Since we are the second to do the new GCSE Maths and English and the first to do the new GCSE Science exams in 2018 😝(
I know you're excited), we should probably get together and share our experiences. Some of us will find it hard and having a thread will help to get through the year.:afro:
Things you could say:
- Introduce yourself!
- What are your hobbies and interests?
- How many GCSEs are you doing?
- What subjects are you taking (include your exam board to find others studying the same things as you)?
- Do you think you're ready for the new GCSEs?
- What's your favourite subject(s)?
- What is your dream career or dream uni?
- How do you feel about going into Year 10?
- Also, feel free to share any revision skills and resources you have

-Be organised and consistent with studying, get into a repetitive routine
-Ensure your notes are clear to make reviewing easier
- Listen to some music that may enhance your learning
- Read notes at night as it is easier to remember things then
- Research outside of lessons
-Use educational websites and watch videos
- Find your learning style, auditory, visual or kinaesthetic
- Don't just copy from a textbook, read, understand and write it in your own words
- If you're stuck, ask your friends, teachers and family for advice
Thanks everyone!
