I did my GCSEs last year guys and got well above what I was expecting. I know we've all heard it before but when you get to a levels, you really have to understand a subject. At GCSEs it's all about memorising, getting it all in your brain and then spilling it out on the page. The most improtant piece of advice I could give EVER is that for those of you doing AQA Chemistry, Phyiscs and Biology. READ THE SPECIFICATION, print it out read it highlight it and get tested on it. Each topic subcategory will have a list of points and each of those points will translate into a mark on a paper I PROMISE YOU. Literally it's funny reading through the mark scheme and reading the specification points for that topic, they're identical. Anyway, the other most important thing to do is PRACTICE PAPERS and it's ok if you get things wrong because you'll remember them next time around, if you're feeling particularly unprepared then do a paper with your notes and then do one without. Those of you doing history make sure you've got facts on post it notes all around the house (if you're allowed) ESPECIALLY in the kitchen/dining area where you can see the facts whilst you eat or get tested on them during dinner. I really wish you all the best of luck, just fancied giving some advice bc I know how much I needed it this time last year!
