The Current Year 10 Thread (2016-2017)

Hello! My name is Martyna, I'm currently in Year 10 and just started the new GCSE courses in all my subjects.

I like reading, exercising, going swimming and often just checking the internet and starting wars with people, because lets be real, that's always fun.

Im doing:
English language
English literature
Maths
French(AQA)
RE(Edexcel)
History
Triple science(AQA)
Polish(AQA)

Not sure about all the courses, sorry

I don't know if I'm ready! Obviously we're all the guinea pigs, first to actually do the new GCSE in all subjects! It will obviously be harder, and there's no point in past papers now, it'll all be different!

My favourite subjects are Biology, Chemistry, English literature and also French. I like history but wouldn't consider it a favourite.

Since I was 7, I knew I wanted to be a doctor. I am very interested in Medicine and it would be my biggest dream come true if I got the grades to study it. If it doesn't work out, I'll definitely consider English literature, I find it so interesting!

Well I'm already in Year 10, and its a LOT harder than last year. No playing games anymore, this is the real thing! I've always studied at home since I started Year 7 so I find that helps me with studying this year.

FLASHCARDS!! One of the best revision methods I've used, it never lets me down. It's hands down my favourite method for learning keywords, terms and equations.

Year 10 is not hard.

Yeah it is when you're doing 4 GCSEs early 🙂

I wish my school gave me the chance to do four GCSE's early at least that would have reduced the pressure and workload I faced during year 11 as I had to sit all 10 of my GCSE's in year 11. GCSE's are not hard as long as you work hard and even if you don't and maybe slack of a bit you can still pass they are easy. I ended up with 6B's and 4C's (old spec GCSE's) with minimal revision.

Anyone know what the extract for the English Language paper 1 on 6th June going to be about ?

Which subject are you currently enjoying the most? Which exam board is it?

At the moment, I really like maths (AQA) and food and nutrition (AQA). They've both been my favourite subjects since Year 8, but I am actually enjoying the content, unlike subjects like physics or computer science, which I find a little tedious.

truss me maths is actually enjoyable now.
what grades are you getting for maths now and what mark?

Mostly like, 80 - 90%, around grade 7/8/9. What about you?

Most of the times I get around 60% which is definitely not good enough 😢😢 60% should be around a 6 right?

Yes, I think so but we have no real idea of the actual grade boundaries until the results for the 9-1 maths come out this summer.

Still, 6 is a good grade and if you want improve there is still tons of time as I'm guessing you're in year 10. I would recommend getting the CGP 9-1 revision guide and using sites like www.mymaths.co.uk and www.mathsgenie.co.uk to practice and understand the concepts.

i did my actual english language GCSE paper 1 and now tomorrow i have my paper 2

Wish me Luck

anyone have notes for the 3 science's??? Currently doing mocks, only got told what to revise a week ago and i have 8 exams next week. Stressing so much!
