for English GCSEs For anybody who uses a computer during gcse: you can highlight a word on the word processor and look at synonymns for it to see if youre spelling it correctly. It can also give you a wider vocabulary to use.

Hi, not creator but got a 9 in my RS mocks (w/ 90% across two papers), I do edexcel. For me I do use flashcards unlike in the video because for most of the course I would summarize my notes onto quizlets for topic tests, so I strongly suggest using any past notes/summaries you have and to not make new notes from scratch unless you're missing any notes for topics. RS is sort of similar to geography and history as its an essay subject with a ton of information, but I think you can cut down the info you acc need to revise + remember vs the stuff you can deduce just from common sense. For RS the MOST IMPORTANT thing I would say is to remember viewpoints/opinions, especially religious ones. So for every single spec point/issue you cover, you should know around 2-3 different opinions for different groups and be able to back it up with evidence and arguments. e.g. for abortion, if you have learnt Christianity you should know Catholic views and Anglican/Methodist/Church of England views and also differing non-religious views, along with relevant bible quotes/philosophical teachings and explain them. If you are presenting the Catholic view on abortion you need to state it, state the argument (eg Catholics believe in sanctity of life), give some evidence (in Genesis 1 humans are said to be made in "imago dei") and explain the evidence (imago dei means in the image of God, which shows that human life is special, holy and a gift from God thus must be respected and should not be destroyed). You need ro do this in any 6 or 10 markers. For short questions the important thing is to be very specific and answer the question exactly - you do not need to give a lot of info (literally 3/4 words are enough for some Qs) but they need to be highly specific, often scientific or exact religious terms.

Are you aqa tommorow
@@knightcatz5533 yes. AQA, doing Macbeth and ACC. When you do the exam you're given 2 booklets. One with the texts and one for answers. You can write your plan on paper, and clearly mark at the top saying what you're writing on the paper is a plan. When you have finished the exam, you print your typed work, and it is stapled to the answer booklet. It will be just the same as everybody else's, where they have a bit for planning and a bigger bit for writing their actual answers, but instead for you it will just be typed.
thank god i already did this
what do you think will come up in history this year?
